Director of Networking | £120,000 + Bonus | Hybrid (Gloucester/London)

Large UK MSP | Strategic Leadership | Network Portfolio Ownership

A major UK technology services provider is undergoing a significant reorganisation of its Network & Connectivity function and is now hiring a Director of Networking to lead strategy, delivery, and product direction across its full network services portfolio.

This is a senior leadership role overseeing a multi-disciplinary organisation responsible for network product management, delivery, fulfilment, and technical oversight across complex customer environments. You'll report into UK executive leadership and shape the long-term roadmap for enterprise-grade connectivity services.

The Opportunity

As Director, you will take ownership of the entire Network & Connectivity practice, defining strategy, driving service excellence, leading senior managers, and ensuring services remain competitive, scalable, and aligned with customer needs.

You'll lead a team of ~100 across multiple locations, covering:

  • Network Delivery & Fulfilment
  • Network Product Management
  • Technical oversight of LAN/WAN, WiFi, SD-WAN/SASE, VPN, and Voice services
  • Strategic vendor partnerships (Cisco, Fortinet, etc.)
  • Commercial ownership of revenue, GP and staffing budgets

This is a 60% strategic, 40% operational leadership role, not hands-on engineering, but requires a strong technical grounding and a deep understanding of modern network architectures.

Key Responsibilities

  • Define and lead the strategic roadmap for network and connectivity services
  • Full commercial ownership: revenue, gross margin, headcount cost
  • Lead multi-site teams across delivery, fulfilment, and product
  • Senior escalation point for critical network incidents
  • Shape the network services portfolio, roadmap and go-to-market direction
  • Build strong relationships with vendors and internal/external stakeholders
  • Drive continuous improvement, automation, and service excellence
  • Align customer solutions to group engineering, platforms and capacity plans
  • Represent the organisation in customer meetings, forums and executive discussions

What You'll Bring

  • 7+ years senior leadership across MSP, ISP or Telco environments
  • Background in Network Product, Network Delivery, or Network Operations leadership
  • Strong understanding of LAN/WAN, WiFi, SD-WAN/SASE, Voice and connectivity architectures
  • Proven success leading large multi-disciplinary teams (50–150+)
  • Experience managing P&L, budgets or commercial performance
  • Comfortable operating in high-change, fast-paced environments
  • Excellent stakeholder and customer engagement skills
  • Eligibility for UK security clearance (BPSS as minimum)

Why This Role?

  • Lead a major network organisation through a growth and modernisation period
  • Direct influence over strategy, operations and product direction
  • Opportunity to shape a nationally significant network portfolio
  • Senior-level visibility and autonomy
  • Backed by a large, well-established technology provider with strong customer base

Package & Location

  • £120,000–£130,000 base depending on experience
  • Annual bonus
  • Hybrid: 3 days a week onsite, split between Gloucester and London depending on candidate
  • Full senior leadership benefits package
