About Your Team
The Software Development Data team designs, develops, and supports data transfers across our internal systems and client interfaces. Our scope includes database design, ETL processes, reporting solutions, and the maintenance of an enterprise document management platform. We ensure the smooth and reliable operation of our systems while providing high‑quality 2nd‑level support.
About Your Role
In this role, you will lead the organisation and continuous enhancement of our document management ecosystem, which handles more than 20 million documents annually.

7. Leading testing activities, coordinating release management, and providing ongoing production support.
8. Participating in both project work and day‑to‑day operations within an agile, cross‑functional environment.
This is a hands‑on role requiring strong technical affinity, proactive problem‑solving, and a desire to continuously improve our systems and processes.
