WHO WE ARE

CreateFuture is fast becoming the UK’s most recognisable digital consultancy, with years of experience building digital products and services for major organisations whilst putting our people first. We have offices in the centre of Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, and London as well as remote employees located throughout the country.
We are a team of creators - whether that’s code, project plans, go to market strategies, culture initiatives, marketing campaigns, large language models or people policies. And together, with our clients, we create the future. This has seen us collaborate and partner across a multitude of industries and sectors, with the likes of PayPal, Adidas, NatWest, FanDuel and Money Saving Expert to name just a few.
Our reputation as a partner determined to deliver high-quality, robust and thoughtful products has enabled us to scale to over 500 people in the last couple of years, and it is our amazing people - along with the safe, supportive and friendly culture we have built - that makes CreateFuture a great place to work. Don’t just take our word for it though, we have been recognised by Best Workplaces UK multiple years in a row - across a number of categories - and our employee exit rate is astonishingly low.

WHAT WE’LL OFFER YOU:

At CreateFuture, we challenge ourselves to go beyond the obvious and we care deeply about our craft and customers. With us, you’ll have ambitious projects to sink your teeth into and plenty of opportunities to learn and grow. You’ll be part of our safe, supportive and friendly culture - that looks after you - and join our team of genuinely great people.

Our benefits include:

• Total 35 days holiday (we have flexible bank holidays)
• Comprehensive private medical insurance
• Enhanced parental and adoption leave
• Pension - matched up to 5%

As this is a hybrid role, we’re looking for people within a commuting distance of our Leeds office and who are flexible to travel to client sites and CreateFuture UK regional offices. We are very flexible and trust you to manage your own schedule to balance face-to-face time with clients, colleagues and working from home.
We create and reinforce a culture that rewards employees’ impact, not just activity. We trust our employees to work autonomously and promote ownership across all levels.

ABOUT THE ROLE AND TEAM:

As a Tech Lead at CreateFuture, you’ll collaborate closely with clients, understanding their challenges and managing expectations, all while driving tangible business value and impact. In this role, you won’t just be working behind the scenes—you’ll serve as the key project leader, representing CreateFuture in all client interactions.
Your blend of technical expertise and leadership will enable you to lead and support a variety of client projects, from hands-on coding and software architecture to solution design and delivery leadership. You’ll also take on line management responsibilities, overseeing a team of 6-8 technical direct reports.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

• Technical Leadership: Confidently discuss technical designs with clients, aligning solutions with business goals. Lead the design, implementation, and documentation of software solutions, while ensuring coding standards and codebase health.
• Hands-On Development: Contribute to coding on projects as needed, troubleshooting complex issues, and staying updated on emerging technologies to evaluate their relevance to current and future projects.
• Team Leadership & Development: Foster a collaborative, psychologically safe team culture, providing mentorship, coaching, and performance management, while promoting continuous learning and improvement.
• Client Engagement: Understand client needs, solve technical and delivery challenges, communicate business value, and identify new opportunities to benefit both the client and CreateFuture.
• Project Management: Own project execution, ensuring effective ways of working (Scrum, Kanban, etc.), risk management, and accurate work estimation, planning, and communication with stakeholders.
• Culture & Values: Champion a feedback-driven, growth-oriented culture at CreateFuture, creating a supportive environment where team members can thrive and embody company values.
