Sovereign Tech Stack is assembling its founding team. These are ground-floor roles at a UK venture with real commercial and policy significance — building the platform that defines UK technology sovereignty for British businesses.
All roles are currently in active recruitment for the incubation phase. We are looking for people who want to build something that matters, not join something that has already been built.
Current Openings
Chief Executive Officer / Managing Director
Type: Full-time, founding role · Location: UK (remote with London presence) · Equity: Yes
Sovereign Tech Stack needs a CEO to lead the venture from incubation through commercial launch. The platform has a defined strategy, an identified addressable market of 63,000 UK SMEs, and a revenue model built around a certification trust mark and managed stack subscription.
The right candidate is a seasoned UK technology ecosystem operator — comfortable in a standards or certification business, with an existing network across UK technology vendors, professional services firms, and government-adjacent bodies. You will own the commercial strategy, recruit the team, and be the public face of UK technology sovereignty. Founding equity participation is on the table for the right person.
Head of Vendor Certification
Type: Full-time · Location: UK (remote) · Equity: Possible
The Head of Vendor Certification owns the UK sovereignty standard — the criteria, audit process, and compliance framework that underpin the Sovereign Tech Stack trust mark. This role requires deep credibility in UK procurement, technology policy, or standards bodies. You will design the certification programme from scratch, recruit an independent audit panel, and manage ongoing vendor relationships.
Familiarity with UK data-residency regulations, the UK GDPR framework, and government digital procurement guidance is essential. Experience with ISO or similar standards administration is strongly preferred.

Head of Strategic Partnerships
Type: Full-time · Location: UK (remote with travel) · Equity: Possible
The Head of Strategic Partnerships will secure the anchor relationships that make the platform commercially viable — UK telecoms incumbents, banking groups, professional services networks, and government-adjacent bodies. This is a senior B2B relationship role with a long sales cycle and a high-stakes outcome.
You will need an established UK technology or financial services network, experience closing enterprise or institutional partnerships, and the credibility to represent Sovereign Tech Stack in conversations with C-suite and government contacts. The first strategic partner conversation is the 2026 milestone.

Head of SME Sales
Type: Full-time · Location: UK (remote with travel) · Equity: Possible
The Head of SME Sales will own the commercial relationship with the end market — UK professional services SMEs in regulated sectors. This role is responsible for building the inbound pipeline, developing the sales motion, and converting interest into certification subscriptions.
The ideal candidate has a track record selling compliance, risk, or technology products to UK SMEs — particularly in financial services, legal, or consultancy sectors. You will work closely with the CEO and strategic partners to develop channel relationships and referral programmes.
All applications are handled confidentially. We are an equal-opportunity employer committed to building a team that reflects the diversity of British business.
