Managed technology teams
Get developers, data engineers and analysts without recruiting them. Either we run a NexAura team as an extension of yours, or we embed our people inside your organisation and look after their contracts, payroll and HR. In both cases they stay under contract with us, and you can scale up or down as the work changes.
Is this for you?
Hiring technical staff is slow and expensive, and a contractor leaves with everything they learned. A managed team sits between the two.
Three ways to set it up
The people are the same in each model. What changes is who directs their work day to day.
A NexAura team, led by a NexAura manager, working on your backlog as an extension of your own department. You set the priorities and we organise the work, the people and the quality.
Best when you want outcomes delivered and do not want to manage more people yourself.
Our people join your team, attend your stand-ups and take direction from your managers. They remain under contract with NexAura, and we handle their pay, HR, leave and performance.
Best when you have strong technical leadership and need more capacity under it.
After we deliver an AI or BI project, the same team stays on to maintain it, fix issues and add features under a monthly arrangement.
Best when you want something built and looked after, and have no in-house team to hand it to.
Roles we provide
A team can be one data analyst or a full squad. These are the roles we are asked for most often.
People who build and maintain your reporting, data pipelines and analysis.
Engineers who build and maintain applications, automations and AI tools.
People who keep delivery on track and make sure what ships works.
Support roles that sit around a technical team and keep its routines running.
How it works
You decide what matters. We make sure the right people are working on it, and that you can see the progress.
You tell us the outcomes you want and the constraints we work within.
One named person agrees scope, the meeting routine and who to call when something goes wrong.
Each person has a defined role and works alongside your staff.
Regular reviews cover what was done, what is next and anything that needs your decision.
We hand over, carry on, or change the size of the team, whichever you need next.
Who is responsible for what
The people we provide are under contract with NexAura, and a UK-based NexAura executive is accountable for them. That is the difference between this and a recruitment agency or an offshore outsourcer: we do not place someone and step back. The agreement sets out the split before anyone starts.
You decide what gets built and in what order, and you control access to your systems and data.
We recruit, contract, pay and manage the team, and our UK leadership answers for the quality of their work.
We review the arrangement with you regularly and change the team's size or skills as your needs move.
Getting started
There is no long procurement exercise. For a small team, these steps can be covered in a few conversations.
The work, the skills, the hours and how long you expect to need them.
Managed team, embedded talent or build-then-run. We agree responsibilities and pricing in writing.
We propose individuals for each role. You interview them and have the final say.
The team is onboarded to your tools and processes, and regular reviews begin.
As your needs change we add people, reduce the team or hand the work back with full documentation.
Short answers about how managed teams and embedded talent work. Ask us directly.
A recruitment agency finds you a candidate, charges a fee and leaves. With NexAura the people stay under contract with us. We pay them, manage them, cover absence and replace them if needed, and we answer for the quality of their work.
With a managed team, a NexAura lead organises the work and you set the priorities. With embedded talent, our people join your team and take day-to-day direction from your managers, while we handle their contracts, payroll and HR.
NexAura is founded and managed in the UK, and a UK-based executive is accountable for every team. Our engineers and analysts are based in Pakistan and the UK. Working hours are agreed with each client so the team overlaps with your working day, whether you are in the UK, Europe, the Gulf or North America.
Yes. Many arrangements start with a single developer or analyst and grow from there. You can also reduce the team when the work slows down.
You do. Code, reports and documentation produced for you belong to you, and this is set out in the agreement before work starts.
Tell us the roles you are short of and for how long. We will come back with the people we would put forward, how the arrangement would work and what it would cost.
