At Sage, Solution Design is a function that includes the two crucial roles of Business Analyst and Product Owner. These roles are at the centre of our design teams that are formed with colleagues from user experience, content, user experience research and architecture.

Ownership of large features or workstream tied to a mission. Clear, accurate, and compliant requirements that enable efficient and high‑quality delivery.

Customer support teams fully onboarded to new deliveries so they can support our customers.
You’ll act as the domain expert, working closely with internal stakeholders to elicit business needs, translate accounting and compliance requirements into actionable product features, and collaborate with engineering to ensure solutions meet customer and regulatory expectations. You’ll analyse and model solution processes, validate product accuracy against accounting principles, and ensure compliance with tax and reporting obligations. It’s a hybrid role – three days per week in our Newcastle office. You’ll work in a cross‑functional environment alongside product managers, UX, developers, QA engineers, and business stakeholders. The team is collaborative, domain‑driven, and customer‑focused, prioritising continuous improvement and iterative delivery. Must‑Have Skills and Experience
