The Opportunity

A Lead Technology Consultant role with a leading management consultancy, for someone who started in engineering or solution architecture and now wins and shapes advisory work. This is a sales-led consulting role: you carry a new business development target, open doors and close engagements, then stay close to delivery. Not a farmer, a hunter who can also build.

About Our Client

Our client is a well-established, highly regarded management consultancy with a strong technology and digital advisory practice across the UK. They work with organisations in multiple sectors, including finance, transport, public services, health and life sciences, and consumer and manufacturing, on complex technology-led change. They are scaling their experienced-hires team at pace and bringing in several consultants at this level through 2026. This is growth hiring, supported by a structured, fast-moving assessment process designed to get strong people through quickly.

What You'll Be Doing as a Lead Technology Consultant

• Winning new business: building pipeline, opening opportunities and closing advisory engagements against a personal new business development target
• Shaping solutions: drawing on your engineering and solution architecture background to design credible, sellable approaches to client problems
• Leading client relationships from first conversation through to delivery, acting as a trusted advisor at senior levels
• Selling across sectors, anchored in your dominant go-to-market while flexing into adjacent industries
• Staying close to delivery, balancing the commercial remit with hands-on involvement in large, complex engagements
• Contributing to practice growth, helping build propositions, capability and the wider consulting team

What We're Looking For From The Lead Technology Consultant

• A genuine, current new business development target and a track record of delivering against it (this is non-negotiable)
• A technical foundation earlier in your career: software engineering, application development or solution architecture
• Consulting experience selling technology advisory or transformation services, not pure delivery
• Commercial credibility: you can lead a sales conversation, shape a deal and win the work
• Clarity on your dominant go-to-market and the services you sell, with the flexibility to span sectors
• Experience running large, complex deliveries alongside the commercial remit

Qualifications

• Degree or equivalent professional experience
• Relevant certifications a plus, for example TOGAF, AWS, Azure or other cloud and architecture credentials

Why Join?

• A genuine dual remit: the rare chance to both win and shape advisory work, rather than being boxed into delivery or sales alone
• Competitive package: base to £155,000 by location, plus car allowance, performance-related bonus, strong pension and private healthcare
• Scale and momentum: multiple hires planned, with a clear route to grow inside a recognised consulting brand
• A fast, supported process: an efficient, well-supported interview process, including coaching before final stages
