Software Development Manager required to join a genuine powerhouse in Edinburgh. You will be working on developing world-class products and services in a hugely innovative environment.
The company:
A global Software House who have been at the forefront of their industry for decades; developing new emerging technology; implementing market changing infrastructure and being early adopters/ drivers of new IT systems/technology.
Innovation is key to everything they do, and you will have a lot of autonomy to build cutting edge technology and platforms that will impact people on a global scale. This role is for a newly made team and it has been created in order to improve the current employees working environment and to make their day to day lives more enjoyable.
They have gone back to a flexible work from home, policy. They would be keen for you to be occasionally in the office, however that could be three days a week or once a week (or potentially less).
The role:
You will be managing a predominantly Agile and small team of 8 to 10 (including you), of mainly Software Engineers of varying levels. They are looking for people from a strong and innovative software background and experience of managing small and Agile teams. You won't necessarily have been an Architect previously, but you will however have an understanding of Architecture as well as an input into systems design. On top of this, you'll be responsible for managing the delivery of the team.
As you will be working in a small team, but a larger organisation, you will need to have exceptional stakeholder management skills, up to and including board level. An added advantage for this role would be to have an interest and understanding in Data Science and Machine Learning techniques, as you will be working closely with some data specialists. This is however not a definite requirement.
Package & Office/Location:
You can expect all the perks of a modern software company, including: a stunning custom-built office in the city centre, breakout rooms, pool tables, regular social events, top of the range kit and a very flexible approach to working hours and indeed, work life balance.
The package on offer is genuinely one of the best available in the UK, never mind Edinburgh. We are able to offer a base salary in the region of £90-120k depending on your experience/skills, as well as a bonus, share options and flexible benefits including private healthcare.
This is, without exaggeration or hyperbole, one of the most unique opportunities in Scotland available right now and if you are a Software Development Manager / Head of Software keen to make your mark in a world leading company, get in touch with Hamish at Cathcart Associates for a more detailed conversation.
