    About Schroders


    • We're a global investment manager. We help institutions, intermediaries and individuals around the world invest money to meet their goals, fulfil their ambitions, and prepare for the future.

    We have around 5,000 people on six continents. And we've been around for over 200 years but keep adapting as society and technology changes. What doesn't change is our commitment to helping our clients, and society, prosper.

    Technology at Schroders

    There's a huge amount of change going on at Schroders. Technology's shaping our business more and more, so there are many opportunities waiting to be grabbed. And because we're a big financial player, we can put hefty backing behind good ideas.

    We're a serious business - we have enormous responsibilities to our clients and shareholders. But just because we're suited and booted, that doesn't make us stuffy; our tech teams are friendlier and more informal than you might expect.

    The base

    We moved into our new HQ in the City of London in 2018. We're close to our clients, in the heart of the UK's financial centre. And we have everything we need to work flexibly.

    The team

    Wealth currently has three technical teams that look after a variety of applications relating to the investment, finance, client services and operations domains.

    We design, create, and maintain solutions across the full lifecycle in collaboration with stakeholders from the business. The teams use agile and DevOps techniques and processes including Scrum, Kanban, and CI/CD with a focus to deliver business value incrementally. Our technical landscape includes off-the-shelf applications and brand-new cloud-based solutions with a clear strategy to move our applications to the cloud over time.
