Strategy Tech Director

Join us! We’re always happy to hear from people who are eager to learn and grow, and share our values. Read more about the role and apply.

About the role: As a Director in our Strategy & Transformation team, you'll be a trusted partner to the CIOs and CTOs of some of the world's most ambitious organisations. You'll bring a sharp technical lens to digital strategy, enterprise architecture, and large-scale transformation, balancing high-level strategic oversight with hands-on architectural design. You’ll work across industries, bringing structure and clarity to some of the most complex challenges our clients face and you'll do it as part of a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team that genuinely cares about the quality and impact of its work. At this level, you'll also play a meaningful role in shaping Futurice’s own growth, contributing to business development, building long-term client relationships, and investing in the people around you.

Skills & Requirements:

• Significant experience in digital, technology, or data strategy – You've worked at the intersection of business and technology for a meaningful stretch of your career (10+ years), and you've done it in more than one context.
• Hands-on technical fluency – You're comfortable across modern technologies: AI, cloud, APIs, enterprise architecture — and you can move between high-level strategy and detailed design without losing the thread.
• Commercial clarity – You can translate a business problem into an architectural direction, and you understand what makes a recommendation land with a CFO as well as a CTO.
• Communication that builds trust – You can make complex ideas feel simple without losing their integrity. You're as comfortable in a client boardroom as you are in a working session with an engineering team.
• Collaborative influence – You bring people with you. You know how to build alignment across competing stakeholders, and you do it by listening as much as by speaking.
• Commitment to inclusive leadership – You notice when a room isn't representative, when a decision is being made without enough perspectives, or when someone isn't being heard — and you do something about it.
• Drive for meaningful impact – You connect your work to your clients' bigger picture. You care about doing things well and doing them responsibly, including thinking about the environmental and social impact of the transformation work you lead.

Nice to have:

• Experience working within or closely with a consultancy, agency, or professional services environment or you have a background in operating model design, digital portfolio management, or enterprise-scale AI strategy.

What you'll do:

• Architect target states – Design modern technology architectures and enterprise capabilities that directly support our clients' strategic business goals.
• Lead complex projects – Oversee end-to-end delivery on transformation programmes, ensuring quality, managing client expectations, and keeping an eye on project health.
• Advise at C-level – Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders, offering guidance that genuinely shapes how clients think about their technology futures.
• Guide AI & data transformation – Help clients adopt data and AI responsibly, integrating it into enterprise capabilities in ways that are practical, ethical, and built to last.
• Grow the business – Identify and pursue new opportunities, contribute to proposals, and help shape Futurice's presence in the market.
• Develop the people around you – Create the conditions for your team to do their best work: removing blockers, sharing knowledge, and championing a culture where everyone's voice counts.

Next steps — who you’ll meet and for what:

• Recruiter screen (30m) – with someone from our People Team
• Case study exercise (60m) – with 2 team members from our Strategy and Tech team
• Ways of working & values interview (90m) – with a cross-functional duo.

What Futurice Offers You:

• A transparent salary model based on your skills, responsibilities, and impact. The salary band for this role is £86,000 – £115,000 depending on experience.
• A supportive, values-driven team culture where individuality is celebrated.
• A personal learning budget (£1200/year), mentoring, and knowledge-sharing sessions.
• Flexible, remote-first working with colleagues across the UK and EU.
• Private health insurance (WPA), pension contributions (6%+), and wellbeing support (£50/month via Juno).
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays + your birthday off — increasing by 1 day per year after 3 years’ service (capped at 30).
• A tiered parental leave policy (16 weeks maternity, 4 weeks partner, full pay depending on tenure).
• EV salary sacrifice scheme (depending on tenure).

What's it like to work here:

Ever since Futurice was founded, we’ve focused on creating a workplace people genuinely enjoy, Mondays included. We’ve built a welcoming culture where trust, kindness, and well-being matter as much as great work. Our atmosphere is open and warm, whether you’re in the office or working remotely. You’ll quickly feel part of the community where coffee chats, virtual fikas, or after-work hangouts happen naturally. Because our culture is shaped by all of us, every day, you’ll have an opportunity to influence how we work, connect, and evolve as a community. Across countries, teams, and time zones, everyone brings their own character, helping shape how we work, connect, and evolve together. At Futurice, new joiners aren’t expected to fit into a mold. Come as you are, whatever your background. We believe in the power of different perspectives, and diversity is a key part of our success at delivering customer value when they trust us with some of their most challenging and inspiring challenges.
