Technology Leadership

We drive success for leading tech-enabled and tech-focused businesses.

Recruitment excellence in Technology Leadership

From C-suite to Senior and Executive management, we place Technology Leadership professionals who empower organisations to thrive in a digital world.

Technology Leadership in today’s landscape is more important than ever. Our team focuses on three key tiers: board management, senior leadership, and executive management. From CTOs and CIOs to Heads of Technology Management, every candidate we match is a dedicated technology-focused professional.

Whether you are a tech-enabled business or a tech-focused business, we pair our consultative technical knowledge with comprehensive search and recruitment methods to build industry-leading technology functions.

Why partner with our specialist
Technology Leadership recruiters?

While most recruiters focus broadly on tech-focused roles, we have a specialist team dedicated to building and transforming the technology capabilities of a business.

We are the subject matter experts for this central and often complex function. We partner with investors and technology leaders throughout the technology landscape from early stage start-up, through to IPO and private exits. Our specialist consultants help to create new teams and restructure current ones, enabling businesses to scale into new markets and territories and deepen their offerings.

We work across levels to build long-standing teams for the future.

We know how to communicate across the board, seamlessly working with private equity funds to identify gaps and risks whilst having technical, nuanced conversations with technology experts to build out entire team functions.
 

We build entire teams with exceptional people.

We don’t stop at the top - we partner with CTOs and Heads of Technology/Engineering to build out full teams, across offices and borders where needed. Whether you are a client or a candidate, our deep understanding of this niche ensures long-term success by putting you with the right people.

We have unmatched experience.

With over 11 years in specialist technology recruitment, we are your best advisors for Technology Leadership. We deeply understand the nuances of this sector, keeping pace with changes that are happening faster than ever before. Technology is reshaping industries, improving connectivity across the world and pushing us towards a more sustainable environment; we put your business at the forefront of this change.

We unlock opportunities through strategic market mapping.

Leveraging our deep industry insight, we identify mid-market, tech-enabled businesses lacking centralised IT functions, helping them integrate tech teams for growth. By mapping deployed funds, we anticipate trends, giving you a competitive edge. Whether you're hiring or seeking your next role, our approach keeps you ahead of the curve.
