Exciting Opportunity for a Development Manager at Entelect

Elevate your career at Entelect, where we prioritise people and nurture a culture of growth, collaboration, and innovation.

Join a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment that encourages versatility, and provides individual attention to career development, including intentional and regular one‑on‑ones with leadership.

Tackle complex challenges and make a meaningful impact alongside passionate professionals who inspire and support each other.

What You’ll Be Doing

Delivery

  • Status tracking of project tasks, milestones, deliverables, or key dates.
  • Risk and expectation management – resourcing, deliverables, requirements, and at times budgets.
  • Taking high‑level responsibility (planning and leading) for software project delivery management. These projects are not SAP v4 to v5 upgrades, they are custom builds with a fair bit of tact and problem solving required. They are also not 3 years; typically, projects will be 6‑18 months.
  • Working closely with 5 or more teams operationally.
  • Performing business analysis / problem solving on the fly, and rapidly context switching.

People

  • Forming and norming software delivery teams, including onboarding, offboarding, and team member rotation.
  • Building team cohesion and managing team identity.
  • Closely coaching software teams on practice, communication, and culture.
  • Identifying opportunities for personal growth and provide one‑on‑ones, performance reviews, and personal career mapping.
  • Customer

  • Managing customer accounts, building relationships, and handling commercials, financials, and administration, often as the main point of contact.
  • Composing, delivering, and tracking customer status reports.
  • Facilitating and managing customer feedback during demos, meetings, and calls.
  • Seeking opportunities to strengthen customer partnerships.
  • What We Need from You

  • A BSc, BIS, BCom, or BEng degree in Computer, Software, Information, or electronic related Sciences.
  • Minimum 8 years' experience in the IT industry as an Analyst / PM / Software developer with experience in consulting.
  • Minimum 5 years' experience leading and managing teams in all aspects of coaching, performance management and driving team culture.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills with a drive for continual improvement.
  • A hunger to continually improve those around you through mentorship, guidance and awareness of what drives those on your team.
  • Pro hybrid working model working from the office on average 2 – 3 times per week.
  • A strong customer‑facing ability.
  • Flexibility to work across a variety of different environments and tooling.
  • What You’ll Get from Us

  • A competitive compensation package with twice‑yearly salary increases and guaranteed bonuses.
  • Tenure‑based loyalty leave.
  • Access to employee wellness programs and rewards for professional development.
  • Commission incentives for successful business development leads and employee referrals.
  • Hands‑on support from leadership through regular one‑on‑ones and quarterly reviews.
  • Continuous development programs offering training in leadership and technical skills.
  • Exposure to enterprise projects across multiple domains and problem spaces for South Africa’s most esteemed organisations.
  • What To Expect from the Recruitment Process

    Our aim is to make the recruitment process as efficient as possible, keeping you informed every step of the way.

  • The first step is an initial conversation with our talent team to get to know you better and introduce you to Entelect.
  • The next step will be an in‑person coffee chat with someone from our leadership team to discuss the role expectations in detail.
  • Following the coffee chat, we will invite you back for an in‑person case study presentation where we will give you the opportunity to showcase your leadership skills.
  • Finally, if we are both aligned, we wrap up the process with salary discussions and present you with an offer of employment.
