Fulcrum is our internal technical delivery team, responsible for integrations, reporting, data migrations, infrastructure, and 3rd-line technical delivery for our KxWelcome student housing management platform. Where our Projects team manages customer implementations end-to-end, Fulcrum provides the specialist technical capability that underpins those deliveries, connecting customer systems (SIS, finance, payments, conferencing) to our platform and ensuring the infrastructure runs smoothly.
As we invest heavily in product-market fit and platform modernisation across 2026, the Fulcrum team sits at the intersection of customer delivery and platform evolution. We need a Technical Delivery Lead who is a genuine all-rounder: someone who can manage a small, distributed team while rolling up their sleeves on SQL, integrations, reporting, and infrastructure. This is a player-manager role, you will lead the team and contribute directly to technical delivery.
You will report to the COO and work in close alignment with the Head of Delivery, ensuring Fulcrum’s work is tightly connected to the broader delivery function and the PMF roadmap.
