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.

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.
