Work closely with stakeholders and third parties to understand business needs and translate them into technical solutions. Support build capacity by contributing to coding, testing, and debugging activities where required. Drive continuous improvement through agile ceremonies, backlog management, and sprint planning. Champion innovation, encouraging the team to explore emerging technologies such as AI, automation, and chatbots. Promote a "right first time" ethos, embedding quality and best practice across all stages of development.


You'll join a motivated, forward-thinking IM&T team that values creativity, accountability, and continuous learning.
