Head of Web Development

We're looking for a visionary technology leader to head our Web Development practice, someone who can bridge the gap between ambitious digital strategy and flawless execution. In this role, you'll own the technical direction of our web platforms, lead a talented cross‑functional team, and directly shape the digital experiences of the enterprise clients we serve.

This is a senior leadership position that reports to the VP, Digital Experience. You'll work alongside C‑suite stakeholders, practice leads, and client teams, serving as the authoritative technical voice in a fast‑moving, innovation‑driven environment. Champion responsible and performant AI development practices, including robust CI/CD pipelines that support increased development velocity.

Operate as the business leader of the web development discipline with a focus on driving profitability, optimizing utilization, and setting teams up for success with thoughtful project‑level resourcing.

Define and execute the web development strategy, including the architectural roadmap for platforms, integrations, and emerging technologies.

Lead with an AI‑native approach — leveraging AI tools and automation throughout the development lifecycle, from ideation to QA to delivery. Evaluate and recommend CMS and no‑code/low‑code platforms appropriate to each project's context. Architect scalable, secure, cloud‑first solutions with strong command of AWS, Azure, or GCP environments and other CMS platform‑specific cloud environments.

Serve as the senior technical lead in client‑facing engagements. You'll take complex architectural decisions, platform tradeoffs, and technical constraints and make them land clearly for non‑technical stakeholders: clients, brand teams, and marketing lead. You’ll build relationships and affinity with clients and help drive growth.

Collaborate with CX, UX/UI, content, creative, and strategy teams to deliver seamless, high‑quality digital experiences.

Oversee multiple concurrent enterprise‑scale projects, ensuring on‑time, on‑budget delivery without sacrificing quality.

Establish and enforce coding standards, security protocols, and compliance practices across all web platforms.

Ensure adherence to data privacy regulations (GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, etc.) Understand and support our healthcare clients in a healthcare specific regulatory environment.

Implement monitoring, analytics, and reporting frameworks to track platform performance and business impact.

Support internal digital initiatives alongside client work, improving the efficiency and effectiveness of how we operate.

10+ years in web development, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role overseeing enterprise‑scale platforms and teams.

A proven track record delivering large‑scale digital projects — on time, on budget, and with measurable business impact.

Demonstrated experience managing developers across levels (junior through tech lead), including distributed and nearshore/offshore team structures.

Experience in healthcare, life sciences, financial services, or another regulated industry is preferred, though not required.

Technology‑agnostic mindset: you evaluate platforms based on fit, not familiarity — while bringing hands‑on depth with CMS platforms including WordPress, Drupal, and Sitecore, and no‑code/low‑code tools such as Webflow and Framer.

Strong command of modern frameworks (React, Angular, Node.js, etc.), microservices architecture, API‑first development, and DevOps/CI‑CD practices.

Solid grounding in cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP), enterprise security, and compliance requirements.
