The Opportunity

A well established and growing IT Value Added Reseller based in Wellingborough is seeking a commercially minded and technically capable Presales Consultant to support its expanding client base.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who understands the VAR sales cycle from discovery and solution design through to proposal and handover, and who enjoys working closely with both clients and vendors to deliver best fit technology solutions.

The role is primarily office based to enable close collaboration with the sales and technical teams, with flexibility for hybrid working where appropriate.

About the Business

The company is a trusted technology partner to SMEs and mid sized organisations, specialising in the supply, design and integration of IT infrastructure, cloud solutions, cyber security, networking and end user computing solutions.

With strong vendor relationships and a consultative sales approach, the business focuses on delivering tailored solutions that align technology investment with business objectives rather than simply supplying products.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support Account Managers and Business Development Managers throughout the sales cycle
  • Lead technical discovery meetings to understand client requirements and existing environments
  • Design and scope solutions across areas including Microsoft 365, Azure, server and storage infrastructure, networking, cyber security, backup and disaster recovery, and end user hardware
  • Liaise with vendors and distributors to build competitive and compliant solutions
  • Produce technical proposals, solution documentation and detailed costings
  • Present solutions to clients, clearly articulating technical value in business terms
  • Ensure a smooth handover to delivery or implementation teams

About You

You will have experience working within a VAR or IT solutions provider environment and understand product sourcing, margin considerations, vendor engagement and project scoping.

Essential experience and skills

  • Experience in a Presales, Solutions Consultant or Technical Consultant role within a VAR or IT reseller
  • Strong understanding of infrastructure, cloud and cyber security solutions
  • Experience building multi vendor solutions and managing distributor relationships
  • Ability to translate technical requirements into clear commercial proposals
  • Confident client facing communication and presentation skills
  • Full UK driving licence, as client visits will be required

Desirable

  • Microsoft or other vendor certifications
  • Experience with quoting tools, CRM systems and distributor portals
  • Knowledge of structured procurement processes

What's on Offer

  • Salary up to £50,000 depending on experience
  • Company Social Events
  • Company Holiday
  • Hybrid working flexibility
  • Career development within a growing VAR business
  • Exposure to leading technology vendors
  • Supportive and collaborative working environment

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
