As a senior leader, you will not only shape the technological future of our clients but also actively drive business development and mentor our internal teams.

• Strategic Project Leadership: Oversee end-to-end delivery on complex projects, ensuring the highest possible quality of work while managing client expectations and project profitability.
• C-Level Advisory: Establish and maintain trusted relationships with senior stakeholders and decision-makers, offering expert advice that influences and shapes client strategic decisions.
• AI & Data Transformation: Guide clients on the responsible use of data and integrate AI into enterprise capabilities, making it a natural part of future-proof organizations.
• Business Development: Actively pursue new and existing client opportunities, collaborating with the team to lead and deliver high-quality responses to client briefs, ITTs, and RFPs.
• Team Leadership & Mentorship: Foster an environment of psychological safety, actively mentoring team members and helping them overcome technical obstacles to complete project work.

Requirements

• Extensive Experience: 10+ years of experience in digital, technology, and data strategies or architectures, with a proven ability to move from strategy into hands-on execution.
• Technology Mastery: Knowledge in a broad range of modern technologies, including AI, cloud, APIs, and enterprise systems, alongside a solid understanding of architecture and design principles.
• Commercial Acumen: Ability to translate business goals into clear architectural blueprints and technology recommendations.
• Exceptional Communication: Ability to establish credibility quickly and clearly articulate complex technical subjects to non-technical audiences, both internally and externally.
• Inclusive Leadership: Recognize where there is a lack of diversity or potential risk of biased decision-making, taking action to challenge and improve outcomes to ensure we produce the best work possible.
• Curiosity over Ego: Value collaboration over silos and curiosity over credentials.
• Influence & Advocacy: Speak with authority and conviction, gaining alignment across multiple stakeholders in complex situations while allowing room for other perspectives.
• Drive for Impact: Ensure our work always connects with our clients' bigger-picture strategic goals and initiatives, and manage the environmental impact of our work.

We Offer

• Competitive Salary: £86,000 – £130,000 depending on experience.
