• Ensure technical documentation is created and kept up to date throughout.

• Lead a small technical team (2 to 4 people) through a time‑boxed delivery.

• Experience running a discovery phase: stakeholder interviews, prioritisation, and producing a clear findings report.
• Experience leading a small technical team (2 to 4 people) through a delivery‑focused, time‑boxed engagement.
• Comfortable working independently in a consulting or client‑facing context.

• Experience in fintech or payments.
• Experience presenting findings and recommendations directly to a CTO or executive sponsor.
• Experience structuring phased or milestone‑based contracts.

• Relevant degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (advantageous but not mandatory).
