A globally respected FTSE-100 based in the heart of Rotterdam (Netherlands) is currently on the lookout for a Technical Team Lead with experience of AI/Big Data (analytics/dashboards) to join their Digital Transformation team. This is an initial 6mth contract, but the programme of work is expected to last up to 2 years.

Working within a newly assembled and highly-talented department of technical specialists, the aim of this role is to spearhead and grow a team of front and Back End engineers. This is about scaling an Agile team at speed, and ensuring (+ maintaining) their buy-in to a Digital Transformation that's the first of its kind.

Responsible for driving real agile change, the Technical Team Lead requires key skills in Agile/Lean Development. You'll operate in 6-week iterations, accelerating the transformation project through its various stages and ensuring a smooth adoption period for the traders.
