We’re partnering with a university that is going through an exciting period in their digital journey. We're hiring an Enterprise Systems Manager in a player‑coach role for someone who wants to lead a team, shape systems, and stay close to the technical detail.
If you’re currently a Senior/Lead Developer or in a management role and feel stuck between:
* wanting to step up into leadership

Why this role
* You won’t just manage a team; you’re getting the opportunity to set standards, build and motivate one, across both development and application support.
* You’ll take ownership of business‑critical integrations and live production systems, shaping how they evolve and improve.
* Real opportunity here to stay close to the tech influencing architecture, solution design, and delivery decisions, not just managing from a distance.
* And importantly, there’s a clear progression path into senior leadership, giving you room to grow beyond the role.
Qualifications
* A background in .NET / C# and Azure environments
* Experience working with APIs, integrations, or complex systems
* Exposure to live/production environments or application support
* Experience mentoring, leading, or supporting other developersConfidence working in Agile delivery environments
