Gartner Consulting supports leaders by turning indispensable insights, advice, and tools into action to achieve mission-critical priorities. As a Managing Partner in Gartner Consulting UK, you will advise the country's most influential organisations on decisions that define their next decade.

THE OPPORTUNITY
As a Managing Partner, you operate at the intersection of strategy, technology, and executive leadership. You are a trusted advisor to CIOs, CEOs, and senior government leaders-helping them navigate disruption, make high-stakes decisions, and turn technology into a driver of growth, resilience, and transformation. You will own and expand a portfolio of Gartner's most important clients, bringing the full force of Gartner's insights, benchmarking, and global expertise to their most mission-critical challenges.

What this role matters in the UK

The UK's enterprises face a distinctive set of pressures: modernising legacy environments without disruption, balancing global digital acceleration with local compliance, turning data, AI, and cloud investments into measurable value, managing ecosystem complexity, and optimising cost while maintaining quality, security, and brand trust. Gartner Consulting helps leaders navigate this complexity with evidence-based decisions, benchmarks, and pragmatic execution.

What you'll do

• Advise at the highest level. Partner with senior executives to define technology strategies that directly enable business outcomes-growth, efficiency, innovation, and risk mitigation.
• Turn insight into execution. Lead hands-on consulting engagements grounded in Gartner insights, helping clients move from what should we do? to how do we make this real?
• Drive measurable value. Help organisations modernise platforms, rationalise applications, migrate to cloud, unlock data and analytics, manage cyber risk, and optimise cost and sourcing.
• Expand account portfolio and drive revenue growth through strategic relationship development and consistently identifying and closing new opportunities.
• Lead exceptional teams. Inspire, coach, and develop high-performing consultants who thrive on solving complex problems.

Where you'll make impact

• Digital Acceleration & Enterprise Transformation
• Cloud Strategy and Operating Models
• Data, Analytics & AI Enablement
• Application and Portfolio Rationalisation
• Cybersecurity, Risk & Resilience
• Sourcing, Ecosystem & Vendor Optimisation
• Contract, Cost & Value Optimisation
• Benchmark-driven decision making

With a particular focus on Telecommunications (Mobile, Fixed, Altnet), High-Tech, and Media (TMT / CMT) organisations, you will help leaders modernise legacy environments while competing in increasingly digital, data-driven markets.

What sets you apart

• A proven background in a well-regarded consulting firm, balancing client delivery and revenue generation.
• Strong foundation in technology problem-solving (architecture, analytics, engineering, or strategy roles).
• Credibility across multiple IT domains, not just one "lane."
• A track record of leading teams with a strong collaboration mindset, influencing executives, and delivering outcomes, not just recommendations.
• Intellectual curiosity and the confidence to adapt Gartner's frameworks to each client's unique situation.
• The stamina and presence to juggle multiple senior-level client priorities without losing focus or quality.
• MBA or advanced degree preferred.

Who thrives at Gartner in this role

• Executive level relationship builders who are comfortable selling insight, not just services.
• Leaders who are coachable, reflective, and hungry to get better every year.
• Consistent over-achievers who combine ambition with humility.
• People energized by complexity, change, and the chance to shape how organisations evolve through technology.
