About Scrumconnect Consulting

Scrumconnect Consulting is a UK national, award-winning SME digital consultancy with over 300 consultants across the UK. We partner with public sector organisations to design and deliver impactful, user-centred digital services that improve millions of lives.

We place equal importance on our people, culture, and work–life balance as we do on delivering high-quality services. Collaborative, entrepreneurial, and problem-solving by nature, we build high-performing teams that drive sustainable digital transformation.

An AI-enabled transcription platform has been deployed at scale to support the automated transcription and processing of judicial audio recordings. The service is now transitioning into its next phase of operational maturity.

The current priority is to stabilise the live service, strengthen engineering resilience, and expand capabilities including transcription from uploaded audio files, anonymisation/redaction, and AI-powered summarisation.

The platform also serves as a testbed for developing scalable AI engineering practices, enabling reusable delivery patterns for future AI-enabled products and services.

To support this next phase of delivery, the team is seeking an experienced Technology Consultant Engineer for an initial six-month engagement.
