Life in technology
At Heywood, we’re passionate about building software that has a real impact on people's lives. Our software empowers millions of people to secure their financial futures. And we’re committed to delivering nothing but the best.
Complexities? Obstacles? Setbacks? No problem. We follow Agile principles to overcome any customer or industry challenges that come our way. We constantly strive for excellence in our work and encourage our teams to improve their processes using automated testing and continuous integration. It’s dynamic, it’s flexible, and it works.
Continuous learning
Start making a difference from day one. At Heywood, you can take part in a variety of projects, continually learning and developing new skills.
We believe in investing in our teams. That’s why we welcome individuals from diverse backgrounds - from graduates we can mentor and guide to seasoned industry experts who can bring their wealth of knowledge and expertise to our organisation. Together, we can achieve great things.
How we lead
At Heywood, we believe that great leaders put the needs of others first. A leader’s role is to coach and help people develop and perform as highly as possible.
We encourage autonomy in daily tasks, inspiring motivation and engagement. We promote mastery by providing growth opportunities and learning. And we value meaningful work, aligning projects with personal values. This is how Heywood leaders create a successful and fulfilling culture.
Heywood is a great place to work. I couldn’t be happier with the choice I’ve made and the opportunity I was given. There is always lots of pressure around what to expect from a graduate or what a graduate should already know or be able to do. One of the things I love about working here is that I’ve never felt that pressure.
Everyone is so friendly and welcoming and it’s such an inclusive working environment that I feel like I’ve always belonged here. The support and encouragement I’ve received is amazing. It has definitely helped improve my knowledge and grow more confident in my skills.”

Hive has allowed me to really focus on the aspects of my role that I need to improve on, and is a very useful gateway to meet more people within the organisation! I find having a Hive day a month provides the perfect balance of day-to-day work and personal development.”
