• Ability to collaborate with stakeholders across technical and non-technical teams.
• A proactive mindset with the ability to work independently and as part of a small development function.

Location & Working Style:

Based in Yorkshire – hybrid working available. Some onsite presence required due to the hands-on nature of the systems and collaboration with operational teams.

Salary & Benefits:

Salary of £50,000 - £55,000 depending on experience. Opportunity to work within a stable, profitable, and expanding business. Direct impact on systems that underpin the entire organisation.
