Tech Lead - Award Winning Creative Agency
Perm: £80,000-£90,000
Hybrid: 3 days per week to the London Office
We're working with an award-winning digital experience studio that sits at the heart of a leading creative partnership. This team designs, builds, and evolves digital products and services used by millions - spanning high-traffic platforms, innovative product builds, and emerging AI-driven experiences.
This is a high-impact, hands-on leadership role where you'll balance architecture, delivery, and people leadership. You'll work across multiple concurrent projects, from large site builds and micro-sites to experimental AI initiatives and commercially released products.
You'll lead multidisciplinary developers, working closely with design, UX, product, strategy, and delivery teams - and you'll be a visible technical voice with both internal stakeholders and clients.
What you'll be doing
- Owning technical discovery and defining architecture across web, product, app, and AI-enabled platforms
- Hands-on where needed - reviewing PRs, guiding implementation, and supporting problem-solving
- Overseeing hosting and infrastructure within Azure
- Championing quality, performance and test automation, including end-to-end testing with Playwright
- Translating complex technical considerations into clear, pragmatic guidance for non-technical stakeholders
- Supporting a fast-moving environment where priorities shift and delivery needs to keep pace
What we're looking for
- Strong experience leading technical delivery within a digital agency or consultancy environment
- A solid Back End background in C#/ASP.NET Core, with full-stack awareness
- Experience across both Front End and Back End challenges - reactive frameworks experience welcome
- Deep familiarity with Azure, including CI/CD and Azure DevOps
- Proven ability to lead teams, influence stakeholders and deliver under pressure
- Comfortable juggling multiple projects and "controlled chaos" at pace
Nice to have
- Experience integrating Azure AI Services or OpenAI APIs
- Python exposure, particularly in AI or data-driven contexts
- Low-code/no-code tools (eg Webflow) for rapid prototyping
- Client-facing experience presenting technical roadmaps and trade-offs
If you want real technical influence, high-profile work and the backing of a top-tier creative partnership, this is it.
