Software Consulting Team Lead
Would you like to take up new challenges as a team lead in the software consulting business? Or maybe you are a seasoned professional in the software business and would like to take a step towards a leadership position, but are not yet ready to totally give up project work? Now you have the chance to jump into something new as we have an interesting career opportunity for you!
We are looking for dynamic and motivated Team Leads for Insta Digital, who are drawn to both hands-on software consultancy work and leading an extremely skilled team of software consultants.
In this role you will dedicate part of your working hours in leading a team of software and data professionals. The time that is left from leadership tasks, your contribution should be on hands-on software consultancy work. Or if sales or other business development activities are your choice, let us know how we could benefit from your expertise in this area!
WE AT INSTA DIGITAL
Insta Digital, a business unit within Insta Group, is a provider of software consulting services focusing on creating reliable software for demanding environments. Our services include concepting, design, implementation, and quality assurance of demanding digital products and services that are reliable and have security built in. We work in a variety of domains. Most of our customers are companies in the industrial sector, where our solutions are used by mobile work machinery operators, production line workers, product development experts, and autonomous robots. However, we do also work with customers focusing on other domains too.
Our organization consists of over 70 highly skilled professionals who, as our organization is growing, will now be splitted into 4 to 5 teams in areas of Data, Web&Cloud, Embedded and Design/QA/DevOps. In this role you would be leading one of these teams.
YOUR ROLE AS A TEAM LEAD
You will be acting as the first point of contact for around 10-30 team members regarding all daily leadership matters, except for those solely HR-related. Team leading will take around 20-40% of your work time.
There is no need for heavy bureaucracy nor profit/loss-responsibilities; you can keep your focus on our people and projects, and make sure your teams´ capabilities on a daily level are looked after.
You will also be contributing to providing a good environment for our experts to increase their learning – that is, nurturing information and knowledge sharing and facilitating discussions regarding emerging trends in the team’s field of expertise and interest. You do not need to be the best expert in the team’s area of expertise, you just need to be interested in helping experts in that area grow their skillset.
You will be fostering a positive work environment, ensuring the well-being of all team members, and building a strong, inclusive team culture. We hope you will buy our existent culture and nurture it further.
You will be participating in the recruitment process including identifying team recruitment needs, attending recruitment discussions, and supporting the onboarding of new team members.
You will be responsible for your team’s utility rate and making sure our experts are allocated to the right projects at the right time. Therefore, collaboration with our sales team, management and your team members in staffing and identifying potential candidates for new projects is also on your weekly task list.
You will be having a seat in the extended steering group of Insta Digital. We hope you will be contributing to strategic discussions and decisions and with your unique expertise you will help our organization to grow and prosper.
THE OTHER PART OF YOUR WEEK
You will be contributing to software development projects or sales initiatives based on your background and expertise.
Our teams are focused on embedded software, web and cloud development, design, test automation, DevOps and data centric solutions. As a software senior or architect, you will be taking part in our consultancy projects as a more senior member, architect or project lead. Or as long as it is good for our business, it might be something totally different, depending on your background. Either way, you will be taking part in technical discussions and customer co-operation.
WHAT CAN WE OFFER YOU
Our key values include trust, psychological safety, and supporting individuals´ growth to their full potential. You can trust your coworkers to support and care about you. You will have plenty of freedom and responsibility in our self-organized workplace. Our main office is situated in the Finlayson area in central Tampere, but you could also be located in the capital region and have our Espoo office as your home base. Whether you work at our office, in customer premises, or mostly from home, we support to set you up ergonomically and efficiently. We are also continuously developing ways of working to support our people and ensure a safe and enjoyable workplace also in the long run.
We aim to create something extraordinary and truly meaningful together, learn from each other, and help our customers succeed. We want to be the best place to grow for seniors and juniors alike. We have excellent benefits, good work-life balance, and a rather nice culture. However, our view might be subjective on this one.
WHAT WE´D EXPECT FROM YOU?
- Flexibility is the key, as the allocation of team lead work time may vary weekly (20-40%), requiring the ability to adapt to changing priorities.
- Proven experience in a people or team lead role, with a strong focus on team development and culture building.
- Relevant experience in software development or sales, with a deep understanding of industry best practices.
- Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively communicate and resolve issues within the team.
- Experience in recruitment processes and team management.
- Ability to collaborate effectively with sales teams and contribute to business development discussions.
- Strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple tasks and projects simultaneously.
- Good communication skills in English and a capability to communicate in Finnish on a basic level.
