We are looking for a PHP Developer who has managed or led a team of developers. This person will manage and oversee an external development company that is currently developing a new system in PHP and some Java.

This includes developing or assembling the following artifacts: technologies, information, application artifacts, related metadata, policies, procedures, standards, principles, and objectives. The role will also provide guidance to programs or large/complex projects by consulting with domain architects and peers involved in implementation projects.

The Development Manager will lead a team of Object-Oriented language programmers on highly complex projects, instructing, advising, directing, and checking the work of team members. Responsibilities include quality assurance review of development projects and the evaluation and documentation of team procedures.
