Junior Business Systems Developer
Are you at an early stage in your development career, technically curious, and motivated by practical problem-solving? If you are keen to see your work make a direct, visible difference to how a business operates, this is a must-apply opportunity.
Working with a highly respected, forward-thinking financial services firm managing over £5 billion in assets, you will join a small, hands-on, and closely connected technology team. This role has been created to add capacity to the function, meaning you will work side-by-side with an experienced Systems Engineer, receiving structured onboarding and regular mentoring. You will gain immense exposure to a broad range of enterprise-level technology challenges in an agile environment where no two projects are exactly the same.
Key Responsibilities
- Tool Development & Maintenance: Support the design, development, and enhancement of internal business applications, automations, and workflow systems using the Microsoft Power Platform, Excel, and SharePoint.
- System Troubleshooting: Actively investigate system issues, fix bugs, support internal users, and implement technical enhancements to keep day-to-day operations running smoothly.
- Data & Process Automation: Identify manual processes to automate, improve data quality, accessibility, and reporting, and support seamless integration between internal systems.
- Collaboration & Requirements Gathering: Partner closely with colleagues across the business to understand their operational workflows and translate their requirements into practical, reliable solutions.
- Testing & Documentation: Thoroughly test changes before release, follow structured change control processes, and produce clear technical, process, and user documentation.
Key Skills & Requirements
- Technical Grounding: Good experience with Microsoft Excel (including formulas and structured data) alongside familiarity with Microsoft 365 tools like Teams, Outlook, and SharePoint.
- Low-Code/Logical Aptitude: Some experience with the Microsoft Power Platform, SharePoint, or similar business tools, with the ability to think logically and work with workflows or low-code configuration.
- Core Competencies: Strong problem-solving abilities, exceptional attention to detail, and a genuine willingness to learn new enterprise skills.
- Communication & Structure: Excellent collaborative communication skills and the ability to document work clearly whilst following structured processes.
- Desirables: Ideally, you will have some experience building or supporting Power Apps, Power Automate, or VBA macros, alongside basic programming/scripting exposure (e.g., Python, JavaScript, Power Fx, SQL) or an awareness of testing, version control, Azure services, or data architecture.
You will join a supportive, collaborative environment where your ideas are genuinely encouraged, and your contribution is highly valued. Alongside a company-wide recognition service tied closely to corporate values, you will benefit from regular mentoring to scale your skillset across automation, data engineering, and emerging Microsoft technologies.
