Type: Permanent

We’re partnering with an established, independent investment management firm to appoint a Technology Manager to lead its Business Application Support function.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a business undergoing significant transformation, with an ambitious drive towards world-class standards across its people, technology and operations.

With a strong focus on operational excellence, high-performing teams and continuous improvement, this role offers genuine scope to influence how a critical technology function operates, while gaining exposure to senior leadership and developing your own career.

The Role

  • Lead and develop the Business Application Support team, driving performance, accountability and operational excellence.
  • Oversee business-critical investment management applications, including BlackRock Aladdin.
  • Drive a shift from reactive, break-fix support towards proactive service management and continuous improvement.
  • Lead incident and problem management, improving resilience, controls and operational processes.
  • Manage key technology suppliers and build strong relationships across business and technology teams.
  • Support technology change, service transitions and the ongoing evolution of the function.

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience leading Application Support or Technology Operations within regulated financial services.
  • BlackRock Aladdin experience is essential.
  • Strong incident, problem and service management experience across business-critical platforms.
  • A track record of improving operational performance, processes and team capability.
  • Confident stakeholder management, with the ability to influence, challenge and communicate effectively.
  • A proactive, hands-on leadership style, with the resilience and accountability to manage critical incidents.

Experience within investment or asset management would be advantageous, although wider financial services backgrounds will be considered.

Salary and Benefits

Up to £100,000 base salary, plus an excellent benefits package including makret competitive pension contribution, 28 days’ annual leave, private medical insurance, life assurance, income protection and wellbeing benefits.

  • makret competitive pension contribution
  • 28 days’ annual leave
  • private medical insurance
  • life assurance
  • income protection
  • wellbeing benefits

Why Consider This Opportunity?

Beyond the day-to-day leadership responsibilities, this is an opportunity to play a meaningful role in shaping a technology function as the wider business works towards world-class standards.

You’ll work closely with senior technology leadership, influence operational strategy, develop a high-performing team and gain broader exposure across the investment management business.

It’s particularly well suited to someone ambitious who knows what good looks like, enjoys driving improvements and wants an opportunity to stretch themselves, grow professionally and make a genuine impact.
