The Person

  • Maybe Product and Programme Management are one niche you cover, but you'd really love this to be your specialism.
  • Alternative, you already cover Product and Programme Management but you're the only one in the consultancy who does this and understands it?!
  • Let's now add on top, whilst you love specialising, the way you're being asked to recruit is a million miles from the advisor you want to be.
  • From VP's of Product Management to Senior Product Analysts, all things Digital Development are your world.
  • But you feel like you stick out because nobody around you devours industry news, listens to tech podcasts or ever wants to join you on a networking event.
  • For you a great day is not 250 LinkedIn messages - it's chatting with a CEO, building genuine connections and seeing every opportunity as a way to expand your professional circle and create meaningful relationships.
  • Just "going through the motions" is not your style - you're driven by genuine quality recruitment work, that frequently draws on your resilience, ability to hold great conversations and carving out a niche as the go-to and trusted consultant in Product and Programme Management.

The Company:

  • 15 years in the making this is a recruitment consultancy with a serious competitive edge.
  • Utterly invested and unashamedly obsessed with Digital Development, Design and Tech.
  • They join the dots across the entire Digital journey and is why their 8 specialist niches interact and collaborate so seamlessly for clients, candidates and colleagues alike.
  • A robust leadership team who aren't about to leave the week after you join. They're aspirational, emotionally intelligent and respected industry veterans.
  • They set up the business to prove there can be successful agencies, great at what they do - whilst still being very nice people!
  • Huge on being "seen" and respected within the Digital industry, they invest heavily in the brand to ensure their consultants have a great platform to leverage off.
  • DE&I is a commitment and not a gimmick, so probably won't surprise you to know they're BCorp certified (88.7 overall impact score against business averages of 50.9).
  • Awards and recognition include Great Places to Work, APSCO, Certified CPD Training Investor and London Stock Exchange 1000 companies to Inspire Britain.

The Role:

  • As a Digital specialist, the leaders of this consultancy are seeing Product as one of the fastest tech functions as it becomes more centralised and given higher importance within Tech teams.
  • Ahead of the curve, this consultancy started specialising in Product years ago. The individual who ran this desk has set you up with an exceptional platform to leverage off.
  • They have hung up their recruitment boots, so this is a phenomenal and rare opportunity to walk into a warm desk with Product, Project and Programme Management roles to work on from day one.
  • Leading and driving this niche yourself, they focus on Product Management experts, placing £50k to £150k specialists who are not the "design" end of Product - but are the brains behind the definition of the Product initially and who will also then lead on the delivery of the Product and the Programme.
  • To this end, your hiring decision makers will include VPs', Chief Product Officers, Head of Tech and CTO's through to Change and Programme Management Directors.
  • A dual desk (predominantly Permanent at present) - clients are a combination of Client side and Agency side - from blue chip Corporates to exciting SMEs.
  • Driven by excellence, no cutting corners and known for giving first class service - your new client generation and existing business relationships are both fuelled by an advisory and consultative approach.
  • Equally, candidate generation is encouraged with the same relationship led mindset - it's as important to forge strong relationships and a network of those not currently seeking a new role, as with those who are.
  • The leadership love innovation and encourage you to come to them with ideas around events, podcasts, interviewing an expert and posting it on LinkedIn - even if you're nervous, they'll support you through it!
