Job Description

Are you ready to move from “recommending” strategy to “partnering” for its execution at the highest level? Gartner is looking for a Managing Partner in London who can turn bold ideas into measurable business value. In this role, you aren’t just a consultant; you are a trusted advisor to the hyperscalers and media moguls of 2026.

The scope of this role is massive. One day you might be advising a global broadcaster on their Cloud Sourcing strategy; the next, you are leading a sales pursuit for an AI-driven Operating Model redesign for a semiconductor manufacturer. Because Gartner Consulting sits on top of a mountain of proprietary data and research, you have a “unique set of tools” that other firms simply cannot match. If you have the “Partner-level” experience and the drive to thrive in an environment where the bar is “unapologetically high,” this role offers limitless growth potential in the heart of London’s tech sector.
