Some companies just talk about innovation.

Here, we actually do it.

At Skipton, we’ve made endless presentation decks, meetings about meetings, and empty talk a thing of the past.

Because here, every day is innovation day.

That’s because you’ll join a Technology team that’s constantly focused on real challenges. That builds products and solutions which make a genuine difference. And which gets things done for our members - at pace.

Every improvement helps Esme in Headingley open an account. Phil in Chorlton plan a mortgage. Or Chris in Tottenham save for the future. 

And because we’re dead keen on development, it’s a place where you’re encouraged to try out new tech, sharpen your skills, or get hands-on with AI and automation. Which, in case you're wondering, is here to make life easier and unlock time for you to focus on what adds most value. It tackles the boring stuff, while you get on with bigger, more exciting projects.

Curious by nature. Agile by design.

We focus our progress on improvements our members can actually feel — faster feedback, smoother delivery, and changes that land when they’re needed, not months later. We’re not interested in metrics for their own sake; we care about learning quickly, removing friction, and making better decisions based on real-world outcomes.

What’s more, curiosity is one of our four behaviours for a reason - and here in Tech, it’s how we challenge assumptions, experiment responsibly, and keep improving. That mindset is recognised across the organisation, with our teams known for excelling in curiosity-driven ways of working. So if you’re curious about what a truly agile approach looks like, you’ve come to the right place.

We put your name on it (in a good way)

Ownership here isn't something we say in interviews before it quietly disappears on day one. You get genuine accountability for the things you're responsible for, real access to the people making decisions, and direct proximity to the members you're building for. Your work won’t vanish into a void. It’ll show up where it matters - in outcomes, in products, and in people's lives.

We're all on a journey

Each month, we give you two days to focus on your own development. And we support certifications, apprenticeships, and training where it’s relevant, too. It’s a journey for all of us, and we’re working hard to build out a fully structured development programme. The investment is real, the intent is genuine, and most of all, we can’t wait to see where it takes you, your career, and your future.

Find your path

Whether you’re starting out or leading major projects, there are opportunities to grow and try different roles in different teams to find what suits you best.

Here’s where your tech career journey at Skipton could take you…

Change/Transformation

Change here isn’t change for the sake of it. It’s about making things work better for our members and our people. Delivering real value. Our Change Managers, Delivery Leads, Business Analysts, Agile Coaches and more shape ideas and see them through properly. All with clear goals, strong governance, and a focus on doing things right.

Engineering

Engineering is where ideas become real. Our Software Engineers, Quality Engineers, Data Engineers, Principal Engineers, Digital content specialists and others  design, build and run secure, reliable services people depend on every day. No egos. No buzzwords. Just modern practices like on demand environments, release linked observability and shift left testing, plus a shared commitment to getting things right from the start.

IT

When everything works like it should, you often don’t notice IT. That’s kind of the point - but it doesn't mean IT fades into the background. From our Service Desk and 24x7 support teams to Infrastructure and Cloud Operations specialists, we keep our systems running smoothly so colleagues can focus on helping members and one another without missing a beat.

Data Capability

Good decisions start with good data. And good data begins with well-designed platforms, analytics, and information management. Our Data Scientists, Data and Reporting specialists, and Data Governance teams deliver services that are clear, trusted, and useful. And they make sure people across our business have the right insight in the right place at the right time. Every time.

Technology Services

Big decisions need clear thinking. Our Architecture teams, Technology Business Management specialists, and Office of the CIO help shape where our technology goes next. They guide investment and direction across our wider Technology Transformation & Resilience function, to make sure that what we build today will still deliver for our members tomorrow. It’s about doing the right things in the right way.

Who do we look for?

We’re looking for people who want to make a difference. People who take ownership, solve tough problems, and care about the bigger picture. We need natural problem-solvers. People who care about making big things happen - and who are ready to get involved when it matters.

If you enjoy learning, exploring new ideas, and seeing how your work helps real people, this could be the place for you.

Oleh, Associate Data Engineer

At the moment, I’m working on aligning two Complaints-related datasets. This matters because complaints data gives us a clear view of where our customers are struggling most. 

By spotting increases early, whether in a specific area, category, or customer group, we can respond quickly, focus on the right priorities, reduce friction, and ultimately improve the experience for our members.
