Job Description:

This role exists to bring control, visibility, and accountability to a large, globally distributed technology estate where a Tier 1 managed services partner (Cognizant) plays a central role in delivery. You will sit above service delivery, owning how it is governed, measured, and optimised. Your mission is to drive performance, challenge suppliers, and optimise cost across a £100m+ technology spend. This is a high-leverage leadership role focused on control, governance, and commercial performance.

Job Responsibility:

  • Own the strategic relationship with Cognizant and other Tier 1 partners. Define and enforce robust SLA/KPI frameworks, drive accountability, and lead performance improvement
  • Bring visibility to a complex cost base. Identify inefficiencies, reduce leakage, and drive ongoing optimisation across infrastructure, cloud, telecoms, and licencing
  • Establish global standards for service measurement, reporting, and continuous improvement. Build executive-level dashboards and performance insights
  • Align service provision with business demand. Ensure the right capacity, at the right cost, at the right time
  • Lead and develop a small, high-impact team responsible for governance, reporting, and vendor management

Requirements:

  • Direct accountability for Tier 1 MSP/vendor performance (e.g. Cognizant, Accenture, TCS, Infosys, Wipro)
  • Experience challenging suppliers commercially and contractually, not just managing relationships
  • Ownership or visibility of large-scale IT spend (£50m+ minimum, ideally £100m+)
  • A track record of driving cost optimisation, financial transparency, and performance improvement
  • Experience from complex, enterprise-scale environments where Tier 1 MSPs are embedded across multiple service towers
  • Strong understanding of service governance frameworks (SLAs, KPIs, OLAs)
  • Demonstrated success in cost optimisation/FinOps/financial visibility
  • Experience operating above delivery, influencing rather than executing
