They remain accountable from opportunity discovery through delivery, adoption, and value realisation. They are hybrid business technologists, with some bringing stronger domain and business expertise and others offering deeper technical capabilities. Embedded alongside clients' business and technology teams, our FDEs discover and frame the real problem, define the right solution, and maintain accountability throughout the build and value realisation process. An FDE independently owns a customer use case from discovery through production deployment and handoff, coordinating the contributions of the broader delivery team. They partner with customer stakeholders, product teams, and engineering teams to define the problem, design the solution, build production-quality software, and drive measurable adoption. FDEs combine strong technical execution with business and domain understanding. Clients rely on them for both engineering judgment and business-value insight, and they shape, build, and industrialise solutions that deliver measurable outcomes. Working closely with our wider business and technology teams, FDEs architect, design, and deliver solutions that realise measurable outcomes for our clients. Discover and Frame * Lead discovery and problem framing with client stakeholders; separate the real problem from the stated ask. * Define the success measures, value hypothesis, and target outcomes before anything is built. * Shape the solution direction and make the key decisions that follow: capability changes, workflow redesign, platform choices, architecture direction, and where AI belongs in the operating model. Solution and Build * Own the solution architecture and build the critical path hands-on; set the engineering, business, and delivery standard for the workstream. * Deliver rapid prototypes, proofs of value, and production-ready increments that prove value early and de-risk decisions. * Steer AI tooling and teams to produce production-quality output, and verify it before it ships. * Verify generated output against both engineering and business failure classes, including reliability, security, performance, compliance, regulatory requirements, operational feasibility, and business outcomes. * Bring applied AI and generative AI to the solution as a usable product, not a demo, designing and implementing AI-powered workflows with appropriate human oversight. * Own the specification and acceptance criteria the pod and its tooling build against and sign off that what shipped is what was specified. * Drive production readiness- reliability, security, compliance, observability, supportability, and operational sustainability- designed in from the start. * Design solutions that balance technical excellence, business value, user adoption, and regulatory obligations. * Bring expertise in one or more areas such as AI and agentic systems, software engineering, data and platform engineering, business architecture, operating-model transformation, workflow redesign, or digital product delivery. Industrialise and Hand-Off * Turn prototypes into repeatable, reusable assets, playbooks, patterns, and accelerators, and hand off cleanly to delivery or managed services. * Share client learning across the wider FDE capability. * Ensure solutions are documented, supportable, measurable, and ready to scale beyond the initial deployment. Enable and Own * Own the outcome through adoption; lead client demonstrations and pilots, and drive usage with real users. * Orchestrate SMEs and secure the right depth at the right moment; support transition into delivery and managed services. * Advise client managers and directors as a trusted partner across business and technology domains. * Design and enable the operating-model changes the solution requires, including process redesign, capability mapping, workflow transformation, organisation impact, and technology adoption. * Design the adoption and change approach, including stakeholder engagement, training, communications, readiness, and benefit tracking. * Own the value hypothesis and track benefit realisation after go-live. * Make the solution supportable by whoever inherits it through appropriate documentation, observability, runbooks, governance, and operational processes. Shape and Sell * Contribute to pursuits and pre-sales: solution shaping, proof-of-value, and credible business and technical storytelling. * Support opportunity qualification, client workshops, value articulation, and solution demonstrations.
