The Metropolitan Police Service was formed 192 years ago. Since our inception, the primary objectives have remained constant, combatting crime and protecting the public. Our Technology Research and Innovation Team are responsible for keeping the Met at the forefront of emerging technology innovation and developing leading-edge solutions for frontline operational requirements. The team achieve this by researching and developing bespoke solutions for Operational and Corporate MPS customers, including Counter Terrorism.  

We are recruiting for a TRI Development Manager to lead a dedicated and diverse team delivering these solutions. We are looking for a visible and accessible leader to take ownership of two core areas of responsibility:

1) To ensure TRI successfully deliver new innovative solutions across all of its functions to meet Operational deadlines. Reporting to the Head of TRI you will act as the conduit in providing engineering governance and oversight on project progress.

2) To provide day-to-day hands-on leadership and mentoring to an IT (and other engineering disciplines) Development Team in the laboratory. As this is a hands-on role you will be asked to manage the full lifecycle of IT design projects from concept to fully functional products or systems and will also include managing the on-going support of some delivered solutions to end of life. You may also partner with external suppliers and collaborate with them to produce solutions. This role will involve the coaching and direction of staff to support them in developing their engineering skills further; so that they can deal with the many technical challenges TRI will face in the future. You will be expected to take on some of the more complex aspects of an IT solution and then introduce the learning outcomes into the team.

The development manager role will also include managing stakeholders, gathering customer requirements and documenting technical and non-technical factors, producing design and project plans, project documentation, user manuals and guides.
