Software Development Jobs

This is a newly established role, to design and lead the Group of Companies in-house AI-enabled software delivery capability, and to drive the Intranet rewrite in phase 1 and its ongoing enhancement. You will be writing code yourself while also building the development function and the way it works day-to-day. This is a player and coach role. The initial focus is the Intranet — a platform that underpins key operational workflows across the credit business. The rewrite will be phased to a modern stack, designed alongside business heads, and judged on whether it actually improves how work gets done, with the aim to extend it across the other companies in the Group. Over time, you will grow and lead a small engineering team that takes on more of our workflow automation and internal application development.
