We're now looking for an excellent technology leader to enable the continuation of this work: to set the vision and enable its ongoing development and support, as well as to lead the newly formed multidisciplinary team on a day-to-day basis. Working in an Agile manner, you will lead technology work across our business-critical systems and processes, promoting the effective use of supporter data to deliver our goal of being a data-driven organisation. This includes our Dynamics CRM and integration, and our SUN finance system. You will also be a key contact point across the IT department for project management and, when required, be an escalation route for support incidents and requests in your area.

Experience with a robust and modern Software Development Lifecycle. Technical experience with the Power Platform, Logic Apps, or SQL is advantageous. Excellent understanding of Agile methodologies and experience leading within Agile Scrum practices. Adept at working with others to tackle problems collaboratively. The team: The team comprises two Application Specialists (one Finance, one Dynamics) and two Data Developers, all with significant expertise in different parts of our systems. They have worked closely together throughout the delivery of the CRM project and use Agile Scrum for their delivery work, for which you will be the Product Owner. The team works a hybrid pattern: often remote, but sometimes together as appropriate; typically in our London office but can vary. You will formally line manage all four team members. Closing Date: Monday 10th February 2025 (23:59). Interview Dates: 20th February 2025. Hours: Full time (30 hours over 4 days) Location: Flexible across England, Wales and Northern Ireland Salary: Regional £42,528 - £44,568 per annum, or London £45,902 - £47,942 per annum (London salary applicable to candidates who are based in the London office a minimum of two days a week) Please note we only accept applications via the Friends of the Earth Application System. We offer a competitive range of benefits, good work/life balance including a 4-day working week with no loss of pay, excellent learning and development opportunities, and a vibrant organisational culture. Friends of the Earth staff who publicly represent Friends of the Earth (including all campaigners) are not allowed to also represent a political party to ensure that there can be no confusion in the minds of the public about Friends of the Earth's party-political independence. Friends of the Earth is an international community dedicated to protecting the natural world and the wellbeing of everyone in it. We lead campaigns, provide resources and information, and drive real solutions to the environmental problems facing us all.
