Manager, Software Development

Due to growth, we are adding a Manager, Software Development to our team!

The Manager, Software Development role is directly accountable for the success of a designated Product Oriented Development (POD) team. A POD is a cross-functional, agile delivery team responsible for the end-to-end delivery of a specific product or application component. POD teams are proud of the business value they deliver and operate with a growth-focused mindset, continuously pushing the envelope on modernizing systems rather than simply maintaining existing solutions.

The Manager, Software Development provides proven leadership and is accountable for developing, coaching, and supporting a team that may include software developers, product owners, scrum masters, and quality assurance analysts/testers. This leader is responsible for the product created within the POD and ensures delivery through strong project management practices, technical expertise, and collaboration with business owners. This role emphasizes ownership, accountability, and the delivery of reliable, scalable, and secure software solutions that meet business needs on time and within scope.
