Software Development Manager

Portland Webworks, Inc.

Job Description

Job Description

About Us

Portland Webworks (and our public sector brand GovWebworks) is a mission-driven software consulting and professional services agency focused on custom development for the public sector. We build web applications and digital services that make government more accessible, efficient, and user-centered. Our CMS based projects are primarily centered around Drupal and we endeavor to be an active part of the broader Drupal community. Philosophically, we are technology agnostic choosing tools that best meet our clients’ needs, with a focus on open source and proven solutions so while we have a bias towards Drupal based on experience, it is not the only tool we consider and use. We seek constant innovation, providing progressive solutions for our clients and continually pushing the boundaries of how we provide those solutions.

The Role

We are seeking a motivated and versatile Software Development Manager to join our leadership team. In this role, you will oversee a remote team of 12 CMS developers , managing project execution, staff development, and team operations. You will be a key player in delivering high-quality client work , growing our CMS-based product offerings , and cultivating a strong team culture grounded in collaboration, mentorship, and technical excellence.

This role reports to the Director of Software Development.

Key Responsibilities

Team & People Management

  • Lead and support a distributed team of CMS developers (in-house and contract)
  • Conduct performance reviews and regular one-on-ones
  • Coach and mentor team members for growth and accountability
  • Manage hiring, onboarding, and contractor relationships

Project & Technical Leadership

  • Serve as a technical leader across CMS projects (primarily Drupal)
  • Meet with clients and internal stakeholders to move projects forward
  • Ensure alignment of technical decisions with long-term product vision
  • Support client projects with staffing, estimates, and delivery oversight

Strategic Leadership

  • Define and drive department goals aligned with company strategy
  • Support the evolution of our CMS-based product offerings
  • Engage with the Drupal community to foster visibility and collaboration
  • Monitor department performance and contribute to company-wide initiatives

What We’re Looking For

  • Experience leading or managing technical teams , with a strong record of motivating and supporting others
  • 5+ years of experience in web development , including CMS platforms (Drupal strongly preferred)
  • Excellent communication and client-facing skills
  • Familiarity with professional services/consulting environments (public sector experience a strong plus)
  • A versatile thinker who can balance project needs, technical vision, and team dynamics
  • A commitment to community engagement and continuous learning


Benefits

We strive for excellence in everything we do. We value wisdom, curiosity, and a sense of fun.

Our work is meaningful. From providing easier and better ways for citizens to access state government information and programs aiding in a more informed and better served populace, to keeping pets and animals safe through registration and welfare tracking, to making vaccines available to people most in need- our software often has a direct benefit to people we’ll never meet. 

We are also very dedicated to the people within our organization.  We are proud to be consistently named one of Maine’s "Best Places to Work".

The benefits that we offer include:

  • 100% Paid health and dental benefits for employees
  • Health Reimbursement Account (to minimize out of pocket costs)
  • Flexible Spending and Dependent Care Accounts
  • Company matching retirement plan
  • Annual profit sharing
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Up to 25 days paid vacation
  • Free parking (you will love Old Port parking)
  • Supportive and engaging work environment for all employees, in office and remote
  • Inclusive and collaborative management style, actively seeking and considering all employee perspectives in decision-making
  • Competitive pay and merit increases
    • Pay scale for Software Development Manager: Depends on experience

This position requires passing a criminal background check due to client contracting requirements.
