This is a high-impact, customer-facing role acting as a trusted advisor to a major public sector organisation, working closely with senior stakeholders to shape and deliver long-term technology strategy.
Often referred to in the market as an “Account CTO”, this role sits between engineering, architecture, and leadership — focused on understanding the customer’s challenges, identifying pinch points, and building a clear, strategic roadmap that aligns technology with business outcomes.
You’ll work directly with stakeholders including Head of Networks, senior leadership teams, and CIO-level contacts, helping guide decisions across a broad technology portfolio including networks, security, cloud, and collaboration.
This is ideal for someone who has moved beyond pure engineering and wants to operate as a trusted partner, influencing direction rather than just delivering solutions.
