An Insight Global client is seeking an organized, process-driven Development Manager to work remotely in Miami/ Ft.

Key Success Metrics · On-time completion of leadership-defined sprint goals and roadmap milestones. · Maintain high developer productivity, clear daily task ownership, and team accountability. · Prompt resolution times (SLA adherence) for support-escalated technical bugs. · Successful evaluation and adoption of new operational tools and special project initiatives.
