This role will lead the multi-disciplinary matrix team that will iteratively develop the platform to serve our key internal and external users.
As a Funding & Relationships Product Lines Manager, you will:
-
Identify opportunities and provide input on product vision, strategy, roadmap, and features for the Funding & Relationships Platform and its component applications
-
Engage with colleagues across Wellcome to identify needs, opportunities, gaps and solve problems
-
Collaborate on the product functional design and UX design process based on an intimate knowledge of the customer and technology
-
Play a leading role in effectively resolving major incidents and problems affecting the technologies and products provided by the function.
-
Apply agile methodologies in a DevOps environment, and lead the work’s planning, prioritisation and delivery to drive positive change continuously
-
Contribute to a diverse and inclusive culture across the organisation, collaborating across departments.
Is this job for me?

-
Has experience and understanding of the Salesforce platform

Has a background in supporting software or services in partnership with engineering teams, iterative development, and understanding of Agile principles.
