## About the Role

Agency experience would be highly advantageous, but it isn't essential.

More important is your ability to operate in an environment where several client projects are moving simultaneously.

You could already be a Head of Development, or you might be an ambitious Lead Developer / Technical Lead looking for the opportunity to take the next step.

We're particularly interested in people who are:

 * Technically strong and still enjoy being hands-on
 * Comfortable leading and supporting other developers
 * Strong communicators without ego
 * Commercially aware and capable of scoping work
 * Comfortable dealing with clients and senior stakeholders
 * Organised across multiple projects and competing deadlines
 * Collaborative and willing to roll their sleeves up
 * Ambitious about helping build a growing digital capability

You don't need to be the finished article as a people manager.

If you've got the technical capability, communication skills and natural ability to get the best out of a team, there is support available around the more formal aspects of management.

## Description

You'll lead an established development team consisting of Lead, Senior and Junior-level developers while working closely with other discipline leads across the agency.

You'll take ownership of technical delivery, help scope new projects, support and guide developers and ensure multiple client projects remain on track.

Importantly, you'll remain technically hands-on.

You'll be involved in:

 * Leading and supporting an established web development team
 * Remaining hands-on across development when required
 * Scoping and estimating new digital projects
 * Managing multiple concurrent projects and technical priorities
 * Improving delivery, timescales and technical processes
 * Working closely with clients and internal stakeholders
 * Collaborating with Design, Strategy, Performance and other agency disciplines
 * Providing technical input during pitches and project discussions
 * Mentoring developers and helping individuals progress
 * Contributing to the agency's wider technology direction
 * Exploring new technologies, tools and AI opportunities

Technology

The environment is predominantly centred around:

PHP | WordPress | JavaScript | HTML/CSS | Framer | APIs & Integrations

You don't necessarily need to tick every technical box, but you'll need strong hands-on web development experience and the credibility to guide an experienced development team.
