What you're going to do
One of your most important tasks is supporting colleagues in realizing their full career and performance potential. This positions offers you the possibility to support a local software development team as a local Project Manager, while you will manage a group of engineers.
Development Team Leads are responsible for a local development team in a project, consisting of developers, testers, and business analysts. Within the project they report to the Project Manager who delegates the implementation of the application to the Development Team Lead and their team. This achieves scalability of the project team, both in number of people and in terms of locations involved.
Besides your project related work you will also join our leadership program where you can learn all important aspects of people management at Adnovum. The Program starts after your first month at the company and takes cca 3 months depending on your development. A team of dedicated leadership mentors will help you along the way and provide you the opportunity to set up for success from the start.
