Lead Technical Business Architect

Salary:

Location:

Hybrid (2 days a week in Nottingham)

Working week:

35 hours

Plus:

1 day per month fully protected for personal development

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
