Head of Development

About R77 Global

R77 Global is a talent advisory partner connecting high-calibre professionals with ambitious organisations across iGaming, fintech, payments, financial services, technology and Web3. We represent opportunities with discretion and give candidates a clear, honest view of the role, its expectations and the environment they would be joining.

The opportunity

R77 Global is supporting our client in appointing a hands-on Head of Development to lead the technical direction, reliability and continued evolution of a complex financial technology platform.

The platform supports banking, payments, investment services, order management and in-house matching capabilities, alongside modern ML and LLM infrastructure. This is a senior technical leadership role for someone who is comfortable working close to money movement, transaction integrity and production systems where correctness is essential.

You will combine engineering leadership with hands-on systems thinking: guiding the team, shaping technical standards, challenging architecture and taking ownership when production behaviour does not match expectations. This is not a front-end leadership post or a ticket-management role.

The role

The Head of Development will have meaningful influence over engineering standards, platform resilience, technical risk and the future growth of the development function. The successful person will be expected to understand the running system, make evidence-led decisions and ensure changes protect the integrity of the wider financial platform.
