Unite: The Agency Alternative is six years old. We operate without offices, without permanent creative headcount and without the overhead structure that traditional agencies pass on to clients. Instead, we build bespoke teams from a vetted network of 500-plus specialists, matched brief by brief through Drafted, our proprietary talent system. It is a different way of working and it delivers better value. The client roster reflects that. We are looking for someone to lead our commercial growth. This is a role for a person who is as comfortable building a strategy as they are sitting across from a client. If that sounds like you, read on. THE ROLE This is a dual-focus commercial role, split equally between growing what we have and winning what we don't. 50% of your focus sits on existing client growth. We have a strong, established client base spanning consumer, B2B, financial services, construction, hospitality, food and more. These are not small accounts and there is headroom in every single one of them. You will build and own the strategy for unlocking it: identifying where we are underrepresented, where new briefs could come from, and where the relationship deserves more than it is currently getting. You will work closely with our client partners to stay close to the day-to-day, and you will turn that intelligence into growth. The other 50% is new business. You will build and execute a strategy for bringing in the right clients. Not volume for the sake of it. The right ones. You will identify prospects, develop relationships, get us in the room, and close. You will work with operations to shape proposals that are sharp, tailored and impossible to ignore. From brief to win, this is yours. Both halves of this role report directly to Chris and Dan, the founders. You will be the commercial lead for the business and you will be treated as one. WHAT YOU WILL OWN • A growth strategy for existing clients: where the headroom is, how we get there and how we measure it., • A new business strategy: target sectors, target names, a pipeline and a plan to convert it., • The sales proposal process for new business. Working with operations on the detail and shaping the narrative, you are accountable for what goes out under our name., • The quality of client relationships. Not just the commercial ones. You will be the kind of person clients want to hear from and want to meet. That matters as much as any number on a spreadsheet., • A close working relationship with our client partners and operations team. This role sits inside the business, not above it. WHO YOU ARE You walk into a room and people want to talk to you. In this industry, relationships open doors and the ability to build them quickly and genuinely is not something you can train into someone. You either have it or you don't. You have come from a traditional agency and you know what doesn't work about it. You understand why clients get tired of the same approach, and you can talk about the alternative with confidence because you believe in it. You sell by solving. No hard sell, no pushing product. You take the time to understand what a client actually needs and bring your experience to bear on it: offering solutions they may not have considered, identifying problems before they become ones, and always acting in their interest. That is what a true partner does and it is what keeps clients for years rather than months. • You have a track record of growing accounts, not just managing them., • You have won new business. You know what it takes to get in the room and what it takes to win once you are there., • You can build a strategy and you can execute one. Both matter equally here., • You are comfortable working without traditional agency infrastructure. No large support team, no layers of approval. That suits you., • You understand how creative businesses work. Briefs, proposals, production. You do not need to be a creative, but you need to respect the craft and know how to sell it., • You communicate well in writing, in a meeting and on your feet. WHAT THIS IS NOT An account management position. The role is about growth, not servicing. A role where the strategy is handed to you. You will build it and you will own it. A slow start. We are a lean business and we move at pace. The expectation is that you do the same. THE DETAIL • Full-time role, remote-first with regular travel for client and prospect meetings., • Reports directly to Chris Hobson and Dan Laurence, co-founders of Unite: The Agency Alternative., • Covers the full Unite offering: creative communications, marketing, campaigns and events. HOW TO APPLY Tell us about a client you grew and how you did it. Tell us about a piece of new business you won and what made the difference. Keep it honest and keep it direct. That is how we work and it is what we are looking for. Strictly no recruitment agencies thank you. Unite: The Agency Alternative | uniteandcreate.com

Who we are: A dedicated tech recruitment agency founded in 2014 by Directors with over 40 years combined experience, we partner with a plethora of household names UK wide & beyond to source top level technologists across every industry specialism. The role: After a record breaking year and a move into our shiny new offices overlooking the city, we are looking to grow the team once more. We're not one of the big boys so you won't be part of a 10 person intake, we can dedicate the time and resources you will need as an individual to make yourself a success in what is a hugely competitive industry. We can also offer a wide choice of market specialisms under the direct mentoring of our experienced leadership team. You will be responsible for expanding our service offering along the lines of your chosen market, bringing on board new clients and making sure they're serviced to the levels we have become renowned for. You'll get plenty of help along the way and we pride ourselves on avoiding the churn & burn approach to expansion - if you're dedicated & committed, we'll be with you all the way. So what are we looking for? If someone could write the recipe for perfect results every time when it comes to hiring trainee recruiters, they would very rich indeed. Successful recruiters come from many a background but most have experience in some sort of customer service or sales role whether people interaction plays a big part. What you will need though is a commitment and dedication to delivering for your clients whilst being driven to achieve, and surpass, targets set. With this should be a genuine thirst for both personal and financial success in what is one of the most competitive industries you can imagine. We only recruit for highly sought after technical staff and competition is tough, we know it’s not easy but nothing that's worth the reward ever is! As technology is our sector of choice, you will also need to develop a deep understanding of your chosen speciality - Google can always help but a few weekends with your head buried in the right kind of book won’t go amiss. Traits you will need to bring: • Communication - strong written and verbal communication skills are a must as you establish and build relationships across the industry, • Self-Promotion - more than ever in the connected world, your ability to promote your personal brand is an essential part of what we do. Via Linkedin, Twitter, YouTube, personal and company blogs etc, you will be reaching out to prospects and must have a firm grasp of how to market yourself with confidence, • Organisation – with numerous clients and candidates seeking your expertise, you will need to master the art of multiple plate spinning, • Initiative – an ability to think on your feet and resolve any issues is vital., • Work ethic – it goes without saying in any role but you get out what you put in. This is especially true in recruitment., • Resilience – things go wrong in recruitment, often! You’re representing people and those people have a tendency to change their minds - often to your detriment. Shout, scream, sulk a little……..then pick yourself up and go again. And what you can expect: • Comprehensive training in all aspects of the role – both “classroom” and “on the job”, • Uncapped, market leading commission scheme with no thresholds and quarterly incentives to progress, • Team holiday incentives – last year saw the team visit Las Vegas, • Clothing allowance, • 25 days holiday, birthday off & WFH options after probation, • Access to marketing lead tech & Linkedin recruiter account, • Company pension scheme, • Awesome Altrincham centre office location overlooking the markets with pool table, table tennis, beer fridge & underground parking (also available to use at the weekend, very handy for shopping!), • Relaxed, friendly culture – we’re competitive but we’re not Wolf of Wall Street Curious? You probably have lots of questions but If the above genuinely sounds like the kind of challenge that excites we would love to hear from you. Drop us a line with your latest CV and we can arrange an initial, informal chat.

Robots Can't Replace a Real Conversation. Become a Human Connection Specialist. Let's address the elephant in the room. The headlines are everywhere: "AI is coming for entry-level jobs." And sure, ChatGPT can draft an email, analyse data, and maybe even tell a half-decent joke. But here's what it can't do: It can't read the room. It can't build genuine trust with a smile. It can't sense hesitation, pivot a conversation, or celebrate a win with a high-five that actually means something. Human connection is the ultimate un-automatable skill. And right now, demand for it is exploding. So while the world panics about bots taking over, we're doubling down on people. Real, ambitious, slightly-caffeinated people who want to build something AI never will: a career with soul, growth, and leadership baked in. Enter Playbook Direct. We're on the hunt for energetic, people-loving, growth-obsessed humans to join us as: Sales & Marketing Associate – Future Director Pathway Translation: You start on the front lines, mastering the art of face-to-face engagement. You learn how people tick, how to lead with empathy, and how to win with integrity. No experience? No problem. Our Academy has your back with hands-on training, weekly mentorship, and a squad that actually cheers for your success. The Bit That Gets Interesting: We don't hire Senior Directors externally. Ever. We build them. From scratch. From this exact role. Some of our current leadership team started right where you'd be sitting. The path? Crystal clear: • 🎓 Master the craft – Learn sales, marketing, and the psychology of human behaviour, • 🎤 Step into leadership – Coaching, public speaking, recruitment, campaign management, • 🧠 Run the business – Advanced strategy, operations, international networking retreats, • 🏆 Become the Director – Lead teams of 40+, drive major client campaigns, earn £125k+ All while AI watches from the sidelines, utterly incapable of doing what you do. The Culture Bit (No Corporate Fluff, Promise): No egos. No hierarchy theatre. No clock-watching for a promotion that might never come. Just open conversations, performance-based progression, and a team that works hard and switches off properly when the day's done. Your voice matters from day one – not year five. The Money Bit 💸: Solid day rate. Uncapped commissions. Market-leading earnings for those who bring energy and effort. The Senior Director package? North of £125k. And it's not a lottery ticket. It's a roadmap with your name on it. So, while the robots are busy learning to sound human, you could be out there actually being one. Connecting. Leading. Growing. Fancy building a career that no algorithm can replicate? Just apply and one of our team members will reach out!

Investor-Side Conveyancing Role | Back-to-Back Deals Greater Manchester / Hybrid Up to £60k Base + Deal Bonuses + Profit Share Not a Traditional Conveyancing Role This is a rare opportunity to step directly into the commercial side of property transactions, working in-house for a highly successful property investor with 40+ years of experience across residential investments, back-to-back deals and opportunistic acquisitions. This is not a law firm environment. There’s no hierarchy, no layers of management and no corporate structure. You’ll work directly alongside the founder, helping drive and execute deals from instruction through to completion. Most importantly, this is not a coordination or admin role. We are specifically looking for someone who can personally run residential conveyancing transactions end-to-end with minimal supervision. You do not need to be formally qualified, but you do need genuine execution capability. What You’ll Actually Be Doing • Running residential conveyancing transactions from start to finish, • Managing investor-led and back-to-back deals, • Liaising directly with agents, brokers and external solicitors, • Resolving issues proactively and keeping deals moving, • Handling the practical day-to-day execution of transactions in-house, • Supporting deal progression across multiple simultaneous transactions Alongside the conveyancing side, you’ll also gain direct exposure to the commercial side of property investing: • Speaking with agents daily, • Spotting and assessing opportunities, • Attending auctions, PIN meetings and networking events, • Supporting sourcing, structuring and progression of deals, • Learning how deals are actually monetised Some days are paperwork-heavy. Others you’ll be out in the market. This Role Is NOT Suitable For • Conveyancing coordinators, • Pure sales progressors, • Managers who only oversee teams, • Candidates without hands-on transaction execution experience, • Anyone needing significant supervision or structure You must be comfortable personally handling the work yourself. What We’re Looking For • Proven hands-on residential conveyancing experience, • Ability to independently progress transactions end-to-end, • Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, non-corporate environment, • Strong problem-solving and ownership mentality, • Commercially minded and interested in property investing, • Able to manage pressure, pace and multiple moving parts simultaneously Formal legal qualifications are not required. However, practical execution experience is essential. Why This Role Is Different Most conveyancing roles keep you far away from the commercial side of property. This role gives you direct exposure to: • how deals are sourced, • how opportunities are identified, • how investor deals are structured, • how money is actually made in property You’ll work closely with someone who has been successfully operating in the market for over 40 years. There is genuine mentorship and commercial exposure here - not just more files to process. The Environment • Founder-led and entrepreneurial, • Fast-moving and highly hands-on, • Non-corporate and direct, • At times chaotic, • Built around getting deals done This suits someone who enjoys autonomy, pace and responsibility - not someone looking for a highly structured legal environment. Package • Up to £60k base salary, • £200 per completed deal, • 25% profit share on sourced deals, • Realistic £100k+ earning potential

For uncompromising cat parents who want the best, KatKin is revolutionising cat health by transforming the lives of cats through superior nutrition. We’re Europe’s first fresh-cooked cat food, made with 100% human-grade meat, gently cooked and frozen to lock in freshness. As a disruptor in the $185bn pet food market, KatKin was founded to challenge the low standards set by the traditional cat food industry, which is worth $50bn globally and is this fastest growing segment in the pet care market. The concept for fresh food is well established in the US, particularly in Dog, with the Farmers’ Dog surpassing >$1B in sales proving the scale of the opportunity. KatKin is vertically integrated across R&D, manufacturing, sales, and marketing. To date, we've delivered around 62 million fresh meals to over 270,000 happy, healthy cats across the UK. Our team of over 150 spans several locations, including London, USA, and our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Haverhill, Suffolk. We also have customer service teams in both London and South Africa. KatKin operates a direct-to-consumer (D2C) model supported by a first-class, dedicated customer service team. In addition to our eCommerce channel, our Fresh food and Pantry products are also sold through a growing number of select third-party platforms, including Ocado, Amazon, and Pets at Home. Where the competition cuts corners, catfishes customers, and puts profits over health, KatKin puts cat well-being first. No shortcuts. No secret recipes. We’re cutting the fluff, thinking fresh, and channelling hardcore love into industry-wide change. So cats live long and cat parents can love hard without compromise. If you want to join an ambitious, mission-driven, high-growth startup that’s making a genuine difference to cats’ (and their people’s) lives, you’ll love working at KatKin.

For uncompromising cat parents who want the best, KatKin is revolutionising cat health by transforming the lives of cats through superior nutrition. We’re Europe’s first fresh-cooked cat food, made with 100% human-grade meat, gently cooked and frozen to lock in freshness. As a disruptor in the $185bn pet food market, KatKin was founded to challenge the low standards set by the traditional cat food industry, which is worth $50bn globally and is this fastest growing segment in the pet care market. The concept for fresh food is well established in the US, particularly in Dog, with the Farmers’ Dog surpassing >$1B in sales proving the scale of the opportunity. KatKin is vertically integrated across R&D, manufacturing, sales, and marketing. To date, we've delivered around 35 million fresh meals to over 200,000 happy, healthy cats across the UK. Our team of over 130 spans all locations, including Clerkenwell, London, the US, and our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Haverhill, Suffolk. We also have customer service teams in both London and South Africa. KatKin operates a direct-to-consumer (D2C) model supported by a first-class, dedicated customer service team, allowing us to build valuable relationships and foster a passionate customer community. In addition to our eCommerce channel, our Fresh food and Pantry products are also sold through a growing number of select third-party platforms, including Ocado, Amazon, and Pets at Home. Where the competition cuts corners, catfishes customers, and puts profits over health, KatKin puts cat well-being first. No shortcuts. No secret recipes. We’re cutting the fluff, thinking fresh, and channelling hardcore love into industry-wide change. So cats live long and cat parents can love hard without compromise. We’re all-in for cats, and it shows: our energy will blow you away from day one.
