Product Group Technology Manager (Supervisor)

The Product Group Technology Manager (Supervisor) is a member of NBG’s Technology & Innovation leadership team, accountable for safety, people leadership, and measurable technology outcomes for the business. The Supervisor leads a high-performing team across the software development lifecycle and, together with fellow leaders, shapes how the organization is structured, staffed, and run. The team partners closely with the business to deliver reliable, secure, and forward-looking technology services that support NBG’s growth and innovation strategy.

Basic Job Functions:

• Safety & Culture Leadership: Model the Nucor Way through integrity, personal responsibility, open communication, and leading by example. Put teammate safety first, reinforce safe work practices, and integrate safety into daily operations and planning. Seek diverse perspectives, invite teammate input to solve problems, and provide the information, tools, and resources the team needs to succeed.
• Outcome-Driven Technology Leadership: Lead technology teams accountable for business outcomes, including service reliability, delivery predictability, quality, and measurable value to NBG. Apply sound judgment to current operational problems while anticipating future business and technology needs. Evaluate alternatives and trade-offs to ensure applications and platforms are reliable, secure, and scalable.
• Technology & Innovation Leadership Team: Contribute as a member of the leadership team to shape organization structure, staffing, standards, and ways of working. Take ownership of shared outcomes beyond your own team, engage in direct and constructive conversations when alignment or accountability is at stake, and lead teammates with confidence through ambiguity and change.
• Team Leadership & Development: Recruit, lead, coach, and develop teammates in roles such as Software Engineers, Software Architects, Product Owners, Quality Analysts, and Support Analysts. Know teammates’ strengths, aspirations, and development needs; create individualized growth plans with coaching, training, and meaningful development opportunities. Encourage an open-minded, growth-oriented approach and provide timely feedback and performance management to build an engaged, accountable team.
• Delivery Execution & Prioritization: Translate business priorities, roadmaps, and needs into clear priorities, measurable goals, execution plans, and teammate ownership. Balance delivery commitments with operational needs, remove obstacles, and follow through on commitments. Use service, quality, and delivery measures to guide corrective action and connect technology outcomes to business value, operational effectiveness, and profitability without compromising safety or values.

Additional Job Functions

• Lifecycle Areas of Responsibility: Lead one or more parts of the software development lifecycle as the organization requires. Areas of responsibility may include:
• Planning, Quality & Release: Ensure work is well defined, tested, secure, and released predictably. Promote test automation, CI/CD, and disciplined release practices so completed work reaches production without delay. Plan and lead change management so new tools, processes, and applications are adopted by the business.
• Solution Design & Engineering: Guide the design, development, integration, and modernization of applications. Establish engineering standards for architecture, code quality, security, testing, and maintainability, and support teammates through technical reviews and the resolution of complex problems.
• Application Operations & Sustainment: Own the health of current production applications, including incident and problem management, support responsiveness, and monitoring. Reduce recurring issues through root-cause fixes, administrative tooling, and data-integrity controls rather than repeated manual corrections, and balance run commitments with improvement work. May include running and supporting commercial applications.
• Cross-Organizational Alignment: Collaborate with technology leaders and teams across Nucor, including enterprise ERP teams and other Fabricated Products businesses, to align with enterprise standards, platforms, and strategic direction. Establish clear ownership and handoffs between teams across the lifecycle. Consider cross-team dependencies and broader business impacts when making decisions, and translate shared direction into actionable team plans.
• Continuous Improvement & Agile Practices: Challenge existing approaches constructively and actively seek and support teammate ideas to improve safety, quality, productivity, service, and cost. Explain why change matters, encourage learning, and use Agile practices and service and performance metrics to test improvements, assess results, and sustain effective changes. Apply consistent Azure DevOps practices, including work item structure, sizing, and sprint cadence, so work is visible and rolls up cleanly across teams.
• Communication & Transparency: Maintain clear, proactive, two-way communication with teammates, peers, leadership, and stakeholders. Listen actively, explain the purpose behind priorities and changes, translate technical concepts into business-relevant information, and ensure shared understanding of expectations. Provide timely updates on progress and risks, recognize contributions, and address accountability concerns directly and constructively.
