A fast-growing, specialist digital transformation consultancy focused entirely on the UK public sector. They partner with central government departments and public bodies to modernise legacy systems and redesign citizen-facing services.

They have a strong delivery reputation across high-profile government programmes, established framework routes to market, and an ambitious growth plan backed by leadership.

The Role

  • Predominantly strategic new business, opening and closing net new accounts across central government and the wider public sector
  • Leading complex, high-value opportunities from early engagement and shaping through to bid and contract award
  • Building senior relationships with digital leaders, service owners, programme directors and commercial teams
  • Working closely with delivery, consulting and bid teams to shape compelling, outcome-led propositions
  • Genuine influence on go-to-market strategy and sector focus as the business scales

Requirements

  • Comfortable engaging at Director and Deputy Director level across multi-stakeholder buying groups
  • A natural hunter with the strategic mindset to build and land large, multi-year programmes
  • Existing central government network highly advantageous

Why This One

  • Top-tier base salary with uncapped OTE, so you are rewarded for landing big deals
  • Specialist public sector focus with real credibility in the market, not a generalist consultancy dabbling in government
  • Senior, visible role with direct access to the leadership team and input into strategy
  • Growth-stage business, so your contribution directly shapes the company’s trajectory
