Head of Practice - Information Security, Consultancy
Hybrid (Midlands) 90,000‑115,000 + Bonus + Benefits
Tech Consultancy – Secure Software & Advisory Services
We’re partnered with a specialist cyber‑led technology business supporting government, defence and critical infrastructure customers. As they expand their consulting capability, we’re hiring a Head of Practice to lead their Consultants and Architects and shape the future of their advisory function.
This is a senior role where you’ll bring technical credibility, leadership presence and consulting expertise—someone the team naturally trusts because you speak from experience, not theory.
The Opportunity
You’ll lead a highly capable group of consultants and architects responsible for secure solution design, advisory engagements, and guiding customers through complex information‑security challenges. You’ll also play a strategic role in evolving the services offering, helping define methodologies, strengthen delivery frameworks, and grow capability across the practice. It’s a smaller, agile organisation, so you’ll work closely with the senior leadership team and will have the freedom to influence direction, standards and ways of working.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Lead, mentor and develop Consultants and Architects across secure design, advisory and customer engagements.
* Act as the credible technical authority for your function, shaping best practice and elevating consulting quality.
* Oversee scoping and solution design, ensuring engagements are delivered with clarity and consistency.
* Partner with Product, Delivery and Sales to align consulting activity with customer requirements and strategic priorities.
* Evolve the services catalogue and consulting frameworks as the organisation grows and its offerings mature.
* Build strong relationships with mission‑focused customers across highly regulated environments.
What You’ll Bring
* Strong background in consulting, ideally cyber, secure information exchange, defence or government‑facing environments.
* Hands‑on experience as a Senior Consultant, Architect, Practice Lead or similar.
* Natural technical credibility; able to win the confidence of highly skilled consultants.
* Experience shaping or maturing consulting practices, methodologies or capabilities.
* Strong stakeholder skills and the ability to influence direction in a high‑assurance setting.
* A collaborative, thoughtful leadership style—this is as much about people as it is about process.
Why This Role?
* A genuine leadership position in a mission‑critical space.
* Freedom to shape the consulting practice and influence strategy.
* Close, direct access to senior decision‑makers, minimal red tape.
* A role with real purpose: supporting organisations that protect national and organisational security.
