We’re 1st Central, a market-leading insurance company utilising smart data and technology at pace. Rapid growth has been based on giving our 1.4 million customers exactly what they want: great value insurance with an excellent service. And that’s the same for our colleagues too; we won Insurance Employer of the Year at the British Insurance Awards 2024 and our Glassdoor score is pretty mega too!
We're seeking a highly skilled Lead Solutions Developer to join us on a 12‑month Fixed Term Contract, responsible for connecting finance, data engineering and actuarial analytics to deliver robust, insight‑driven solutions.
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.
We’re big on flexibility and hybrid working. Our teams are based across Salford Quays, Manchester, and Haywards Heath in West Sussex. We mainly work from home, coming together in person around once a week to collaborate and share ideas — with the flexibility to be office‑based more often if you prefer.
We’re looking for someone who has:
- 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 SQL/Python to develop scripts for automation, data transformation, and analytics – enabling everything from reserves analysis to forecast simulations.
If you enjoy working at the intersection of finance, data and analytics, this is your opportunity to do your best work. Check out the full job profile on our career pages and why not Apply Today !
