Who we're looking forAn experienced lead developer (10+ years) who is ready to take the next step in their career to drive the design, implementation and adoption of Cloud collaboration technologies.
About Schroders
We're a global investment manager. We help institutions, intermediaries and individuals around the world invest money to meet their goals, fulfil their ambitions, and prepare for the future.
We have around 5,000 people on six continents. And we've been around for over 200 years, but keep adapting as society and technology changes. What doesn't change is our commitment to helping our clients, and society, prosper.
Technology at Schroders
There's a huge amount of change going on at Schroders. Technology's shaping our business more and more, so there are many opportunities waiting to be grabbed. And because we're a big financial player, we can put hefty backing behind good ideas.
We're a serious business - we have enormous responsibilities to our clients and shareholders. But just because we're suited and booted, that doesn't make us stuffy; our tech teams are friendlier and more informal than you might expect.
The base
We moved into our new HQ in the City of London in 2018. We're close to our clients, in the heart of the UK's financial centre. And we have everything we need to work flexibly.
The team

What you'll do
Your role will initially focus on the delivery of SharePoint Online / O365. Following the successful launch, you and your peers will continue to deliver functionality enhancements to our users, whilst decommissioning our existing SharePoint on-premise stack.
You will be involved in every aspect of solution delivery, including solution analysis, design, technical development and implementation, stakeholder engagement, and user roll-out.
We are working to establish a low-friction delivery pipeline to meet our goals, and so experience in similar environments and DevOps practices is a must.

Ensure Employee Collaboration technology alignment with the Enterprise Architecture vision during prioritisation and throughout delivery. Provide the technical leadership to the team
Support the Capability Lead to balance and refine the backlog to ensure that delivery of technical and architectural enablers are appropriately prioritised.
What you'll be like

Curious: Interested in the latest tech developments, and how you can use them
Calm: you're positive under pressure and happy to take the lead in challenging times
