Senior Technologist IT Development Lead Role

Role: Senior Technologist IT Development Lead

Client: [Employer hidden — view at passion-project.co.uk]

Compensation: Up to £240,000 + Bonus + Package

Location: London (Hybrid 3–5 days on-site)

Overview

My [Employer hidden] client is looking for a talented, motivated, and hands-on technology leader to serve as the vital link between Investment Professionals and Technology solutions. This is a high-profile role where you can truly make your mark within the company, operating at the intersection of high-finance and cutting-edge tactical development.

The Role

This position requires a "player-coach" mentality—someone who is as comfortable collaborating at the C-suite level as they are building tactical tools. You will lead the delivery of technology solutions that empower investment teams, bridging the gap between core systems and front-office needs through a mix of Python development, low-code automation, and robust database management.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Acting as the primary technical bridge between Investment Professionals and the IT function
  • Developing and maintaining tactical tools using Python (Pandas/NumPy) and web frameworks
  • Implementing low-code/no-code solutions via Microsoft Power Platform to streamline operations
  • Managing the full development lifecycle, including Git-based version control and secure deployment
  • Collaborating directly with C-level executives to align technology strategy with business goals
  • Integrating and automating Excel workflows using VBA where essential for investment processes
  • Managing data storage and manipulation using SQL Server and other database technologies

Requirements

  • Tactical Development: Expert proficiency in Python (Pandas, NumPy, Flask/Django)
  • Automation: Practical experience with Microsoft Power Platform (Power Apps, Power Automate)
  • Legacy/Integration: Strong VBA skills for advanced Excel automation
  • DevOps: Advanced Git knowledge (branching, merging) and experience with GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket
  • Data: Proficiency in SQL (specifically MS SQL Server) for complex data manipulation
  • Soft Skills: Motivated, energetic, and experienced in C-level stakeholder management
  • Best Practices: Deep understanding of code review workflows and secure financial deployments

Bonus Experience

- Exposure to data structures for investment platforms: Allvue (OMS), Geneva (Fund Accounting), or WSO (Loan Accounting)

What’s on Offer

  • Market-leading salary up to £240,000 plus a significant performance bonus
  • A high-profile role with the autonomy to shape the firm's technological direction
  • Exposure to sophisticated investment strategies and elite finance professionals
  • A collaborative environment that values both technical depth and commercial energy
  • Strong hybrid working options based in a premier London location
  • Comprehensive benefits package typical of a top-tier Hedge Fund
