Join 1st Central as a Lead Finance Solutions Developer
1st Central are on the lookout for a technically strong and analytically minded Lead Finance Solutions Developer who can bridge the gap between finance, data engineering, and actuarial analytics. If you’re passionate about delivering high-quality, scalable data solutions to support business-critical decisions, and you enjoy working across multidisciplinary teams, this could be the perfect role for you. You'll play a key role in designing and maintaining data pipelines and tools that enable complex financial and actuarial modelling, reporting, and insight.
Even if your background is more analytical or engineering-focused - and you don’t meet every single requirement - we still encourage you to apply. We value diverse skill sets and are open to candidates with the right mindset and transferable skills.
We’re big on flexibility. Our teams are spread across Salford Quays, Manchester and Haywards Heath, West Sussex, but we work from home most of the time. We think collaboration is pretty great though, so we like to get together now and then - just to keep those creative sparks flying. Prefer being in the office more often? That works for us too. We’re even open to remote working - all we ask is that you join us in person about once a month to stay connected and keep those face-to-face vibes alive.
Skills you’ll need to be a great fit for the role:
* Strong Stakeholder Management and Relationship Building Skills - you’ll excel at collaborating with stakeholders across Finance, Actuarial, and Data Engineering to understand requirements and deliver high-impact data solutions.
* Expertise in Data Engineering and Development - you’ll be comfortable designing, building, and optimising scalable ETL/ELT pipelines using cloud-based technologies and SQL, ensuring data is accessible, accurate, and timely.
* Financial and Actuarial Knowledge - you’ll bring a working understanding of finance and actuarial principles, especially those related to Solvency II, IFRS 17, or GAAP, and how they apply to modelling, reporting, and regulatory compliance.
* Python Proficiency for Advanced Analytics - you’ll use Python to develop scripts for automation, data transformation, and analytics - enabling everything from reserves analysis to forecast simulations.
Ready to Apply? We’d love to hear from you! This is a fantastic opportunity to shape the future of finance and actuarial data at the heart of 1st Central.
If you're excited by solving complex problems and building solutions that make a real impact - even if you don’t tick every box - don’t let that stop you. Whether your background leans more towards engineering, analytics, or finance, what matters most is your ability to learn, collaborate, and drive meaningful change. Hit the apply button now!
