Morela is proud to be supporting a private, entrepreneurial family-owned real estate group with a multi-billion-pound property portfolio and a private credit book. Long established, cash generative, and quietly one of the larger privately held property businesses in the country. Not a name you will see on job boards, because they have never needed to advertise. And, remarkably, no data platform. Property management, asset management and accounting all sit in separate systems that do not talk to each other, which means nobody in the business has a single, trusted view of what it owns. They could have bought something off the shelf. They could have handed it to a consultancy. Instead, they have decided to build it properly, in-house, and this is the person who builds it. This is a blank page. You choose the stack. You design the model. You decide what gets built and what gets bought. There is no legacy platform to inherit and no architect sitting above you telling you how it is done. Because the business is family-owned, it actually moves: no steering committee, no six-week approval cycle, no business case to defend three times before you write a line of code. You will sit alongside the principals and the operating teams, so what you build goes live and gets used that week. Get the foundation right and the question that follows is a genuinely interesting one: whether the tooling you have built internally becomes a product in its own right. YOUR ROLE Set the direction. Identify and translate the organisation's highest-value problems into a technical roadmap, balancing a robust platform architecture against rapid delivery. Build the foundation. Design the data model that operates as a single source of truth, and the pipelines that store and reconcile properties, entities, leases, tenants, projects, invoices, cash flows, valuations and documents across multiple sources. Connect the estate. Build integrations with third-party vendors across APIs, webhooks, direct database access and scheduled ingestion. Kill the manual work. Eliminate repetitive manual work across internal workflows: data collection, validation, approvals, reconciliations, reminders, document generation and reporting. Ship what people use. Deliver dashboards, reports, alerts and internal applications that principals and operating teams can trust and actually use. Put AI to work properly. Build LLM pipelines for extraction, classification, retrieval and workflow support, with evaluations, human-in-the-loop oversight and auditability, so it is explainable rather than a black box. Set the bar. Set the standards for security, testing, deployment, monitoring and documentation, manage selected vendors, build the engineering culture, and mentor the junior data engineer. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR A strong record of building and operating reliable pipelines, integrations, data models or platforms that serve real users and business-critical decisions. Strong programming fundamentals in Python, TypeScript and SQL at expert working level, covering testing, performance and maintainability, with the judgement to review others' code and hold a high-quality bar. Confidence building robust REST APIs, working with relational databases such as PostgreSQL, modelling data, running ETL/ELT pipelines, and making pragmatic build-versus-buy calls. Experience deploying production systems in AWS, Azure or GCP, accounting for monitoring, secrets management, access control, backups and disaster recovery. Experience with production LLM pipelines: context engineering, evaluation, retrieval, tool use and guardrails. Experience taking a platform from prototype to production or working in an early-stage environment with a rapidly evolving product. Mature judgement handling financially sensitive, personal and commercially confidential information in a regulated industry. The ability to set direction, mentor a junior colleague and introduce engineering discipline while staying practical, fast and close to end users. Curiosity about how internal tools can be abstracted and generalised into a product. HELPFUL, BUT NOT ESSENTIAL Proptech, fintech, accounting technology, asset management, construction, private investment operations or another data-intensive regulated environment. Modern data warehouses, transformation and orchestration tooling, business intelligence platforms and internal web applications. Document processing, OCR, search and retrieval systems, workflow engines or human-in-the-loop review tools. UK data protection, information security and operational resilience principles. WHY THIS ONE IS WORTH A CONVERSATION Scope most senior engineers never get. The platform is yours to define, not someone else's to maintain. Direct access to the people who decide, without the layers that slow good engineering down. Real AI work with real constraints, where auditability and evaluation matter as much as the model. The stability of a long-established, cash-generative business, with the pace and the blank page of an early-stage one. THE PROCESS Morela is supporting this search and managing the process end to end. If the brief resonates, get in touch for a confidential conversation before you commit to anything; the client is named only once you are happy to be represented. Appointment will be subject to appropriate references, background checks and a confidentiality agreement. We welcome applicants from different backgrounds whose skills and evidence meet the requirements, and reasonable adjustments are available throughout the process.

About the Company At IMSERV, we're proud to be one of the UK's leading energy data and metering specialists. We deliver award-winning services to customers across the country, providing specialist metering technology for electricity, gas and water, alongside highly accurate energy data collection services. About the Role The purpose of the role is to work across IMSERV's Customer Experience, Data and Intelligence, and Commercial departments, translating business challenges, customer needs and operational processes into clear and actionable requirements that teams can confidently build and deliver against. The role will also support commercial bids and propositions where required, helping to develop and position IMSERV's services for new and existing clients and prospects. A key part of the role will be working closely with operational, commercial and customer-facing teams to understand their requirements, identify dependencies and recognise where changes within one department may have an impact across other areas of the business, ensuring a joined-up approach to delivery and supporting effective business outcomes. Responsibilities Work with Product Director to understand and translate market needs into detailed product requirements, engaging IT, operations, commercial and customer-facing teams to draw out and challenge business processes to ensure the target outcomes can be delivered effectively, including structured stakeholder and customer interviews as needed. Turn agreed needs into user stories, acceptance criteria and process definitions developers can build from without guessing, with particular precision on entitlement and data rules. Write and maintain the platform's business-editable decision tables with operations as any rules engines comes online: versioned, tested rules that operations can change without a code release. Document how key business and customer processes work today, design future states with stakeholders and quantify the difference. Use data to size problems, validate assumptions and confirm whether shipped changes delivered the intended outcome. Support the product team and technical architect in discovery: customer interviews, workshops and synthesis of what came back. Track requirements through delivery, manage scope conversations honestly and keep stakeholders informed. What you'll need Knowledge & Qualifications Solid experience as a Business Analyst on digital products or platforms, ideally in agile, squad-based teams. Working data literacy: confident with SQL or analytics tooling for sizing and validation, or able to get there quickly. Energy or utilities experience desirable: metering, settlement, half-hourly data, MHHS or billing. Exposure to data products or APIs, and familiarity with the Microsoft 365/Azure environment, Salesforce and Microsoft Fabric desirable. BCS or similar Business Analysis qualification desirable. Skills Strong elicitation and facilitation skills: comfortable running workshops with senior stakeholders and pushing back on vague asks. Requirements writing that engineers actually use: user stories, acceptance criteria and process notation such as BPMN. Practical use of AI tools in analysis and documentation, and able to write requirements for AI-powered features, including defining expected behaviour and acceptance criteria where outputs are not deterministic. The judgement to serve several different needs at once: managing time, saying no well and escalating early. Benefits 28 days' holiday plus Bank Holidays Buy & sell annual leave scheme Up to a 10% bonus Enhanced salary sacrifice pension Life assurance (up to 6x salary ) Simply Health plan (with upgrade options) Car salary sacrifice scheme ( Length of service and T&Cs apply) Equal Opportunity Statement At IMSERV, we're committed to building a team where everyone feels valued, respected and able to do their best work. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and communities. A diverse team brings fresh perspectives, strengthens collaboration and helps us deliver the best possible service to our customers. If you're interested in the role but don't meet every single requirement, we'd still encourage you to apply. (Please note that we reserve the right to close this position before the expiry date.)

About the Role The purpose of the role is to work across IMSERV's Customer Experience, Data and Intelligence, and Commercial departments, translating business challenges, customer needs and operational processes into clear and actionable requirements that teams can confidently build and deliver against. The role will also support commercial bids and propositions where required, helping to develop and position IMSERV's services for new and existing clients and prospects.

Turn agreed needs into user stories, acceptance criteria and process definitions developers can build from without guessing, with particular precision on entitlement and data rules. Write and maintain the platform's business-editable decision tables with operations as any rules engines comes online: versioned, tested rules that operations can change without a code release. Document how key business and customer processes work today, design future states with stakeholders and quantify the difference.

Exposure to data products or APIs, and familiarity with the Microsoft 365/Azure environment, Salesforce and Microsoft Fabric desirable. BCS or similar Business Analysis qualification desirable. Skills Strong elicitation and facilitation skills: comfortable running workshops with senior stakeholders and pushing back on vague asks. Requirements writing that engineers actually use: user stories, acceptance criteria and process notation such as BPMN. Practical use of AI tools in analysis and documentation, and able to write requirements for AI-powered features, including defining expected behaviour and acceptance criteria where outputs are not deterministic. The judgement to serve several different needs at once: managing time, saying no well and escalating early.
