IT Team Leader

IT Team Leader Location: Remote (Global) | Travel Required: UK for senior strategy sessions + occasional global team events About Us My Digital Nomads are a truly global collective of people who can band together and power business, giving clients a global presence without the hassle. We position ourselves between clients who need teams and services and the world of digital nomads and remote workers in order to power the services our clients need and power the lives our nomads want. We work in an environment of growth, creativity, and collaboration, aiming to create a workplace where our team thrives, grows, and achieves their full potential. Full Job Description We are seeking a IT Team Leader to join our leadership team and drive the next phase of our AI-augmented development transformation. In this position, you will step into a critical leadership role within our 8-person development team during a pivotal period of change. Following a recent strategic restructuring to embrace AI-driven development, we need a player-coach who can establish performance standards, drive delivery excellence, and provide our senior technical leadership with the insights needed to refine our technical strategy. You will lead the technical delivery process in collaboration with senior technical management on architecture and strategy, work sideways with product and operations managers on alignment and priorities, and work directly with the development team on execution, performance, and growth. This is a hands-on leadership role—you will still code, review architecture, and solve complex technical problems while building the management infrastructure needed to assess individual and team performance effectively. Your responsibilities will include establishing clear performance frameworks for developers working in an AI-augmented environment, conducting regular individual and team reviews with actionable feedback, and translating technical progress and challenges into executive insights for senior management. You will drive the adoption of AI development practices that accelerate delivery without compromising quality, architect solutions for complex technical challenges, and maintain active involvement in code reviews and critical development work. We are looking for someone who can rebuild team cohesion and momentum following the recent restructuring, implement structured processes without creating bureaucracy, and balance the demands of upward technical leadership, sideways cross-functional collaboration, and downward team management. You will identify when AI-driven approaches are working and when they're creating technical debt, provide honest assessments of team performance and project health, and create clarity and direction during a period of transformation.
