Let’s talk numbers. When it comes to UK retail, it’s hard to find a bigger name. We sell thousands of items an hour and are expanding our e-commerce business by the second. For anyone in Tech, this is the place to learn. To grow. And to thrive.
Our eCommerce websites and apps have grown steadily over the past 10 years to become one of the largest online retail platforms in the UK. We currently sell to 70 international markets, offering our 6 million active customers a personalised shopping experience and the ability to purchase from a wide range of products using multiple delivery methods and payment types. eCommerce is the biggest department at Next and is based across multiple sites and countries, working across development, testing, support, architecture and more to keep ourselves ahead of the pack.
The role
Project management. Team management. Stakeholder management. These are three core areas of your role as a Product Development Manager. Get these right and you’ll be able to successfully ensure our teams run smoothly, providing business continuity and supporting critical business events. And as part of the department leadership team, you’ll also contribute strategic insights and operational improvements that boost team success – plus morale, profile and reputation.
Day-to-day, your responsibilities will include:
* Line managing and coaching a squad of Support Developers and Analysts
* Utilising your knowledge of tools such as ServiceNow and Dynatrace
* Responding to business demands for greater analytical and reporting capabilities
* Delivering specific departmental data solutions
* Identifying and validate business requirements as well as strategic business drivers
* Budget control
* Communicating project progress and issues
* Agreeing appropriate design standards, methods and tools
* Ensuring quality and governance processes are followed
You’ll be doing all this from our Leicestershire Head Office. A fast-paced, encouraging and supportive environment in which everyone brings an energy and a commitment to delivering for our customers and their own careers. Bring your energy. Play to your strengths. Make things bigger and better than before. Let’s Take It On.
We’re always happy to have candid chats about what you need, and where you need to be in order to be at your best. So, flexible working is fine by us.
So if you’ve got solid project management credentials gained in a technical environment, great team management skills, and experience handling stakeholder needs, requests and relationships, this is the place for you – and your career.
