Founding Partner

Founding General Manager (Technology Consultancy) – London

Location: London

Salary: £150,000 to £180,000+ (Package & Incentives on top)

Build, lead, and grow a high-impact technology consulting business

We’re working with a high-quality, people-first technology consultancy that is launching its London presence and is looking for a founding General Manager to lead the charge.

This is a rare opportunity for a senior consulting leader to build a London office from the ground up, with full ownership across clients, people, culture, and commercial performance, while being supported by an established leadership team and broader organisation.

The Opportunity:

This role sits at the intersection of delivery leadership, business growth, and people leadership.

You’ll bring credibility from a core discipline (engineering, delivery, architecture, or business analysis) and use that as a foundation to build trusted client relationships, grow a consulting team, and establish a strong market presence.

You’ll operate with significant autonomy, shaping how the London business grows, from first hires to first major clients, while aligning with a wider UK and global strategy.

What You’ll Be Responsible For:

Client & Delivery Leadership

• Remaining close to delivery in your area of expertise, setting the bar for quality
• Owning senior client relationships and acting as a trusted partner
• Ensuring delivery excellence, healthy engagements, and strong governance
• Translating client challenges into pragmatic, high-value solutions

Building the London Team & Culture

• Hiring and leading the initial London consulting team
• Creating clear career paths, development frameworks, and role definitions
• Establishing a workplace culture people want to be part of
• Providing mentorship, support, and visible leadership

Growing the Business

• Owning the London P&L and growth strategy
• Winning new client relationships through networks, events, and market presence
• Expanding existing accounts and shaping long-term partnerships
• Acting as a senior ambassador for the business in the UK market

Commercial & Operational Ownership

• Putting in place sensible governance, delivery rhythm, and commercial discipline
• Overseeing contracts, renewals, forecasting, and operational processes
• Balancing autonomy with alignment to the wider organisation
• Contributing to broader company strategy while executing locally

What We’re Looking For:

Experience:

• 10+ years in technology consulting or a closely related field
• Proven experience building or scaling a practice, team, or regional business
• Demonstrable success winning new clients and growing revenue
• Strong people leadership and hiring experience
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and building structure as you scale
• Gravitas with senior stakeholders and C-suite clients
• Deep understanding of the London / UK consulting market

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Founding leadership role with real autonomy
• Chance to shape culture, standards, and growth from day one
• Backed by an established consultancy with strong values
• Opportunity to build something meaningful, not just manage it
