Ensure tooling decisions are driven by commercial performance metrics, including build speed, defect rates, and cost per deployment. 4. Technology Partnership Strategy
Lead the identification, negotiation, and management of strategic technology partners that enhance our sales potential, delivery capability, and innovation capacity. Act as a senior commercial representative for C&T in external forums, and hold accountability for joint GTM success and co-sell initiatives. Manage client-side tech relationships where delivery or integration risk impacts revenue or renewal. 5. Global Delivery Model & Capability Development
Scale a commercially viable, globally distributed technical team with an initial UK core. Embed commercial accountability into delivery teams through measurable objectives tied to client and revenue outcomes. Upskill the team in technologies and approaches that enable faster, more profitable delivery. Skills & Expertise

Proven track record in leading technology architecture and delivery with clear commercial outcomes. Demonstrable experience aligning infrastructure and solution design to revenue, cost, and value targets. Strong partner ecosystem management experience, including joint go-to-market planning and performance tracking. Excellent stakeholder management skills, with ability to influence P&L owners and executive leadership. Desirable
Experience in fast-growth consulting, digital transformation, or SaaS/product environments. Exposure to regulated industries where delivery quality and technical assurance impact margin and renewal. Familiarity with commercial levers such as pricing models, IP reuse, and platform monetization. Personal Attributes
Commercially accountable - sees technology as a lever for business performance, not just delivery. Outcome-obsessed, with strong instincts for balancing innovation, speed, and cost. Strong communicator with the ability to simplify complexity and sell the business value of technology. Operates with urgency, discipline, and precision in high-growth, cross-functional environments.
