Technology Senior Leadership Salary Survey 2024

As anticipated, 2023 was a year of focus on areas such as growth in some areas, cost cutting in others but mostly around consolidation during uncertain times. With some large multinationals closing some departments and new entrants this has led to movement in the labour market at Senior Level.

For 2024 we expect to see continued consolidation in general, but with a more cautious expansion to build on the work of 2023. As ever, there is high demand for talented leaders with a combination of technical leadership and the ability to understand business demands across an organisation. With expansion in Financial Services and Cloud providers, this mix of technical and business intelligence will continue to be a valued asset in the labour market.
