About Us
We are a boutique transformation consultancy based in London, known for delivering high-impact results across strategy execution, M&A, and operational improvement. Our clients span industries and geographies, and we are increasingly partnering with CFOs and CIOs to transform their bottom-line and operating models. We combine the rigour of top-tier strategy consulting with the agility and depth of a hands-on transformation partner. As we grow our IT & Digital practice, we are looking for a Senior Manager with deep experience in IT Vendor Consolidation, Sourcing strategy, and Cost optimisation to join our leadership team and lead client engagements in this space.
Role Overview
You will lead high-stakes client programmes focused on rationalising complex vendor landscapes, designing sourcing strategies, and running competitive RFP processes to drive cost and performance improvements. This is a hands-on, client-facing leadership role where you’ll shape sourcing strategies, guide decision-making, and deliver measurable value. The role is based in Central London with 3+ days in the office.
Key Responsibilities
* Partner with CIOs, CTOs, and procurement leaders to define IT sourcing strategy and vendor consolidation opportunities
* Map the current vendor landscape across application support, infrastructure, managed services, etc.
* Develop future-state vendor models aligned with technology and operating model goals
* Lead the end-to-end RFP process: from requirements definition through to evaluation, vendor selection, and negotiation
* Develop cost models, performance scorecards, and selection criteria
* Drive value through renegotiation, rationalisation, and alternative sourcing models (offshoring, multi-vendor, managed service)
* Provide thought leadership on sourcing trends and vendor ecosystem shifts
* Have full accountability for engagement delivery and support internal capability building
* Grow business through existing and new accounts
What We’re Looking For
* 10+ years’ experience in consulting roles focused on IT sourcing, vendor strategy, and IT transformation with a top tier management consulting firm
* Strong project leadership experience in running RFPs, vendor selection, and contract negotiation
* Deep understanding of IT services ecosystems (e.g., infrastructure, cloud, application management, AMS)
* Proven track record in delivering cost savings, performance uplift, or vendor rationalisation outcomes
* Comfortable engaging and advising senior IT stakeholders (CIOs, CTOs, Heads of Procurement)
* Experience managing teams and coaching junior consultants
* Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or relevant advanced degree preferred
