Your role in the team

  • You will take on the disciplinary leadership of our development team bocoa, which consists of around eight people, foster your employees’ individual strengths, and shape their professional and personal development.
  • You create the organizational framework for successful software development, manage team capacity, and ensure realistic, transparent planning that takes workload, availability, and staffing needs into account.
  • You keep track of the different requirements from projects, product development, support, and quality, facilitate discussions around conflicting objectives, and work with the teams involved to develop sustainable solutions.
  • You ensure clear responsibilities, identify bottlenecks and risks early, and provide your team and adjacent departments with clarity and reliability through open communication and proactive management.
  • You work closely with the development lead responsible for the area, as well as with Product Management, Project Management, Quality Assurance, Customer Service, and other team leads, strengthening cross-functional collaboration.

Our expectations of you

Education

  • You have completed a degree in computer science or a comparable field, or have equivalent vocational training and relevant professional experience.

Qualifications

  • You have already taken on disciplinary leadership responsibility, ideally for a development team, and know how to support employees individually and achieve goals together.
  • You have hands-on experience with agile ways of working and capacity planning, can assess resources realistically, and set clear priorities even when faced with competing demands.
  • You stand out for your clear, dependable, and appreciative leadership style, address challenges openly, and support your team even in demanding situations.
  • You handle differing interests and conflicts constructively and ideally already have some experience with border control, identity verification, or public-sector clients.

Experience
