Web Development Manager | Chester | Hybrid |.NET
KDR are working with an established, customer-focused business looking for a Web Development Manager to take ownership of their web development function.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys combining technical leadership with the commercial side of technology, working closely with teams across the business to improve their digital platforms and customer experience.
You'll lead a small team of developers, taking ownership of the web development roadmap and working directly with Marketing, Product and other stakeholders to understand what the business needs and how technology can help deliver it.
They need someone who can bring their own ideas to the table, challenge requirements where necessary and help shape the direction of the platforms rather than simply delivering whatever comes through the door.
What you'll do
Lead & Develop the Team
- Manage and support a team of Web Developers, providing technical direction, improving engineering standards and helping the team deliver consistently.
Own the Web Development Roadmap
- Take responsibility for planning, prioritising and delivering web development projects, balancing technical requirements with commercial priorities.

Why this one is interesting
This isn't a role where you'll simply manage a development team and keep projects moving. You'll have a real opportunity to influence the direction of the company's web platforms, working closely with commercial stakeholders and helping shape what gets built and why.
It's a good fit for someone who enjoys the technical side of engineering management but also wants to have a direct influence on customer experience and wider business performance.
