Shape the Future of Fintech Engineering
Ready to step into a role where you can lead exceptional people, drive real change, and deliver technology that matters?
We're looking for a Chapter Lead to join a high-impact fintech transformation programme, where modern engineering powers real-world financial services at scale.
You'll operate within a product-led environment, building secure, scalable platforms handling millions of transactions, while leading a talented engineering chapter working across cross-functional squads.
This is a role where your impact will be visible, meaningful, and immediate.
What You'll Be Doing
Leading & Inspiring People
- Build, lead and develop a high-performing team of software engineers
- Champion a coaching-first, inclusive culture
- Own the full employee lifecycle, from hiring through to progression
- Create an environment of innovation, accountability, and psychological safety
Driving Technical Excellence
- Provide hands-on technical leadership across modern engineering practices
- Shape the delivery of scalable, secure fintech platforms
- Champion DevOps, CI/CD, and continuous improvement
- Collaborate closely with Product, Architecture, and stakeholders
Strategic Impact
- Contribute to technical strategy and roadmap direction
- Support a major fintech transformation journey
- Enable strong cross-team collaboration and high-quality delivery
What Makes You Stand Out
You're a leader who elevates others as much as you build great software.
- Strong background in C#, .NET engineering within complex systems
- Proven experience leading and mentoring high-performing teams
- Experience in Agile, DevOps, or product-led environments
- Passion for building robust, scalable solutions (fintech or regulated experience desirable)
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
- A proactive mindset with a drive for continuous improvement
Why This Role Stands Out
- £50,000 - £70,000 salary depending on experience
- Work on large-scale fintech platforms with real impact
- Be part of a major transformation programme
- Strong focus on learning, progression, and leadership growth
- Flexible hybrid working
- A culture that values people, innovation, and inclusion
If you're looking for more than "just another leadership role" and want to build, shape, and lead within a fast-moving fintech environment, we'd love to hear from you.
