A financial services firm is hiring a Technical Applications Lead (Financial Services) to oversee a critical business systems environment. This is a role for someone who understands how software is built, how live applications are supported, and how to lead both internal teams and external delivery partners in a practical, hands-on way from a management perspective. It does not require coding day to day.
Job Responsibilities
- Lead the team responsible for keeping core business applications reliable, supported, and fit for change
- Guide the team on sound development practices, structured delivery, and sensible technical decisions
- Oversee both enhancement work and day-to-day production support across in-house and outsourced resources
- Work with business users to turn operational needs into workable application solutions
- Manage incidents, recurring issues, changes, and ongoing improvements across a live environment
- Coordinate external developers and support resources to ensure delivery quality and accountability
- Bring structure, ownership, and technical judgement to how applications are run and evolved
Job Requirements
- Proven experience leading an applications or software team in a technical management capacity
- Must have a real development background, even if no longer coding day to day
- Strong understanding of software engineering principles, application change delivery, and production support
- Able to lead technical discussions, challenge weak approaches, and make practical decisions
- Prior experience in financial services is preferred, especially in operationally sensitive environments
Why You Should Join Them
- Opportunity to lead an environment that combines delivery, stability, and technical ownership
- Broad role with influence across applications, support quality, vendor management, and stakeholder engagement
- Good fit for someone who wants to stay close to technology without returning to a purely hands-on developer role
- Visible position within a business where application reliability genuinely matters
