Hybrid - Chester
£48,000–£52,000 + benefits
Hybrid working 3 days in Chester

---

We’re working with an established, independent digital consultancy specialising in digital transformation, AI and automation, who are looking for an experienced Engagement Architect / Product Owner / Delivery professional to join their team.

This is a hands-on, client-facing role with genuine ownership. You’ll take responsibility for the delivery of digital projects for a major UK client, acting as the key link between the client’s business needs and the engineering team responsible for turning those needs into reality.

This would suit someone who enjoys being close to both the client and the delivery, rather than sitting purely in a project administration or ticket-management role.

You’ll ideally be based in the North West and able to commute to the Chester office three days per week, Monday to Wednesday, with the remainder of your time working remotely.

The role

As Engagement Architect, you’ll own delivery for your client account from initial discovery through to release.

You’ll work directly with client stakeholders to understand their challenges, run discovery and scoping sessions, translate requirements into clear build-ready specifications, coordinate the engineering team and ultimately ensure that what reaches the client meets the agreed quality bar.

You’ll have significant autonomy and will be trusted to make day-to-day decisions around priorities, resourcing, scheduling and delivery.

What you’ll be doing

• Own the end-to-end delivery and output of your client account, from discovery through to release.
• Lead client-facing discovery and scoping workshops, using AI-assisted tools to accelerate synthesis and documentation.
• Translate business requirements and workshop outputs into build-ready tickets, including clear scope, acceptance criteria, dependencies and estimates.
• Own day-to-day resourcing and ticket scheduling for a small engineering team.
• Act as the release gatekeeper, ensuring delivered work meets agreed acceptance criteria and quality standards.
• Track budget and hours burn against retainer or project commitments, identifying and communicating risks early.
• Maintain a live risk and issue log, proactively escalating blockers.
• Run delivery ceremonies including stand-ups, sprint planning, backlog refinement and retrospectives.
• Build a strong, trusted relationship with client stakeholders and act as their primary day-to-day delivery contact.
• Review and interpret AI-generated outputs, prototypes and documentation, assessing them for both technical and business suitability.
• Work closely with engineers to clarify requirements, resolve ambiguity and keep delivery moving.
