About the role
We are seeking to appoint to an exciting new Full-Stack Development Lead role on a permanent, full time basis. This is a pivotal post within our established and highly impactful IT Team, which has been designed to ensure that our IT and software development operations run smoothly.
As a senior member of the IT team, you will support service delivery by leading, driving and delivering longer-term technical projects to meet deadlines and by maintaining agreed service levels. This new role builds our IT team’s resilience at a senior technical level; you will report to the Head of IT who, amongst other management duties, acts as the overall IT architect and also leads, drives, and delivers various technical projects. As a senior leader, you will also act as a mentor to more junior team members to assist them in developing existing skills and gaining new ones.
This post presents a great opportunity to take ownership of various projects previously overseen by the Head of IT, which could include: maintenance and further development of the departmental website; redesigning and reimplementing the examinations database; and developing various helper and automation scripts for the maintenance and automation of our IT systems. You can find a full list of potential projects outlined in the job description document.
Although you will be primarily based in central Oxford, the department are open to a hybrid working arrangement at typically two days per week from home.

You will have an honours degree or equivalent experience, with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, in particular the ability to work very closely with a variety of end users including senior academic and professional services staff, students, visitors and collaborators, and to communicate deeply technical concepts to non-technical audiences. You will be highly self-motivated and enjoy working both independently and as an effective member of a small team, with a light management touch.
We proudly hold a departmental Athena SWAN Silver Award and an institutional Race Equality Charter Bronze Award, which guide our progress towards advancing racial and gender equality. As part of our strategic aim to improve staff equality and diversity, we would particularly welcome applications from BAME candidates, who are currently under-represented in positions of this type within the department.
Application Process
If you wish to speak to someone informally about this post, please contact Dr Waldemar Schlackow (Head of IT) [ mailto:waldemar.schlackow@maths.ox.ac.uk ] or Dr Keith Gillow (Director of IT and Physical Resources) [ mailto:keith.gillow@maths.ox.ac.uk ].

Managing Consultant - Product and Programme - Dual Desk Basic c. £30-42k OTE £100k+ Outstanding benefits Hybrid - 2 days in Office/ 3 days WFH Based London The Person Maybe Product and Programme Management are one niche you cover, but you'd really love this to be your specialism. Alternative, you already cover Product and Programme Management but you're the only one in the consultancy who does this and understands it?! Let's now add on top, whilst you love specialising, the way you're being asked to recruit is a million miles from the advisor you want to be. From VP's of Product Management to Senior Product Analysts, all things Digital Development are your world. But you feel like you stick out because nobody around you devours industry news, listens to tech podcasts or ever wants to join you on a networking event. For you a great day is not 250 LinkedIn messages - it's chatting with a CEO, building genuine connections and seeing every opportunity as a way to expand your professional circle and create meaningful relationships. Just "going through the motions" is not your style - you're driven by genuine quality recruitment work, that frequently draws on your resilience, ability to hold great conversations and carving out a niche as the go-to and trusted consultant in Product and Programme Management. The Company: 15 years in the making this is a recruitment consultancy with a serious competitive edge. Utterly invested and unashamedly obsessed with Digital Development, Design and Tech. They join the dots across the entire Digital journey and is why their 8 specialist niches interact and collaborate so seamlessly for clients, candidates and colleagues alike. A robust leadership team who aren't about to leave the week after you join. They're aspirational, emotionally intelligent and respected industry veterans. They set up the business to prove there can be successful agencies, great at what they do - whilst still being very nice people! Huge on being "seen" and respected within the Digital industry, they invest heavily in the brand to ensure their consultants have a great platform to leverage off. DE&I is a commitment and not a gimmick, so probably won't surprise you to know they're BCorp certified (88.7 overall impact score against business averages of 50.9). Awards and recognition include Great Places to Work, APSCO, Certified CPD Training Investor and London Stock Exchange 1000 companies to Inspire Britain. The Role: As a Digital specialist, the leaders of this consultancy are seeing Product as one of the fastest tech functions as it becomes more centralised and given higher importance within Tech teams. Ahead of the curve, this consultancy started specialising in Product years ago. The individual who ran this desk has set you up with an exceptional platform to leverage off. They have hung up their recruitment boots, so this is a phenomenal and rare opportunity to walk into a warm desk with Product, Project and Programme Management roles to work on from day one. Leading and driving this niche yourself, they focus on Product Management experts, placing £50k to £150k specialists who are not the "design" end of Product - but are the brains behind the definition of the Product initially and who will also then lead on the delivery of the Product and the Programme. To this end, your hiring decision makers will include VPs', Chief Product Officers, Head of Tech and CTO's through to Change and Programme Management Directors. A dual desk (predominantly Permanent at present) - clients are a combination of Client side and Agency side - from blue chip Corporates to exciting SMEs. Driven by excellence, no cutting corners and known for giving first class service - your new client generation and existing business relationships are both fuelled by an advisory and consultative approach. Equally, candidate generation is encouraged with the same relationship led mindset - it's as important to forge strong relationships and a network of those not currently seeking a new role, as with those who are. The leadership love innovation and encourage you to come to them with ideas around events, podcasts, interviewing an expert and posting it on LinkedIn - even if you're nervous, they'll support you through it!
