This is an opportunity to join a high-growth, innovative organization that empowers its team to drive meaningful change for clients across diverse industries.


The ideal candidate will have substantial experience in software development projects, technical acumen in modern platforms and tools, and exceptional communication and stakeholder management capabilities.


At Parser, we take a results-driven approach to working with our clients, which include both tech scale-ups and established Fortune 500 companies.

We work in small, self-managed teams that are highly adaptable and collaborative. You will get to work alongside highly motivated and technically gifted colleagues allowing you to expand your skill set whilst also imparting your knowledge to the broader team.

  • Leverage hands-on experience with REST APIs, backend services, and external SDKs
  • Lead structured problem-solving workshops and facilitate discussions using management consulting frameworks/practices.
  • Assess systems workflows and performance, and identify improvement opportunities.
  • Challenge the status quo by diagnosing inefficiencies and proposing innovative solutions with a strong focus on ROI and scalability.
  • Facilitate effective communication between cross-functional teams, ensuring alignment with program goals.
  • Prepare detailed reports, presentations, and materials for the Program Sponsor and Steer Committee using tools like Miro or Asana for collaborative visualisations and Confluence/Notion for documentation.
  • Summarise findings and recommendations from the technical audit in a clear and impactful manner.
  • Present complex technical findings to non-technical audiences in a concise and accessible way.
  • Oversee technical governance (reports, goals, standards, etc.) and client onboarding/offboarding processes.
  • Manage program timelines and budget.
