Operating at a CTO adjacent level, you will look across a multi vendor landscape, with strong emphasis on networking and infrastructure technologies, to guide strategic investment and portfolio decisions.

• Own and evolve the technology and solutions roadmap across the business
• Assess and shape a multi vendor portfolio, ensuring balance, relevance and differentiation
• Lead evaluation of existing and emerging technologies, identifying where to invest, grow or exit
• Work closely with the CTO and senior leadership team to align technology strategy with business objectives
• Define internal solution principles, reference architectures and standards
• Act as the internal authority on vendor capabilities, overlap and positioning
• Provide strategic direction to presales, architecture and delivery teams (not deal based support)
• Ensure consistency across networking, security, cloud, collaboration and managed services offerings

• Senior experience within a managed services provider, VAR or systems integrator
• Strong technical background across enterprise networking and infrastructure
• Deep experience with Cisco technologies, alongside exposure to wider vendor ecosystems
• Previous roles such as: Head of Solutions, Senior / Principal Solutions Architect, Presales Director, Practice Lead, Chief Architect (partner side)
• Proven ability to think portfolio wide, beyond individual vendors or products
• Comfortable operating in strategic, ambiguous environments and shaping direction

Desirable

• Experience influencing technology investment and roadmap decisions
• Exposure to cloud platforms, security and collaboration technologies
• Background in shaping or evolving managed service propositions

Why This Role Exists

• To provide a single point of technical direction for the organisation

• To align technology choices with long term business strategy
