Position: Senior Consultant – Technology Strategy (CIO Advisory)
Location: London
Salary: £68,000
Assignment Timescale: 6 weeks
Result: Completed
Context
The acceleration of global digital maturity has shifted the focus from technology adoption toward the optimisation of IT operating models and technology strategy. As organisations face mounting pressure to demonstrate the tangible business value of their IT spend, there is an increased demand for strategic thinkers who can align complex technical architectures with overarching financial objectives.
Challenge
Our client, a global management consultancy, sought to strengthen its Technology Strategy practice with a Senior Consultant capable of delivering high-stakes CIO advisory and operating model design. The mandate required a rare combination of deep technical strategy expertise and sophisticated financial acumen. Finding individuals who can navigate complex technology cost taxonomies while advising C-suite stakeholders on target state architecture is a significant challenge, as these professionals are typically embedded in long-term programmes at Tier 1 firms.
Solution
Consulting Point leveraged its deep-rooted network within the strategy and technology ecosystem to identify a high-performing strategy consultant from a leading global consultancy. This individual brought a wealth of experience in Technology Cost Optimisation, Target State Architecture, and IT Operating Model Design across a range of sectors.
Outcome
The candidate demonstrated exceptional alignment with the client’s growth strategy and culture, offering them a significant career step. Consulting Point managed the closing process by providing critical market intelligence and ensuring a transparent negotiation. This resulted in an agreeable package for both parties, securing a specialist who significantly bolsters the firm’s capacity to deliver high-quality, digital-led transformation programmes.
