IT Cost & Value Senior ConsultantHybrid UK-wide with client travelUp to £100k plus bonus We're working with a leading global consulting firm who are continuing to invest heavily into their CIO and CTO advisory capability, particularly across IT performance, cost optimisation and technology value. This is a high-impact role within a well-established but growing Business Technology practice. You'll be helping major enterprise and public sector clients answer some of the toughest questions around technology spend, value realisation and how IT drives measurable business outcomes. If you enjoy working at the intersection of strategy, finance, technology and commercial growth, this is a role where you can shape both client direction and internal capability. What you'll be doing: You'll help shape and deliver IT cost and value engagements, supporting organisations to understand where they're spending, where they should be investing, and how to optimise their technology estate without losing sight of innovation. A big part of the role is bringing structure to complexity - building cost models, analysing total cost of ownership, developing business cases and translating that into clear, strategic recommendations for senior stakeholders. You'll work closely with CIOs, CTOs and finance leaders to align technology investment with wider business goals. Alongside delivery, there is a clear commercial element. You'll be expected to support business development activity, identify opportunities in existing accounts, contribute to bids, proposals and RFPs, and help drive follow-on work. This is not a pure delivery role - the right person will be comfortable in a consulting environment where advisory, relationship-building and sales activity all come together. You'll also help grow the capability itself, contributing to propositions, go-to-market thinking and how the practice positions IT cost, value and performance advisory services to clients. What they're looking for: * Strong experience delivering IT cost optimisation, IT cost transformation, IT performance or technology value engagements * Consultancy experience is essential, either from a consulting firm or a clearly advisory/consulting-led role * Experience supporting business development, sales activity, bids, proposals, RFPs or account growth * Strong understanding of IT financial management, TBM, TCO modelling, business cases and value realisation * Ability to translate complex technology and financial data into clear recommendations * Comfortable working with CIOs, CTOs, finance leaders and senior stakeholders * Ability to manage multiple workstreams and lead teams effectively * Commercial mindset, with the confidence to spot opportunities and help convert them into follow-on work Nice to have: * Background in a top-tier or major consultancy * Experience building propositions or go-to-market offerings * Track record of contributing to revenue growth, ideally around £1m+ * Experience across both private and public sector clients This is one of those roles where you're not just delivering - you're shaping. You'll have the backing of a major brand, access to high-profile clients, and the opportunity to build a capability that's becoming more important as organisations scrutinise technology spend. It's a strong fit for someone who enjoys proper consulting work - solving complex problems, building senior relationships, delivering meaningful client outcomes, and playing a part in winning and shaping future engagements. On top of that, you'll get: * Flexible / hybrid working as standard * A strong focus on wellbeing and work-life balance * Clear investment in personal development and certifications * The chance to work on strategic, board-level problems * A role where delivery, advisory work and commercial growth all come together If this sounds like your kind of role, drop me your CV and I'll get in touch ASAP if suitable.
