Job Summary:
The Technical Lead of Solutions provides technical leadership and direction to development activities related to the Solutions team. These development projects are similar to Professional Services projects, usually the customization or enhancement of NAVBLUE products for the specific use of customers in their unique environments. This can include minor product behavior changes, Enterprise business integration activities, and a focus on product components that have clear and defined interfaces.
The majority of the projects under management will be specific to single customers, time-boxed, and with strict closure criteria. Although we will have a limited pool of dedicated developers available for Solutions activities, the variable nature of work projects means the bulk of activity is done by contract teams, with a preference for working in a Contracted Deliverables model, rather than Time and Materials model. The contractors will number from 1 to a few dozen over time depending on customer demand.
The job focus of the Technical lead is to be responsible for the technical aspects of the work. Primarily this means the computer and software technical aspects, although the lead is expected to work closely with Product experts, and represent these needs to our development teams over time. The technical Lead will also work closely with the manager of Solutions Development, who will focus on working with stakeholders and customers to define the requirements, arrange for appropriate contract resources, and oversee the evolution of projects, up to and including deployment.
