Software Development Manager (Contract) – Data & AI Transformation

Location: London (Hybrid – 1 day onsite)

Contract: Day Rate

We’re working with a global investment-focused organisation delivering a major transformation programme, replacing a legacy platform with a modern, cloud-based ecosystem.

They’re looking for a senior Software Development Manager to lead a key workstream focused on data migration and application modernisation. This is a player/coach role combining hands‑on technical input with team leadership and delivery ownership.

The environment is built around React, Python and AWS, with growing adoption of Databricks and AI‑driven tooling.

You’ll lead a small, high‑performing team, driving delivery of key milestones as part of a wider transformation programme. The focus is on migrating and modernising data and applications into a new cloud‑based platform, while improving user experience and engineering capability.
