Job Description
Head of Practice - Modern Work & Security
£90,000 to £100,000 basic
Hybrid working with a mix of home, office (Reading) and customer travel
Most senior Microsoft roles still stop at architecture.
This one doesn’t.
This is for the person who can walk into an established Modern Work & Security practice and make it sharper. More commercial. More joined up. More visible in the market. More energised internally.
If you love the Microsoft stack but get your biggest buzz from building teams, shaping propositions, winning bigger deals and giving customers real confidence, keep reading.
Your new role..
You’ll head up a Modern Work & Security practice for an established Microsoft solutions business with a strong reputation, a people-first culture, and real backing behind what they do.
It’s a senior leadership role, reporting to the CEO, with genuine scope to influence the direction of the practice and the wider business.
This is not a billable target role.
You’re there to lead.
That means setting the pace for the team, raising standards across delivery, shaping managed services, building propositions, supporting bids and pre-sales, and helping the business grow. You’ll be the person who can hold your own in a boardroom, then drop into the detail of a solution, service design or customer challenge when needed.
You’ll lead a multi-disciplinary team across consulting, architecture, analysis, development and service. You’ll mentor, challenge and back them. And you’ll help create the momentum too. The clarity. The belief. Because this role needs more than technical credibility. It needs leadership people actually want to follow.
The organisation..
You’d be joining a Microsoft-focused consultancy that works on complex transformation programmes and has built the kind of culture people actually rate highly.
Few roles at this level give you the chance to influence strategy, delivery quality, managed service maturity, go-to-market and team capability all at once. If you’re good, you’ll feel the impact of what you do pretty quickly.
What you’ll bring..
You’ll probably already be leading a Microsoft practice, service line, or high-performing Modern Work function inside a partner or consulting environment.
You’ll know your way around Microsoft 365 properly, not just at headline level. Modern Work, Security, Teams, SharePoint, Copilot, Entra, Defender, collaboration, adoption, architecture, service delivery. The breadth matters here.
And crucially, you’ll know how to turn credibility into traction. With customers. With sales. With internal teams. With the market.
This role will suit you if you enjoy building high-performing teams, shaping strategy, helping win larger engagements, and being the senior voice that brings direction and energy.
It probably won’t suit you if your sweet spot is purely hands-on architecture and you don’t really want the commercial and leadership ownership that comes with running a practice.
What’s in it for you..
£90,000 to £100,000 basic.
Hybrid working with a genuine mix of home, office and customer time, so this is not one for someone wanting to be hidden away at home five days a week.
Private medical, income protection, health cash plan and ongoing training investment all come with it too.
