Who We Are

Mason Advisory is an award‑winning digital and technology consultancy helping organisations deliver real business value through smarter use of technology. Since 2014, we’ve partnered with public and private sector clients to solve complex challenges across digital transformation, cloud, architecture, cyber security, sourcing, and major IT change programmes.

We’re proud of our culture — open, supportive, and genuinely collaborative. We value people as much as expertise, and we’re committed to diversity, inclusion, and positive community impact. As we enter our next phase of growth, we are strengthening our consulting team with experienced Senior IT Sourcing Specialists who want to make a visible impact.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Consultant specialising in Technology Sourcing, you’ll work across the full engagement lifecycle — shaping proposals, defining sourcing strategies, leading procurement processes, running commercial negotiations, and advising clients at senior levels. You’ll join a high‑performing, non‑hierarchical team where your contribution is recognised and your professional development is actively supported.

You’ll enable clients to modernise their technology services, optimise spend, and secure commercial outcomes that support major digital and IT transformation.

• Develop and negotiate service schedules, commercial models, and supplier agreements.
• Define technical and service requirements for technology and shared service categories.
• Identify cost savings, value creation opportunities, and commercial or supplier‑related risks.
• Assess and enhance procurement governance, controls, and policies.
• Produce clear, insight‑led reports, business cases, evaluation summaries, and recommendations.
• Manage day‑to‑day client relationships and oversee multiple workstreams.
• Coach and support junior consultants and contribute to team capability building.
• Support proposals, bids, and wider business development activity.

• Strong understanding of service components and considerations across key technology towers (e.g., infrastructure, cloud, networks, digital services).
• In‑depth knowledge of the procurement lifecycle, contract management, and supplier risk.
• Understanding of sourcing trends, including Agile sourcing and modern procurement methodologies.
• Proven experience working with senior stakeholders such as CFOs, COOs, CPOs, and Commercial Directors.
• Demonstrable track record of delivering cost savings or commercial improvements.
• Experience with UK public sector procurement frameworks and familiarity with UK procurement regulations.
• Ability to obtain UK security clearance.

Qualifications & Skills

• Degree or equivalent experience in business, finance, supply chain, or related field.
• Professional qualifications such as CIPS or MCIPS preferred.
• Strong commercial acumen and financial analysis capability.
