Information Technology Development Team Lead

Career Opportunity:
Development Team Lead Make an Impact with Technology that Changes Lives

Are you a natural people leader who genuinely loves helping engineers grow? Join PESI and use your leadership skills to power life-changing education for professionals around the globe. As a Development Team Lead, you will own the day-to-day people leadership for a subset of our development team — coaching, unblocking, and growing your engineers — while working shoulder-to-shoulder with peer leads and reporting to the IT Development Manager.

You’ll stay close enough to the technical work to earn credibility and speak the language of your team, but this is a people-first role: your primary job is leading and developing engineers, not writing the most code. If that mix of leadership instinct and technical curiosity sounds like you, read on.

Since 1979, PESI has reached millions of professionals every year with advanced training that helps them bring hope and healing to others. Our mission is simple but powerful: connect knowledge with need. From mental health to healthcare, we deliver innovative, cutting-edge education that makes a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

With offices on three continents and growing, we’ve built a culture rooted in inquisitiveness, collaboration, responsibility, and continuous learning.

We embrace curiosity, creativity, and a commitment to continual improvement.

Our values guide us:

• We innovate boldly. We learn fast and fall forward.
• We empower our people. Every associate contributes to our success and acts like an owner.
• We build trust. We go direct, assume competence, and communicate openly.
• We act with purpose. Every decision we make aims to deliver measurable value—to our business and the people we serve.

The PESI IT Team supports every aspect of our organization, from desktop support to enterprise software development. We build and manage systems that drive innovation, streamline operations, and enhance the customer experience. Our team values agility, accountability, and cross-functional collaboration. We’re looking for someone who can think strategically while managing fast-moving, iterative development work with purpose and precision.

The Development Team Lead is one of several peer-level people leaders within the development team, each responsible for a subset of developers. These leads report directly to the IT Development Manager and work collaboratively with one another to keep the broader team aligned, unblocked, and moving in the same direction.

Leads in this role also work in close partnership with the VP of IT, both as a resource for their own leadership development and to stay connected to the broader strategic direction of the IT organization. This relationship is an intentional investment in growing strong, strategically-minded leaders.

• Serve as one of the people managers for the development team — handling day-to-day coaching, feedback, and performance conversations
• Coordinate PTO, capacity, and scheduling to ensure the team is appropriately staffed and workloads are balanced
• Foster a positive, respectful, and energized team culture where engineers feel supported and empowered
• Run 1:1s consistently and create a safe space for engineers to raise blockers, ideas, or concerns
• Lead onboarding for new team members, ensuring they ramp quickly and understand SOPs, team norms, tools, and expectations

• Stay close enough to the code to earn credibility with your team — weighing in on pull requests and technical discussions, and diving into the code when your leadership duties allow.
• Familiarity with our tech stack (C#, .NET Core, ASP.NET Core/MVC, React, Type Script) helps you keep up with the conversation — deep, current expertise isn’t required, and we’re glad to help you build it.
• Partner with senior engineers and architects on major technical decisions, translating direction into guidance your team can act on — you don’t need to be the one designing every system.
