About the job

CONSENSUS is working with Venquis to hire an experienced people leader for the development team in Copenhagen to run its development alongside their technical lead Anders Wiberg.

The development department currently consists of:

• 1 tech lead
• 3 product owners
• 11 developers

• 1 UX designer
• 3 external developers (full time consultants)

Its people are split up in three SCRUM teams (two feature teams and one architecture/dev ops team) and one innovational unit. Each feature team and its innovational unit has a Product Owner. CONSENSUS is looking to employ approx. six more developers this year and a tester.

Are you someone with extensive experience leading multiple teams of developers, preferably with a background in software development? You are not expected to have current or deep experience with the technologies in CONSENSUS’s stack, but it’s important you have in-depth understanding of what it entails to run a development department.

• Team up with Anders and serve as a safeguard of the department towards the volatility of the business side of the organization
• You would be part of the leadership team and included in strategic discussions on product strategy and direction as the business heads toward SAAS offerings
