• Reviewing designs with an eye on scope, budget, and technical feasibility.

• Keeping projects moving: managing deadlines, flagging risks, and tracking progress in Monday.com.

• Estimating development tasks accurately and updating PMs on progress.

• Presenting technical solutions to clients in a clear, approachable way.

• Sharing new tools, frameworks, and ideas with the team—and experimenting to find smarter ways of working.

• Mentoring juniors, encouraging good practices, and supporting a culture of collaboration.

• Confident with Git or other version control systems.

• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate technical decisions clearly.
