Lead with Trust
Our relationships are underpinned by honesty. We communicate transparently and set realistic expectations to meet delivery milestones. We have each other’s backs and take pride in how we work together and build strong relationships.
Champion Inclusion
Technology should include everybody. From our ‘careers for all’ approach to the solutions we build, we are proud of our high accessibility standards. We respect and treat those around us how we want to be treated, so we can move forward together.

Our team have the right tools and processes to get the job done, and the autonomy to act and drive projects forward. We provide clarity for our customers and the solutions we build enable their business to thrive.

What’s Marra Like?
Life at Marra
At Marra we all share a love of technology. What drives us is our shared belief that technology should be accessible for everyone. Our team is active in the local community and strives to attract greater diversity into tech. Our partnerships include TechUK, TechNExt, Women in Tech North East, Smartworks Newcastle and TechUp Durham.
Our hybrid working practice combines core office hours with work from anywhere days. This creates clarity and structure for the team via our day-to-day operating model, and the freedom to support their priorities outside of their job with Marra. We passionately believe in creating the right environment for collaboration, communication, and connection.
Marra is an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity and we are mindful of the imbalances in our sector. We are proud to be an activist in making a career in tech more accessible to underrepresented groups.

More About Marra
What else do you need to know?
Headquartered in Tyne and Wear, a region with a rich history in innovation and a home for technological revolution, Marra, is a slang word for a mate or friend. It is a much-loved word, used in northern England and gained popularity when it was adopted by the ex-coal mining communities.
Marra has a strong partnership with sister company, Scott Logic. With over 20 years in the industry and a workforce of 500, Scott Logic enables us to rapidly deploy cross-functional teams and offer technology beyond the Power Platform. With seven offices, including London and Edinburgh, they are our reciprocal collaborators, critical friends and mentors. Definitely more than just our Marra!
