Full job description

Join an award-winning consultancy where you'll shape digital strategy for the UK's most critical national security programmes and drive meaningful transformation at executive level.

Salary: £123k - 128k per year + benefits

Portfolio Director – National Security

Location: Central London or West Midlands
Salary: £123,000 – £128,000 + Bonus, Car Allowance, Private Healthcare & Excellent Pension

I am partnered with an established, award-winning Consultancy that partners with some of the UK's largest and most complex organisations to deliver critical digital transformation programmes across Defence, Government and other highly regulated sectors.

Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint a Portfolio Director to lead a strategically important National Security portfolio. This is a senior leadership role responsible for shaping digital strategy, overseeing complex technology portfolios and acting as the trusted advisor to executive stakeholders.

This is far more than a traditional Programme Director position. You'll operate at executive level, influencing investment decisions, driving portfolio governance, balancing demand against technology capacity and ensuring strategic transformation initiatives deliver measurable business outcomes.

If you enjoy operating at the intersection of business strategy, technology leadership and enterprise delivery, this is an opportunity to make a significant impact within one of the UK's leading digital consultancies.

The Role:

As Portfolio Director, you will provide strategic leadership across a large and complex Defence portfolio, ensuring technology investment aligns with business priorities while delivering successful transformation outcomes.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Own and lead the end-to-end Defence technology portfolio
  • Act as the senior digital partner to executive business stakeholders, building trusted relationships across the organisation
  • Shape, challenge and prioritise technology demand to maximise business value
  • Balance strategic demand against technology capacity, capability and investment
  • Lead portfolio governance, executive reporting and performance management across multiple programmes
  • Manage portfolio-level risks, dependencies, issues and escalations
  • Influence investment decisions, technology roadmaps and transformation priorities
  • Ensure successful mobilisation and delivery of complex digital and technology programmes
  • Collaborate with delivery, architecture, engineering and commercial teams to enable successful outcomes
  • Provide strategic leadership across large-scale change initiatives within a complex, matrix environment
  • Coach and influence senior stakeholders to continuously improve portfolio maturity and delivery capability

You:

We're looking for an experienced Technology and Portfolio leader who is comfortable operating at executive level and has a proven track record of delivering complex transformation programmes across large organisations.

You are likely to have experience in roles such as:

  • Technology Director
  • IT Director
  • Head of Technology
  • Digital Transformation Director
  • Enterprise Portfolio Lead

You'll bring experience in:

  • Enterprise Portfolio Management
  • Technology and Digital Leadership
  • Executive and Board-level stakeholder management
  • Strategic portfolio governance
  • Demand and capacity management
  • Budget ownership and investment planning
  • Large-scale digital and business transformation
  • Delivering complex technology portfolios across multiple programmes
  • Leading within highly regulated or enterprise environments
  • Building collaborative relationships across business and technology functions

Desirable experience includes:

  • Defence, Ministry of Defence, Justice & Immigration or National Security sector experience
  • Public Sector or Government delivery
  • Security Clearance (SC) or have previously obtained clearance
  • An understanding of public sector governance and delivery frameworks

You'll be a commercially minded, strategic leader who can confidently influence senior stakeholders, navigate ambiguity and provide the leadership required to successfully deliver critical transformation programmes.

Take the next step in your portfolio leadership career and drive transformation programmes that matter for national security.
