Starting salary up to £30k based on experience and skills, plus brand new iMac or PC

thrudigital builds websites, social networks, widgets and social media apps. We take ideas and turn them into reality. Become one of the stars in our central London office.

You will join our friendly, fun and hard-working team of social media development junkies on a range of projects. We develop websites, social networks, widgets and social media apps for exciting and high-profile clients from entrepreneurs to large organisations such as Sky, ITV, O2 and even 10 Downing Street.

The role will report to and be guided by the Operations Director. You will be responsible for a technical team of 5 to 7 staff at any one time, covering up to 4 projects.

As a technical project manager, you will be involved in a range of work on a daily basis:

• Forming technical and usability solutions to problems collaboratively with the team and client
• Establishing client requirements, documenting these and communicating these clearly to the team
• Drafting and finalising wireframes, based on requirements, for the designers to follow
• Planning development workflow, deliverables and agreeing milestones with the team and client
• Achieving agreement and sign-off from clients on the completion of a development plan
• Maintaining the development schedule and monitoring progress
• Testing, bug tracking and support
• Ensuring projects are delivered on time, on spec and on budget
• Maintaining a hands-on approach during development and coding occasionally
• Research and blogging

What you give us:

• You must be on the cutting edge of web technologies and trends and know the ins and outs of the social web
• Always learning under pressure, whilst improving your own standards as well as ours…all the time
• You must have a background in programming (LAMP)
• You should have experience working in large demanding projects with multiple stakeholders and coders
• You should have some experience managing technical teams
• You should be ready to step into something challenging that requires a lot of learning and will progress your career substantially
• You should be mature, straight-talking, process-focussed and calm in the face of chaos
• You must be prepared to be thorough and spend most of your time planning and testing

Just some of the things we love at the moment (if you have experience in these, it’s a bonus):

• jQuery
• AJAX
• Git
• Capistrano
• Cake
• Amazon EC2

We are a friendly team who are proud of each other and our achievements. We don’t work for objectionable clients or on projects that are set to fail. We take it in turns to be the daily DJ and there is usually something interesting going on in the background, but we like to get our heads down when we need to. We often take the afternoon off to down tools and discuss anything as a group that we think is interesting. We work in a fast-paced environment, and you will find that no two days are the same.

Some of our recent exciting work has been for:

• Church of England
• ASOS.com
• Oracle
• NHS
• Universal
• Sky
• ITV.com
• 10 Downing Street
• O2
