This is a non-hierarchical company where each individual is valued for their unique contribution to the whole. The successful candidate will have important responsibilities but should see themselves as adding new capability to the business, not as becoming a new layer of management.

An essential element is managing customer driven enhancements into the product whilst ensuring that the overall product functionality & strategy is not compromised.
Organisational skills to manage multiple activities in parallel & the leadership qualities to get the best possible productivity out of the team. A previous background as a software engineer will be a benefit as you may be required to contribute at a design level.
A strong academic background with a good numerate degree from a high quality university. It is also essential to have a well developed problem solving ability & a “can do” approach.
Ideally experience gained within complex software product development environments such as enterprise applications or infrastructure software.
