Head of Technology Specialisms
Location: Edinburgh, Scotland (Hybrid – 3 days onsite, 2 days remote)
This isn’t just another leadership role. It’s an opportunity to build, scale and lead.
This is your opportunity to build and own a high-growth Technology Specialisms business in Scotland, backed by the strength, brand and global reach of Harvey Nash.
We are investing in Scotland. We are ambitious. And we are looking for a leader who wants to create something exceptional.
As Head of Technology Specialisms, you will have a clear mandate: Build a market-leading specialist technology recruitment business. You will inherit an established permanent team with strong foundations, and you will build a high-performing contracts division from the ground up. This is a genuine “build and scale” leadership role with full commercial accountability and strategic influence.
Working closely with the Head of Scotland, you will shape the future of our specialist technology offering, driving collaboration across Enterprise and Candidate-Led models to unlock significant growth opportunities.
The runway is there. The brand is there. The investment is there. What we need is the leader.
What will you be doing?
Build & Scale
- Create a best-in-class Technology Specialisms offering in Scotland
- Establish and grow a high-performing contracts recruitment team
- Expand and strengthen our permanent recruitment capability
- Develop deep vertical expertise across key technology markets
- Lead growth across high-demand technology verticals including: Tech Leadership, Data & Analytics, Cloud & Infrastructure, Cyber Security, Software Engineering, Dev, Architecture and Projects & Change
Drive Commercial Growth
- Introduce bold, ambitious business development strategies
- Win new private sector clients and expand existing relationships
- Open up new contract and permanent revenue streams
- Deliver sustainable revenue and margin growth
- Lead from the front in high-value client engagement
Own the Market
- Position Harvey Nash as the go-to technology recruitment partner in Scotland
This is a chance to build true specialist depth, candidate-led, market-informed, and commercially powerful.
Who You Are…
You’re not just a manager. You’re a builder. A growth driver. A leader who sees opportunity where others see structure.
You bring:
- Proven success leading and scaling recruitment teams (permanent and contract)
- Strong commercial instinct and a track record of delivering revenue growth
- Deep understanding of technology markets and digital transformation
- The ability to inspire, challenge and elevate high-performing teams
- A reputation as a trusted partner to clients
- The ambition to build something bigger than yourself
- You’re energised by growth. Motivated by ownership. And ready to step into a role with genuine influence.
Why This Role Stands Out
✔ A brand-new leadership mandate with real autonomy
✔ The opportunity to build a contracts team from scratch
✔ A strong existing permanent foundation to scale
✔ Backing from a globally recognised brand
✔ Clear potential for significant career progression
✔ The chance to shape the future of technology recruitment in Scotland
This is more than a role.
It’s a platform.
It’s a growth story.
It’s your opportunity to make a lasting impact.
