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
