Our aim at Made Tech is to use human-centred technology to improve our society. We believe putting people at the heart of designing, building and delivering public services leads to better outcomes for everyone.

You will work as part of cross-functional teams which might include other Made Tech team members, stakeholders and partner agencies. You will inspire trust in the team, guide and coach teams through the product process and use your influence to continuously iterate and improve ways of working and processes.

Normally working within one or two teams, you will promote effective cross-functional delivery by building motivated, collaborative delivery teams. You will use agile methodologies, with additional processes for managing dependencies, supporting risk mitigation and resolution, and managing the project scope and budget.
