You might not have the title but may already be the go-to person in your team, mentoring colleagues, organising delivery, shaping estimates and translating ideas into action. Or you might already be leading a team and looking for work that feels more meaningful. Either way, here’s that rare opportunity to take ownership, lead a capable team, and make a genuine impact.
We’re looking for a Software Team Manager / Dev Manager to guide, support and develop a busy, collaborative team. You’ll bring clarity, direction and structure - not micromanagement - and help the team deliver high-quality software across a varied project landscape. You don’t need to be hands-on coding, but you do need a solid understanding of how software is built. SQL knowledge is a real advantage too, as many of their applications are data-driven.
You’ll be leading a team of nine developers and DBA's, mainly mid-level and junior, supported by a couple of seniors. They work across a large suite of applications and databases, covering everything from maintaining existing systems to new feature development and greenfield builds. The core tech stack includes Java, Glassfish and Oracle, with the data team focused on Oracle (SQL) and OCI. There’s also a small PHP team and React Native for mobile.
You’ll be supported by an excellent IT Director - an experienced, people-first leader who’ll help you succeed, share the load, and ensure you have the tools, training and development to grow your career.
This organisation is a UK charity doing genuinely important and unique work, integral to the national ecosystem. Their software underpins internal operations, research, outreach, and public engagement, so the work you and your team do really matters.
Whether you’re a Senior Developer or Team Lead ready to step up, or an established Software Development Manager, Test Manager, Delivery Manager or Project Manager looking for a more meaningful role with flexibility, this could be the perfect next step.
A great team, a supportive leadership culture, interesting challenges, and purpose-driven work.
