ROLE_OVERVIEW
Reporting to the Sr. Director, Digital Technology Development, we are seeking a hands-on, full-stack Manager, Digital Technology Development to lead a team of developers, both onshore and offshore, who build and run the MANSCAPED® direct-to-consumer platform: the Shopify Plus storefront and checkout, the headless web experience, the Node.js middleware and integrations behind it, and the cloud infrastructure it runs on. This is a technical manager role: the ideal candidate spends a meaningful part of every week in the code – reviewing pull requests, setting engineering standards, unblocking developers and building features – while owning backlog and change management with the Team PM, hiring, performance management, vendor relationships and production health, and partnering with Product, DTC, Marketing, Cybersecurity, Enterprise Applications, the Digital Technology architect and leadership on budget, KPIs and the evolution of the stack.

Participate up to 20-30% in development and deployment related activities – building features, fixing production defects and developing initial SDK implementations for new software being onboarded by MANSCAPED®
Assure production functions are performing properly every day and all alerts from Site Reliability, QA and Cybersecurity are championed to closure, assign priority, and allocate resources as needed – use appropriate scrum or meetings to ensure these teams are effective in supporting Digital Technology
Track Digital Technology KPIs: site availability and performance, checkout health during key trading periods, and delivery metrics (deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, time to restore)
Participating in scrum meetings including backlog grooming, scrum of scrums (cross Team meeting weekly)
Hiring, Onboarding, performance management and career development for Digital Technology developers, including offshore consultants; raise offshore proficiency through pairing, code review and clear standards
Facilitate external vendor relationships and meetings, define ways of working and manage vendor onboarding/offboarding
Determine right mix of internal and external resources based on defined and agreed objectives with leadership
Be the point of contact for mission critical SaaS that MANSCAPED® depends on by building key relationships within the vendor (Like Shopify, Ordergroove, Kount, Ketch, Ablr, Netlify), being aware of support options and escalation paths
Work with Sr. Director, Digital Technology Development to ensure understanding of budget (including SaaS and cloud spend) and defining ownership of specific spend
Partner with the Digital Technology architect on designs, standards and the roadmap for the tech stack, and ensure the team builds to the agreed architecture
Build client relationships (DTC, Marketing, Legal, Product Management) for internal clients and external partners to ensure visibility and support
Champion secure development practices with Cybersecurity: dependency vetting, secret detection and vulnerability SLAs
Plan and facilitate face to face meetings for the Development team as necessary to promote cohesion
Other duties as required
