We are seeking an exceptional, UK-based Lead Consultancy Director to lead, professionalise and scale Sabio’s Consulting & Advisory business across AI & Automation, Data & Insights, and Operational Customer Experience (CX).

This is a senior, revenue-generating leadership role with full accountability for shaping the proposition, driving sales performance, delivering high-impact client engagements, and building a high-performing consultancy team. The successful candidate will combine strategic vision with hands‑on delivery and commercial drive — operating as both a hunter (new logo acquisition and market expansion) and a farmer (growing and deepening existing client relationships).

This role is critical to Sabio’s next phase of growth. The Lead Consultancy Director will transform Consulting & Advisory into a scalable, profitable, high-impact capability that:

• Differentiates Sabio in the market
• Drives upstream value creation
• Unlocks downstream transformation and managed service opportunities
• Strengthens strategic client relationships

For the right candidate, this is a platform-building opportunity — with scope to shape a national offering and scale into Europe over time.

• Define and codify Sabio’s Consulting & Advisory offering across AI & Automation, Data & Insights and Operational CX.
• Develop structured, repeatable consultancy packages with clear pricing, delivery methodologies and value propositions.
• Professionalise delivery standards, commercial frameworks and consulting methods.
• Establish scalable consulting models aligned to transformation and managed services growth.
• Build a thought leadership profile for Sabio’s advisory capability through events, white papers and industry engagement.

• Own consultancy revenue, margin and growth targets.
• Operate as a visible and credible market-facing leader, driving new business acquisition.
• Partner closely with the CCO, CROs, Sales Teams and Marketing to:
  • Build pipeline and market presence
  • Develop domain-led propositions
  • Create compelling consultancy-led sales narratives
• Provide specialist commercial support in complex sales cycles.
• Lead and/or support the development of high-quality consultancy proposals.
• Surface follow‑on transformation and managed service opportunities through delivery excellence.

• Lead and oversee the delivery of high-quality consulting engagements.
• Ensure consultancy engagements drive measurable business outcomes and strong CSAT scores.
• Build client advocacy and develop case studies to support ongoing sales.
• Maintain quality assurance and delivery governance standards.
• Embed continuous improvement in delivery methods.

• Full P&L accountability for the Consulting & Advisory practice, including:
• Revenue growth and margin management.
• Capacity planning and utilisation.
• Cost management and commercial performance.
• Performance reporting against key metrics.

Core Metrics:

• Sales performance
• Revenue and margin
• Client satisfaction (CSAT)
• Case study production and referenceability
