Head of Practice - Information Security, Consultancy

Hybrid (Midlands) | £90,000-£115,000 + Bonus + Benefits
Tech Consultancy - Secure Software & Advisory Services

We're partnered with a specialist cyber-led technology business supporting government, defence and critical infrastructure customers. As they expand their consulting capability, we're hiring a Head of Practice to lead their Consultants and Architects and shape the future of their advisory function.

This is a senior role where you'll bring technical credibility, leadership presence and consulting expertise, someone the team naturally trusts because you speak from experience, not theory.

The Opportunity

You'll lead a highly capable group of consultants and architects responsible for secure solution design, advisory engagements, and guiding customers through complex information-security challenges.
You'll also play a strategic role in evolving the services offering, helping define methodologies, strengthen delivery frameworks, and grow capability across the practice.

It's a smaller, agile organisation, so you'll work closely with the senior leadership team and will have the freedom to influence direction, standards and ways of working.

What You'll Be Doing

• Lead, mentor and develop Consultants and Architects across secure design, advisory and customer engagements.
• Act as the credible technical authority for your function, shaping best practice and elevating consulting quality.
• Oversee scoping and solution design, ensuring engagements are delivered with clarity and consistency.
• Partner with Product, Delivery and Sales to align consulting activity with customer requirements and strategic priorities.
• Evolve the services catalogue and consulting frameworks as the organisation grows and its offerings mature.
• Build strong relationships with mission-focused customers across highly regulated environments.

What You'll Bring

• Strong background in consulting, ideally cyber, secure information exchange, defence or government-facing environments.
• Hands-on experience as a Senior Consultant, Architect, Practice Lead or similar.
• Natural technical credibility; able to win the confidence of highly skilled consultants.
• Experience shaping or maturing consulting practices, methodologies or capabilities.
• Strong stakeholder skills and the ability to influence direction in a high-assurance setting.
• A collaborative, thoughtful leadership style, this is as much about people as it is about process.

Why This Role?

• A genuine leadership position in a mission-critical space.
• Freedom to shape the consulting practice and influence strategy.
• Close, direct access to senior decision-makers, minimal red tape.
• A role with real purpose: supporting organisations that protect national and organisational security.
