Tech Lead

Posted: 2026-09-11

We are a Sports & Entertainment Technology Marketing business. We grow audiences and revenues. We do that by knowing fans best. We work with clients to help them understand and influence what their fans are doing — the way fans spend their money, the events they attend, the channels they respond to, the content they watch and more. And we use the understanding this gives us to help our clients grow.

Our platforms and services are trusted by over 1,000 clients globally, including the English Premier League, Red Bull, UEFA, VISA, the NFL, Nike and Amazon. We are over 1,000 people, based out of 15 offices, delivering work for sports and entertainment businesses of all shapes and sizes all over the world.

As part of our ongoing growth, we are expanding our technology team and seeking an experienced Technical Lead to shape the technology solutions our clients build, and then prove them.

This role is weighted towards the early or discovery phase of client engagements. You will focus your time upstream of the build, in the room with clients defining the problem statement, designing the solution, estimating and building working prototypes that demonstrate value.

Role shall suit someone who has led delivery and knows what a good build looks like from the inside, but now wants to spend their time on the harder question of what should be built.

There will be opportunities to get your hands dirty and work with delivery teams, but you will be our first port of call when a Discovery engagement lands.

What you will actually do

Your time splits roughly three ways.

Most of your time goes on owning the technology solution in discovery. We run discovery engagements we call “getting Roadmap Ready”. Their purpose is to remove the unknowns before a development phase begins. Working alongside Product, Business Analysis, Design and Delivery, you own the technology thread: current and future state, solution architecture, product tear-downs, vendor and technology assessment, development estimation, and proofs of concept where feasibility is in question. You are the person who can say what it will take and what could go wrong, and who has built enough of it to know.

You also provide the technical weight in new opportunities, before there is a contract. Alongside our Product and Delivery Leads, that means solution design and estimation for RFP responses, and technology-focused workshops with client teams. More commonly our opportunities emerge organically (a referral, or an existing client describing a problem they are trying to solve), you are in the room with our senior product and delivery people, working through possible approaches and next steps in real time.
