Tech Executive Search in Leeds
Nigel Wright Group helps Northern mid-market businesses hire the technology talent that powers their next stage of growth. We runs tech executive search across Leeds and the wider North. Ambitious companies come to us when a key appointment must be right first time. Our Go Further mindset drives every assignment. Curiosity guides how we work, so we question easy assumptions and look for a better route to the right hire.
Leeds has become one of the UK's leading technology cities. Digital, data, and software firms are scaling fast here. Behind that growth sits a clear truth: one senior hire can decide whether a business scales cleanly or stalls. Getting leadership right matters, and we help you get it right.
How our tech search works
Technology hiring rewards precision. As a technology recruitment agency built around the mid-market, we ground every assignment in evidence. Our search process starts with the commercial context behind each role. We map the market and benchmark against real comparators: a data driven approach then guides how we assess fit. Sourcing candidates who suit the brief and the culture takes patience and rigour. This gives senior hiring stakeholders confidence in every shortlist. Each person we present is highly skilled and ready to add value.
Deep sector knowledge sets our work apart. Our consultants track the firms, the funding, and the skills that shape technology hiring in the North. They speak the language of engineering, data, and product teams. Boards value that fluency during a high-stakes appointment. It shortens the path from brief to signed contract.
Leadership roles we place in technology
Nigel Wright Group recruits senior leaders who set direction and build strong teams. Assignments cover the full breadth of technology leadership. We place people who drive delivery at pace and lift performance across the business.
Typical appointments include:
- Chief Technology Officers and Chief Information Officers
- VPs and Directors of Engineering
- Heads of Data, Product, and Platform
- Software and delivery leaders scaling technical teams
We also support succession planning for boards that think ahead. Securing the technology leaders who will carry a business forward is central to that work. When a growing company needs to strengthen its leadership team, we find the specialist talent that fits its ambition. Our remit covers permanent, interim, and executive tech jobs throughout the region.
