IT Cost & Value Senior Consultant Hybrid (UK wide) with client travel. Up to £100k plus bonus. We're working with a leading global consulting firm who are continuing to invest heavily into their CIO & CTO advisory capability, particularly across IT performance, cost optimisation, and technology value. This is a genuinely high-impact role sitting within a well-established but fast-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 actually drives business outcomes. If you enjoy operating at that intersection of strategy, finance, and technology - this is one of those roles where you can properly shape both client direction and internal capability. What you'll be doing You'll play a key role in shaping and delivering IT cost and value engagements, helping organisations understand where they're spending, where they should be spending, and how to optimise their technology estate without losing sight of innovation.

You'll be working closely with CIOs, CTOs, and finance leaders, helping them align technology investment with broader business goals. Alongside delivery, you'll also be instrumental in growing the capability itself. That means contributing to propositions, supporting bids and RFPs, and helping shape how the practice goes to market. There's a strong commercial edge here too - you'll be expected to spot opportunities, build relationships, and help drive follow-on work. What they're looking for • Strong experience delivering IT cost optimisation/transformation engagements, • Deep understanding of IT financial management, TBM, TCO modelling, and business case development, • Experience working in complex consulting environments or large-scale enterprise organisations, • Ability to manage multiple workstreams and lead teams effectively, • Comfortable operating with senior stakeholders (CIO, CTO, Finance), • Background in a top-tier consultancy, • Experience building propositions or go-to-market offerings 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 Modis International Ltd acts as an employment agency for permanent recruitment and an employment business for the supply of temporary workers in the UK.
