Cloud Transformation and Modernisation Expert

About Methods :

Methods is a £100M+ IT Services Consultancy who has partnered with a range of central government departments and agencies to transform the way the public sector operates in the UK. Established over 30 years ago and UK-based, we apply our skills in transformation, delivery, and collaboration from across the Methods Group, to create end-to-end business and technical solutions that are people‑centred, safe, and designed for the future.

Our human touch sets us apart from other consultancies, system integrators and software houses - with people, technology, and data at the heart of who we are, we believe in creating value and sustainability through everything we do for our clients, staff, communities, and the planet.

We support our clients in the success of their projects while working collaboratively to share skill sets and solve problems. At Methods we have fun while working hard; we are not afraid of making mistakes and learning from them.

Predominantly focused on the public‑sector, Methods is now building a significant private sector client portfolio.

Methods was acquired by the Alten Group in early 2022. Alten is a global engineering firm with approximately 57,000 employees specializing in engineering and IT services.

As a Cloud Transformation and Modernisation Expert, you will play a pivotal role at the intersection of client engagement, strategic delivery, and brand representation. You will shape how Methods communicates its value, supports business growth, and showcases its transformation expertise through pre‑sales activity, thought leadership, and high‑impact marketing content.

You will collaborate closely with Delivery, Sales, and Marketing to translate our work into clear, compelling, and outcome‑focused narratives. This includes designing persuasive bid responses, presentations, and strategic content that resonate with clients and articulate the measurable impact Methods delivers.

You will also drive the evolution of our service offerings, ensuring they remain aligned with changing client priorities, industry best practice, and emerging technologies across IT operations, service management, automation, and digital service excellence.

As the senior technical authority for your domain, you will anticipate market trends, define the future skills required within the discipline, and guide Methods’ strategic direction. You will build and mentor a community of Specialists, recruiting talent and nurturing capability with support from Competency Centre leadership.
