Managing Director, UK&I

Work where work matters.

Elevate your career at Qodea, where innovation isn't just a buzzword, it's in our DNA.

We are a global technology group built for what's next, offering high calibre professionals the platform for high stakes work, the kind of work that defines an entire career. When you join us, you're not just taking on projects, you're solving problems that don't even have answers yet.

You will join the exclusive roster of talent that global leaders, including Google, Snap, Diageo, PayPal, and Jaguar Land Rover call when deadlines seem impossible, when others have already tried and failed, and when the solution absolutely has to work.



Forget routine consultancy. You will operate where technology, design, and human behaviour meet to deliver tangible outcomes, fast. This is work that leaves a mark, work you’ll be proud to tell your friends about.



Qodea is built for what’s next. An environment where your skills will evolve at the frontier of innovation and AI, ensuring continuous growth and development.



We are looking for a Managing Director, UK to lead, scale, and run our entire UK operation. Reporting directly to the Chief Revenue Officer, this pivotal role holds full P&L responsibility and is accountable for translating our global strategy into high-impact, tangible outcomes for our UK clients and teams. 

We look for people who embody:

Innovation to solve the hardest problems.

‍Accountability for every result.

‍Integrity always.

About The Role

This role will be responsible for the strategic direction and operational execution of the entire UK business. Core responsibilities include:

• Taking full ownership of the UK P&L, developing and executing a strategic plan to achieve ambitious revenue and profitability targets.
• Leading, mentoring, and inspiring the UK leadership team, fostering a culture of innovation, accountability, and integrity.

This role is designed for impact, and we believe our best work happens when we connect.
