Let’s be clear from the start…
·
This is not a traditional “Architect” role.
·
You won’t be buried in low-level design.
·
You won’t be expected to own solution architecture.
·
And you won’t be sat miles away from delivery drawing diagrams no one uses.
Instead, this is a role for someone who understands how business, product and technology actually come together — and knows how to keep it all moving in the right direction.
What’s the role really about?
This business is scaling, fast.
Multiple teams. Multiple products. Lots happening at once.
Naturally, that creates gaps…
Between teams. Between systems. Between good ideas and what actually gets delivered.
That’s where you come in.
You’ll sit across the landscape and:
Connect the dots between
business goals, product decisions and engineering delivery
Spot risks, gaps and dependencies
before they become problems
Help teams understand how their work impacts the wider platform
Work closely with Tech Leads, BAs, Product and stakeholders to
shape the right approach
Translate complex ideas into something clear, usable and actionable
Think of it as being the
glue across the organisation
— making sure everything joins up properly.
What you’ll be doing
Working across multiple teams and products to keep delivery aligned
Supporting and shaping initiatives that span different systems and domains
Mapping processes, systems and data flows so everyone understands the bigger picture
Facilitating conversations between technical and non-technical stakeholders
Helping define
what
should be built and
why
— not just
how
Keeping things pragmatic — balancing long-term thinking with real delivery
What they’re looking for
This is where it gets interesting.
There’s no “perfect” background — but the strongest candidates tend to come from:
Senior / Lead Technical Business Analyst
Technical BA stepping into a broader, more strategic role
Product or Delivery professionals with strong systems understanding
You’ll likely have:
Experience working in a tech-led environment (SaaS, eCommerce, logistics, platforms)
Strong understanding of how systems, integrations and data flows work
The ability to operate across multiple teams and stakeholders
Confidence to challenge, influence and ask the right questions
A natural ability to simplify complexity and bring clarity
Most importantly…
You’re someone who sees the bigger picture, not just your lane.
What you won’t be doing
Writing low-level technical designs
Acting as a pure Solution Architect
Living in RAID logs, Gantt charts or status reports
This is about impact, alignment and momentum — not process for the sake of it.
Why it’s worth your time
Up to £75k salary + 10% bonus (consistently paid)
10% employer pension contribution
– genuinely strong
35-hour working week
– proper work-life balance
1 full day per month dedicated to your development
(protected, not lip service)
Hybrid working with a collaborative, grown-up environment
A chance to step into a role where you’ll genuinely shape how things are done
Final thought
If you’ve outgrown being “just a BA”
…but don’t want to become a deep technical architect…
This is that sweet spot
