Role summary

Kaplan International Pathways is a leading provider of global education, centered around our students. Technology is at the heart of what we do, and delivery discipline matters because we operate across multiple platforms, partners, and time zones.

We are seeking a strategic and technical Development Manager to join our Application Engineering and Architecture Team. This role is unique: you will own the "production line" of our software delivery. While we have multiple distributed development teams shipping code, we need to eliminate friction and ensure seamless integration.

You will not just be managing people; you will be the architect of our flow. You will coordinate teams to optimise cadence, professionalise our release capability, and ensure that our delivery ordering prevents technical debt. You will be the guardian of our platform's integrity and the driver of our engineering velocity.

As the Development Manager you will work intimately with the QA Manager, Solution Architects, Partners, and the Portfolio Delivery Team.



Your mission is to streamline our development cycle through lightweight governance, automation, and artificial intelligence.

- Act as the conductor of the "Release Train," ensuring it runs on time, in the correct order, and that inter-team dependencies are resolved before deployment day.
- Partner with the QA Manager to enforce the Release-Confidence (RC) Score as a hard gate in your pipelines, preventing low-quality code from blocking the flow for other high-performing teams
