The opportunity for U 

We’re looking for a Technical Consultant to play a pivotal role in delivering high‑quality, fit‑for‑purpose solutions across one major client engagement or a portfolio of client projects within our UK Technical Consultancy team. 

In this role, you’ll be at the forefront of shaping and delivering technical solutions that integrate GBST’s wealth management platform into our clients’ operating environments. Working with cloud‑based, microservices‑driven technology, you’ll partner closely with clients and internal teams to design, validate, and deliver robust architectures that support business outcomes and long‑term scalability. You’ll act as a trusted technical advisor to our clients, providing leadership across solution design, integration architecture, and delivery, while contributing to the continuous improvement of GBST products and practices. 

This is a challenging and rewarding opportunity for someone who enjoys combining deep technical expertise with client engagement, problem‑solving, and strategic thinking to help drive the future of wealth technology. This is a 12‑month fixed‑term opportunity based in London.

What U will do:

  • Secure stakeholder agreement on solution designs, presenting options and recommendations where appropriate. 
  • Deliver expert consultancy on GBST products, helping clients understand how platform capabilities can best support their business and technical objectives. 
  • Identify gaps between client requirements and existing product capabilities, recommending solutions, enhancements, or architectural approaches. 
  • Promote best practices and contribute to consistent, high‑quality technical delivery across the team.

  • Experience working with modern JavaScript frameworks and single‑page applications (such as React, Ember, Angular or similar). 
  • Solid understanding of cloud‑based SaaS architectures, ideally within AWS environments, including scalability, security, and integration considerations. 
  • Experience with microservices, containerisation, and messaging technologies (e.g. Docker, Kubernetes, RabbitMQ or similar). 
  • Ability to produce clear, high‑quality technical design documentation that can be understood by both clients and internal engineering teams. 
  • Strong problem‑solving and analytical skills, with the ability to diagnose and resolve complex technical issues. 
  • Proven ability to communicate effectively with technical and non‑technical stakeholders, managing expectations and building trusted relationships. 
  • Experience working in client‑facing roles within financial services, wealth management, or similarly complex regulated environments.
