As the Technology Platform Lead, you’ll be the senior technical authority for how applications communicate, how data flows across the estate, and how automation and interoperability come together to enable true digital transformation.
Reporting directly to the Head of Data, Technology & Digital Transformation, you will define strategy, set architectural standards, and lead delivery for a central integration platform—replacing years of contractor-led development with a cohesive, scalable, long-term vision.

Delivery & Governance
  • Oversee documentation of all systems, triggers and data flows.
  • Migrate legacy point‑to‑point integrations to centralised, modern patterns.
  • Ensure platform security, data integrity, performance and compliance with enterprise standards.
  • Manage external integration partners, contractors and specialist consultancies.
Engagement & Innovation
  • Translate business and operational requirements into clear technical integration solutions.
  • Collaborate with vendors and an external MSP to ensure stability, scalability and resilience.
  • Drive cloud‑readiness, automation, modularity and future AI‑enabled capabilities.
Core Competencies (Please Self‑Rank & Provide 1 Sentence Evidence for Each) Technical
  • Enterprise integration architecture experience (design delivery).
  • Strong command of APIs, event-driven patterns, queues, webhooks and orchestration methods.
  • Hands‑on with Azure APIM, MuleSoft, Boomi, WSO2, Kafka, Airflow or similar.
  • Understanding of data lineage, transformation and complex data flows.
  • Enterprise security, IAM and API governance expertise.
  • (Desirable) Exposure to Lloyd’s or London Market insurance systems.
Leadership & Behavioural
  • Ability to define, communicate and embed architectural strategy.
  • Track record owning and evolving enterprise platforms.
  • Experience leading internal teams and managing third‑party delivery partners.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement across business and technology.
  • Pragmatic, commercially aware decision‑maker.
Why This Role? This is your opportunity to build the backbone of a business-critical technology ecosystem, shape a modern integration platform from the ground up, and influence the long-term digital transformation of a specialist insurer.
