ABOUT LIS The challenges humanity is facing aren't the stuff of dystopia, science fiction, or textbooks. They're happening today - and they've never been more complex and interconnected. Yet our higher education system is still structured in silos, leaving graduates ill-equipped to tackle the complexity that surrounds them. The next generation is now demanding to learn in a different way. That's where The London Interdisciplinary School comes in. LIS is a start-up university that equips learners with an interdisciplinary toolkit to tackle the complex, real-world problems of the 21st century. With a world-class faculty, five exceptional cohorts and close partnerships with global organisations, LIS is building a new type of education for those who want to shape the world, not just fit in. We are the first new UK education institution for 50 years to be granted full degree-awarding power since inception, and offer Bachelor's, Master's, and soon an MBA programme that take a ground-breaking interdisciplinary approach to education. ABOUT THE ROLE This is an opportunity to join the leadership of the UK's most exciting new progressional degree: the LIS MBA. The London Interdisciplinary School is creating an MBA to challenge the outdated curricula and purposes of traditional business and management education. The LIS MBA is a broad, intellectually rigorous degree preparing leaders to operate in complex systems. It focuses not on traditional business cases but on the global shifts that modern organisations have to grapple with, including the energy transition, artificial intelligence, ecosystem regeneration, public trust and the question of purpose. The programme will be taught by a range of internal and external faculty and we are looking to onboard an additional leader to work in tandem with the MBA Programme Director, Dr Amelia Peterson. You will be responsible for supporting the realisation of this programme, including contributing to teaching, management of the programme faculty, and communicating about the programme.

ASSOCIATE PROGRAMME DIRECTOR SCOPE The Associate Programme Director is designated by and reports to the Programme Director, supporting in the design, development, management and assessment of the Programme they have been designated to lead on. The formal responsibilities of the Associate Programme Director are limited to deputising for the Programme Director in their absence.

Parkopedia was founded with the mission of being able to answer any parking question, anywhere in the world. Today, Parkopedia is the world's leading digital parking and EV services provider used by millions of drivers and organisations such as Apple, TomTom and 20 automotive brands ranging from Audi to Volkswagen. Are you a hands-on Software Engineering Manager with an adaptable, flexible and pragmatic DevOps mindset? Are you able to lead and motivate a team to deliver high quality software that meets the needs of the business? We are looking for a Software Engineering Manager to lead the team responsible for Client Engineering which enables drivers around the world to leverage our solutions from within their vehicle. The right candidate is hands-on with PHP backend development, Redis, SQL, has a good understanding of infrastructure and deployment approaches, with experience of people and project management. You will also have a proven track record architecting large-scale full stack PHP applications with Laravel and deploying solutions on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Responsibilities People Management You will be responsible for a small team of talented backend and frontend software engineers. This will involve ensuring that they are engaged, continuously learning, and ensuring they are as productive as possible. Project Management The team develops an iOS survey application and a website that is used by our Data Operations team in Moldova to collect and curate data, stored in AWS. This data is then distributed to B2B customers via APIs, some of which are owned by the team and through the website and Android/iOS apps. On top of these responsibilities, the team is working to modernise the codebase, e.g. by reviewing and extending current best practices.

This ranges from ensuring that the team writes up good designs, to PR reviews, to writing code yourself. You will be a generalist, who is technically curious, and over your years of experience this will have led to you trying your hand at projects in many areas of software engineering. You will guide the team through design, implementation and testing of the website and iOS/Android applications, fostering an environment of continuous technical growth and encourage the team to explore innovative solutions. You will review and ensure the delivery of high quality code, system designs, and architectural decisions, and you will collaborate with architects and other tech leaders to shape Parkopedia's technical roadmap. Minimum Requirements Demonstrable experience as a software engineering lead Demonstrable experience in recruiting and managing technical teams, including performance management Demonstrable experience using full stack web development technologies and frameworks, in particular PHP, Laravel, AWS, Redis and SQL Demonstrable experience of working in Agile delivery teams with a focus on collective on-time delivery Demonstrable experience in production support including incident management and root cause analysis (RCA) Strong interpersonal and communication skills Ability to articulate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences Parkopedia is committed to building a great work environment for all our employees. Here are just a few of the benefits that we offer: Unlimited annual leave - yup, time off is as important as time in the office, we all need to unwind and recharge our batteries! Generous parental policies - for maternity/paternity/adoption leave Hybrid working policy Flexible working hours Paid time off for volunteering Annual company retreat Pension contribution Training allowance Private medical insurance EV scheme Cycle to work scheme Gym membership Eye care and flu vouchers We are an equal opportunities employer and believe in the power of a diverse and inclusive team.
