Woking, 1 day per month

Your new company
I am partnered with a nationally recognised, purpose driven organisation currently undergoing a significant technology transformation. The business has grown to over 1500 headcount in recent years, now taking the decision to bring Software Development in-house, so this is a critical and appealing time to be joining, offering the rare combination of meaningful work alongside long term career security and continuous investment in technology and innovation.

Your new role
This is a pivotal position sitting directly alongside the Head of IT, where you will take ownership of the development strategy and roadmap, shaping how technology is delivered across the organisation and building/coding yourself. It blends .Net work, Solutions Architecture, Business Analysis and Leadership. The role gives full responsibility across the SDLC and will give a great level of autonomy.

You will work closely with both technical teams and senior business stakeholders, driving best practice across development standards, governance and delivery. Alongside this, you will play a key role in modernising the technology landscape, influencing platform decisions, supplier relationships and the overall direction of engineering within the business.

What you'll need to succeed
To be successful, you'll bring a strong background in C# .NET/.NET Core development. You'll be comfortable designing APIs, working with cloud platforms such as Azure or AWS, and implementing CI/CD pipelines, with a solid grounding in SQL/MySQL and Crystal Reports.

Just as importantly, you will have the ability to engage with stakeholders at all levels, combining technical depth with strong communication skills and the confidence to influence both technical and non technical audiences.

Experience owning/modernising internal business systems in a professional services environment will be highly desirable.

What you'll get in return
You'll be joining a business where you can genuinely make an impact, with the autonomy to shape the technical direction while remaining close to delivery. The organisation offers a strong overall benefits package, hybrid working, and a supportive, values driven culture focused on collaboration and continuous improvement. This is an opportunity to step into a role where your work not only drives meaningful technical change but also contributes to a wider purpose, within a stable organisation that is actively investing in its future.
