Questions about these roles
How many lead and principal IT jobs in London are there right now?
We are tracking 193 live vacancies across 147 source domains. The crawler revisits public careers and vacancy pages continuously and roles disappear from this page as soon as they come down, so the count reflects what is genuinely open today.
What do lead and principal IT jobs in London pay?
The median advertised annual salary midpoint is £48,750, based on the 12 of these roles that publish a figure. The middle half of the market runs from £40,375 to £73,750. Day and hourly rates are kept out of this annual-salary benchmark.
Can these roles be done remotely?
42% are advertised as fully remote and 53% as hybrid. Based on 76 roles that state an arrangement; 117 unknowns are excluded.
Are these contract or permanent roles?
28% of roles with a stated basis are contract or fixed-term; unknowns are excluded. A quoted day rate is treated as contract even when the advert does not use the word.
Which sources list the most roles?
The most active source labels right now are Monzo, Horizontaldigital, Theplacetobeagency, Johnathonpasley and Waterstons. Every vacancy links to its public source page — we are an aggregator, not the hiring company.
What other skills do these roles ask for?
Most often Machine Learning, Salesforce, AWS, ServiceNow and Python. That is counted from the live adverts on this page rather than a fixed list, so it tracks what employers are asking for this month.
How much does a IT professional earn in London?
£48,750 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 15% above the £42,500 median across UK IT as a whole. Read it as the midpoint of each advertised annual range rather than an offer: 181 of these adverts name no figure at all, and those are the ones where asking early is worth most.
Can you work from home as a IT professional in London?
72 of the 193 live adverts here offer home working in some form — 32 fully remote and 40 hybrid. Fully remote means the advert states no office requirement; hybrid means it names a split.
Are there entry-level or graduate IT professional jobs in London?
Not right now — every live advert here signals mid-level experience or above. Graduate intakes are seasonal, so this is worth checking again rather than reading as a permanent state of the market.
What job titles are used for this role?
Employers on this page advertise it as Solutions Architect, Technical Project Manager, Technical Product Manager, Cloud Architect and IT Manager. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
