Job description

Principal Technology Consultant / Technical Advisor Hybrid WFH to £130k

Opportunity to progress your career at a growing UK based software and technology consultancy.

As a Principal Technology Consultant you'll own the senior technical relationship across a portfolio of strategic accounts, acting as a trusted advisor to CIOs, CTOs and IT leaders. Bridging commercial account management and technical strategy, you'll shape technology roadmaps, align solutions to business outcomes and provide technical leadership across pre-sales, delivery and managed services.

This is a client facing leadership role rather than a hands-on engineering position. You'll set technical direction and work closely with architects, delivery leads and engineering teams to execute.

You'll build trusted relationships with senior technology stakeholders, translating business objectives into strategies spanning cloud, data, AI and applications. Working with sales and account leadership, you'll identify growth opportunities, provide technical input into bids and proposals, and support renewals and expansions.

You'll act as a senior escalation point for technical risk, reviewing architecture and solution design to ensure alignment with client strategy and technical standards. You'll also lead technology roadmap and innovation discussions, advise clients on emerging Microsoft, Google Cloud and AI capabilities and represent their technical interests internally.

The role also provides opportunities to contribute thought leadership, industry events and marketing initiatives, strengthening the organisation's profile and demonstrating its technology expertise.

Location / WFH:

You can work from home most of the time, meeting up with colleagues at the London office or client sites, typically 1-2 days a week, although this can vary.

About you:

• You have strong technical leadership and advisory experience within a consultancy or MSP
• You have a technical background and can speak credibly to CIOs / CTOs on cloud, data and AI adoption
• You have experience of creating technical product roadmaps and writing strategy documentation
• You understand and can manage the impact of change from both a technical and people perspective
• You are experienced in building trusted relationships and translating technical capabilities into commercial outcomes
• You have experience of supporting or shaping bids / proposals and are comfortable in a pre-sales adjacent capacity
• You're comfortable delivering presentations and speaking at events as and when required
• You hold SC Clearance (or able to achieve it i.e. UK citizen for 5 years plus)

What's in it for you:

• Salary to £130k
• Pension
