Ingenio is partnering with a leading digital engineering consultancy to hire a Technical Director to join its growing delivery organisation.
This is a senior, client-facing technical leadership role for someone who has built and architected complex software solutions, led multiple engineering teams and can operate comfortably with both developers and C-level clients.
This is not a Programme Director or traditional Delivery Manager role. Strong technical credibility, including practical AI experience, is essential.
What you’ll do:
- Lead the technical direction and oversight of complex digital engineering programmes across multiple teams.
- Work directly with senior clients, understanding the business problem and translating it into the right technical solution, architecture and delivery approach.
- Shape solutions across discovery, pre-sales and delivery, including team structure, timelines and technical approach.
- Oversee technical execution, working closely with Tech Leads and engineering teams to ensure quality and keep delivery on track.
- Identify technical risks early, course-correct where needed and act as a trusted technical advisor to clients.
- Help shape modern solutions across software engineering, cloud, data and AI.
What we need:
- A strong software engineering / technical background with proven experience designing and architecting complex solutions.
- Practical AI experience — exposure to designing, building or integrating AI-enabled solutions. Candidates must be able to demonstrate how they've applied AI in real-world technical environments, not simply discuss it at a strategic level.
- Experience leading multiple engineering teams and large-scale technical programmes — not just a single development team.
- Strong client-facing experience, with the ability to engage credibly with CIOs, CTOs and senior business stakeholders.
- Broad technical expertise across software engineering, architecture, cloud and modern development practices rather than deep specialism in one area.
- The ability to take a business requirement and confidently explain how it should be built, the architecture, team required, timelines and delivery approach.
Consultancy, professional services and pre-sales/discovery experience are all highly valuable, but technical credibility, including demonstrable AI experience, combined with scale and strong client leadership, are the non-negotiables for this hire.
