Who We Are
We’re here to build a network the UK can count on – one that connects people, places and potential. Because no matter where you live, what your background is, or how you get online – we think everyone deserves the same chance to stay connected, and with VodafoneThree, that future’s being built – today.
We’re creating more than the UK’s best network. We’re helping close the digital divide, empower communities and drive meaningful progress.
We believe that everyone should feel they belong. Whoever you are and whatever your story, there’s space for you here. We’re building a workplace where different perspectives are welcomed, voices are heard, and everyone feels safe to show up as themselves.
You’ll join a team that genuinely cares – about each other, about our customers, and about the future we’re building. From day one, you’ll be welcomed, valued and encouraged to bring your whole self to work.

Be part of our Business UK function, a team that are revolutionising how customers use technology and connectivity. With our extensive range of products and services, we help all kinds of organisations – from small, local businesses to multi-national corporations – unlocking the potential of new technologies, including 5G, AI and the Internet of Things (IoT).
What you’ll do
In this senior customer facing role you will be responsible for engaging across a broad range of contact points within a customer organisation and determine the technology solution required to provide market-leading service to that customer.
Working with global clients who are UK-centric as part of the Pre-Sales Solution Design organisation in Vodafone UK, you will typically own opportunities worth up to £100M TCV. The nature, criticality and scale of some of these opportunities will allow you to influence and ‘change the way Britain works’.
You will use your knowledge and experience of systems integration to lead the largest and most transformative customer opportunities in Vodafone, supported by a team of subject matter experts who you will lead to success. Your experience of working with senior customer stakeholders in shaping business outcome focused projects will be a significant benefit in this role.
You will support both private sector and public sector clients, so your experience and understanding of procurement frameworks and processes associated with both will be beneficial. You will respond to requests for new technology-derived solutions from the customer but will also be accountable for demand generation activities pro-actively creating new opportunities to sell Vodafone solutions alongside our client sales teams.
As a senior role in the Vodafone Business Pre-Sales function, the Principal Consultant is viewed as an aspirational position for our colleagues. Successful candidates will benefit from wide organisational interaction and visibility to senior stakeholders across Vodafone Business and will represent Pre-Sales interests in a number of areas.
