Summary
Tom Maslen is a pragmatic software engineering manager with 13 years of hands-on experience and over a decade leading teams to deliver enterprise-grade B2B services. Currently at RS Group he oversees four cross-functional teams responsible for EDI APIs and three revenue-critical capabilities that together drive roughly $600M in annual sales, growing ~6% year-over-year. He combines product-focused delivery (backlog planning, sprint leadership) with technical vision and mentorship, having run apprenticeship and trainee schemes that scaled engineering capacity. His background spans front-end, cloud and backend systems from BBC visual journalism tooling to migrating services to GCP at Springer Nature, giving him fluency across stacks and operational environments. Based in Harborough, Tom pairs a practical, metrics-minded management style with a penchant for process improvements that cut content syndication and translation times from days to seconds—evidence of a bias for automation and measurable impact. Currently studying for an MSc in Computer Science, he continues to blend formal learning with real-world delivery.
