The Lead Software Developer will be an excellent communicator with an aptitude for eliciting requirements and user stories from non-development colleagues, and an ability to transform requirements into a technical plan for implementation whilst maintaining a customer focus.
Prior supervisory/management experience within this space, and an interest in helping to mentor and develop multi-sited team members is also a pre-requisite.
