THE ROLE
At Debenhams Group, we are on a journey of transformation, revitalising our brand, culture, and connection with colleagues and customers alike. In a fast-changing retail environment, effective and authentic communication is vital to building trust, aligning our teams, and amplifying the impact of our work across internal and external audiences.
We’re looking for a Team Lead to join our Software Development team, responsible for leading a team of four developers who build the internal applications used across the Debenhams Group business.
You’ll balance hands-on technical leadership with people management — setting direction, reviewing code, and making architectural calls, while coaching your team and helping them grow.
Our applications are built with React and Node.js, deployed to AWS, and follow event-driven architecture patterns using SNS, SQS and EventBridge.
You’ll work closely with the Software Development Manager to plan sprints, prioritise the backlog and manage delivery risk, and you’ll own incident response and root cause analysis for issues within your team’s applications.
This role will be based out of our central Manchester office 3 days per week.

We want visionaries, disruptors, and doers—people who bring fresh thinking, relentless energy, and the drive to make an impact.
WHY JOIN US
Our mission is to create a workplace where everyone is respected, individual differences are valued, and people can be themselves at work — without exception.
2025 was a year of significant change for the Group. 2026 is about bold moves, real results and unstoppable momentum. If that excites you, you belong at Debenhams Group.
