We are looking for a Director of Business Development who will expand our existing client base in the United Kingdom. Demonstrable competency in sales or business development preferably for a Contract Research Organization or company providing services to the healthcare industry. Coordinates with th

Director of Organic Search • Salary to £100k + benefits, • Fully remote (UK-based, occasional travel for client meetings and team days) NB: please only apply if you have lots of experience speaking at events, contributing to publications, appearing on podcasts etc. (i.e. being very visible/well known in the organic search community). Overview This opportunity is with a multi-award-winning SEO and digital marketing agency with offices in London and Dubai. They work with high-growth brands across competitive industries including finance, iGaming, and eCommerce, delivering data-driven SEO campaigns that drive real commercial results. The Opportunity This is a senior leadership role owning the full organic search offer across SEO, content, link building, AI search and digital PR. This is not a management role disguised as a directorship. This is a genuine leadership position for someone who wants to shape the direction of an agency. They are a digital marketing agency specialising in regulated industries, including iGaming and financial services. They have been operating since 2008 and are in the middle of a significant transformation. They are investing significantly in growth across the UK, Middle East and Southeast Asia, aiming to double ARR over the next two-to-three years. The Director of Organic Search will be central to that growth. The role sits at the intersection of vision, strategy and delivery. You will own the organic search vertical: its performance, its people, its output and its reputation. You will work alongside the Managing Director to shape agency strategy, and alongside the sales team to help win and retain clients. What They Are Looking For Someone who is known in the industry (essential). Someone who has built things, grown things, and has the credibility to walk into a boardroom or onto a stage and represent the agency with authority. If you are the kind of person who quietly does good work but avoids the spotlight, this probably is not the right fit. They need someone who combines technical depth with commercial instinct and personal brand. What You Will Do • Own the strategic direction of organic search; Define what services they offer, how they deliver them, and where they take them next. This includes SEO, content, outreach, link building, digital PR, and LLM/AI visibility., • Lead and grow the team; You will inherit an existing team and have the scope to restructure, recruit and develop it. This means hiring senior talent, building career paths, and creating a culture where people do their best work., • Drive client performance; Every client on an organic search retainer is your responsibility. Not the day-to-day delivery, but the strategy, the quality, and the results. When a client is underperforming, you are the person who fixes the approach., • Win new business; Support pitches, lead strategy presentations, and help close deals. Your credibility and expertise will be a direct factor in whether prospects choose them over the competition., • Elevate the agencys reputation (essential); Contribute to the agencys thought leadership through LinkedIn, speaking engagements, podcasts, industry events and media. You will be a visible representative of the company in the search community., • Shape commercial strategy; Work with the MD and CEO on pricing, packaging, service development and growth planning. This is not a siloed role. You will have a seat at the table where decisions about the future of the business are made., • Build and refine processes; Improve how they onboard clients, how they report, how they deliver, and how they retain. You will own the search delivery within it., • Stay ahead of the industry; AI search, LLM visibility, algorithm changes, new platforms. You will be the person the team and their clients look to for what is coming next and what to do about it. Who You Are You have at least 810 years of search experience across SEO, content and digital PR, with a significant portion at senior or director level in an agency environment. You have worked with global or nationally recognised brands and can demonstrate measurable commercial impact from your work. You have deep experience across technical SEO, content strategy, link building, and digital PR. You do not need to be the best at each, but you need to understand every discipline well enough to lead it. You have a visible industry presence (essential). You speak at events, contribute to publications, appear on podcasts, or maintain an active and respected LinkedIn profile. You are known in the organic search community. You have experience in regulated industries such as iGaming and financial services. This is not essential, but it would be a significant advantage given their specialism. You are commercially minded. You understand how agency economics work, how to price services, and how to connect organic search performance to client revenue. You are a natural leader. People want to work for you, not because of your title, but because you make them better at their jobs. You have the energy and the fire. This is a transformation role. They are not looking for someone who wants to maintain the status quo. They want someone who wakes up thinking about how to make things better. What This Role Is Not This is not a head of role with a director title. You will not spend your days in spreadsheets doing keyword research. You will have a team. Your job is to set the direction, raise the standard, and make sure the output is exceptional. This is also not a pure people management role where you sit in meetings all day. You will be expected to stay close to the work, to understand what is happening on client accounts, and to step in when the strategy needs your expertise. The best people they have seen are the ones who can zoom out to the big picture and focus into the detail when it matters. Why Regulated Industries Matter Our clients operate in sectors were getting it wrong is not just a missed ranking. It can mean regulatory action, reputational damage, or legal consequences. iGaming brands need to navigate advertising restrictions across multiple jurisdictions. Financial services clients must comply with FCA guidelines. Healthcare and pharma content must meet strict accuracy and compliance standards. This is their competitive advantage. Most agencies avoid these sectors because they are complicated. They specialise in them because they understand the rules, the risks, and how to deliver results within those constraints. If you have worked in these industries before, you already know what that means. If you have not, you will need to learn quickly, and they will support you in doing so. What They Offer £70,000 to £80,000 base salary depending on experience Fully remote working A genuine leadership role with a seat at the senior table The opportunity to shape an agency during its most important growth phase Conference and event budget for speaking engagements and industry presence Other Stuff NB: for non-UK Citizens; we cannot accept applications from anyone requiring sponsorship (now or in the future) for UK permanent employment you are utilising a work visa this must allow you to work in the UK unrestricted for at least the next 5 years.

Hi 👋 I’m _, Director of Engineering, Europe. How do you feel about engineers writing product specs, making product decisions, and not breaking down projects into individual tickets? If that sounds exciting (even if a bit scary), read on because I’m looking for an engineering manager to help us build a different type of engineering team and culture at Ashby. To start, why do we need to be different? Time and again, I have witnessed engineers knowing what needs to be done yet being unable to get things done because of “the process” or because “more data is needed.” Some of the most effective projects have been skunkworks projects, where engineers have taken total ownership of a problem and driven it to completion. I want to normalize that at Ashby. When we think about how these processes came about, we realize they carry a pessimistic mindset. They box people into smaller roles to minimize the chance of not meeting a certain standard. At Ashby. we’re building an environment that is optimistic about what engineers can own and achieve and embraces the innovative engineers (and frankly, often stays out of their way). To accomplish this, our engineering leaders need to think deeply about individual performance, process, and culture - not running sprint planning or driving product and technical decisions. You’ll focus on building your team, their skills to thrive with the ownership they’re given, and an environment that empowers them to do their best work consistently, with little distraction. For junior EMs we try to stay within 6 direct reports. This enables them to spend time with our teams observing, correcting, praising, and, yes, coding. We like our managers to be hands-on while also making sure they’re not on the critical path. We’ve already gathered an_ of 25+ engineers. You’ll help me manage the growing team of engineers in Europe. In addition to working with engineers you’ll also get to work on projects yourselves. Some examples of work our engineering leaders have done: Provide feedback on product and technical specs to help engineers identify where to cut scope or improve quality. You don’t make the final decisions, but you’ll influence and coach ICs to reach the right ones. Grow engineers to the point where they can take large, loosely defined projects, and deliver them with little intervention. They still ask for help when needed - the difference is that they’re driving. Jump into our systems and code to debug a customer issue, ship a small bug fix, or improve our developer experience. Engineering leaders at Ashby are great engineers and enjoy keeping their skills up-to-date (while staying off the critical path). Improve how we generate and simulate data in demo accounts. It’s a project off the critical path, but it helps you keep up-to-date on our codebase while immensely impacting the business, from Engineering to QA to Sales. I had two experiences early in my career that set me on my path. I had a great manager who asked tonnes of questions about the decisions I was making and coached me without me realizing it. And I had a terrible manager - being told to work harder after a week of 3am finishes was not what I needed as a young engineer. The stark difference between these two experiences motivated me to become a manager: I wanted every engineer I worked with to have the support I had in the best case. Since then, as I’ve learned more, I’ve realized that I love the kind of problems I get to solve as a manager. Deeply complex problems with long-term impact both on the company and on people’s lives. One of my proudest achievements is creating a fully transparent pay system, and on the day it was revealed, everybody was happy with it. Nobody stormed out. By spending time thinking deeply about everybody’s pay and ensuring the mechanics of promotion were clear, I put the team in a place where they could see a peer was paid more than them, and it not be a problem. Despite all this, I love being technical. I sometimes indulge myself and spend a morning writing some code to improve tests or provide better abstractions. If I couldn’t be a manager, I’d be super happy to be an IC. I’m looking for someone who is passionate. Passionate about both management and being technical. Someone who spots a pattern amongst their team, figures out a better way for us to operate, and then builds the automation that powers it. I introduced a new process that enables engineers to merge 30% of PRs without a human review beforehand. I also built the automation that approves these PRs. I also built that automation with abstractions that make it easy for the engineers to improve the automation themselves. It can be hard to find seasoned engineering leaders who haven’t succumbed to the status quo in some way or another. We're committed to giving all our people a total and utter lack of terrible managers, and that means we're willing to take a chance on someone early in their leadership journey who's courageous, principled, and has the drive to build themselves into a great leader who can say “Yah I know everyone is doing that, but we won't because...” Engineering leadership comes in many flavors, not all of which fit our model. I thought I’d outline some things I’m looking for to help you decide if this fits what you’re looking for: You love being technical and can hold in-depth conversations with direct reports from infra to backend to frontend. You enjoy management problems. We want people who get excited about driving people to be their best, giving difficult feedback, and building systems that make this easier You hold your team to a high standard and don’t shy away from getting into the details and giving feedback, even to the best folks on your team. You are an excellent and empathetic communicator. Facilitating change at both an individual and organization level requires understanding how to navigate the beliefs, opinions, and past experiences of engineers and figuring out how to both convince them of a new way of doing things while also leaving yourself open to feedback. You know what exceptional engineers look like. You’ve thought deeply about what makes them tick, how to recruit them, and how to grow folks into them. I want to see depth here, the industry often regurgitates a vanilla description, but the reality is more nuanced. You’re good at thinking about product, business, and maybe even design, but you’re not interested in calling the shots and are more interested in building a team that can make the best decisions without you. You thrive in high-trust, high-autonomy environments. We're a young startup where leaders wear multiple hats, and you'll build your own (high-speed) on-ramp through developing strong feedback loops. Put another way, you shouldn’t apply if: You don’t enjoy coding or don’t find time to stay up-to-date on technology. You’ve gotten into management because it was the only growth path available You want to make all the product decisions instead of empowering your team to make those calls. You're happy with a team of engineers that are predominantly early-career, mid-career, or don't thrive with ownership or autonomy. With enough guardrails, the team can get things done. A staff or principal engineer to you is someone who spends most of their time project managing or doing architecture reviews. You’re not optimistic or convinced that we can build a large engineering team that functions differently than the status quo. You think, at some size, common processes need to be implemented to ensure consistent product delivery (e.g., sprint planning, product managers writing in-depth specifications). You might not say it out loud, but you think, at some size, compromises have to be made for the sake of hiring numbers. Talent teams aspire to build a hiring process that identifies great candidates, moves them quickly through the interview process, and provides an excellent experience for the candidate. To accomplish this, recruiters perform thousands of daily tasks to coordinate and relay information between candidates, interviewers, and hiring managers. Teams struggle to keep up! Scheduling a final round is an excellent example of our customers' challenges. A recruiter needs to collect availability from the candidate, identify potential interviewers, perform “Calendar Tetris” to find who is available to interview the candidate, schedule on the earliest date possible, and perform any last-minute adjustments as availability changes. They must perform this while considering the interview load on each individual and whether interviewers need to be trained and shadowing others. 🥵 Ashby provides talent teams with intelligent and powerful software that provides insights into where they’re failing and automates or simplifies many of the tasks they’re underwater with. We put a lot of effort into designing products that are approachable to beginners but mastered and extended by power users. In many ways, spreadsheets set the bar here. We have many customers, great revenue growth, years of runway, and amazing investors like YCombinator, Elad Gil, and Lachy Groom. I’ll share more once we meet. Our engineering culture is motivated by and ’s (our co-founders) belief that a small talented team, given the right environment, can build high-quality software fast (and work regular hours!). Our engineering team (and the team at large) consists of lifelong learners who are humble and kind (meet them !). These attributes create an environment where collaboration happens naturally (we filter for it in interviews). We combine this with research, prototyping, and written proposals to see around corners and get feedback from the team across time zones. Focus time is something that we hold sacred, and, with thoughtful and deliberate communication, engineers can focus 36h out of a 40h work week (Abhik wrote about it ). Even managers can rely on getting consistent time (and support to make, if necessary) to focus and do creative work without the demand of constant meetings. We built Ashby with the quality, breadth, and depth that many customers would expect from much larger teams over larger time scales. We’ve done this through investment in: Great developer tooling. Our CI/CD takes ~10m, and we deploy at least 5x a day. Everyone on the team has contributed to developer experience 💪🏾 Building blocks to create powerful and customizable products fast. At the core of Ashby is a set of common components (analytics modeling and query language, policy engine, workflow engine, design system) which we are constantly improving. Each improvement to a common component cascades throughout our app (short video on it _). Here’s an impromptu quote from Arjun in our company Slack of what it’s like to build a feature at Ashby: And a demo of one of these building blocks: We, as engineers, find clever ways to solve problems, which amplifies when we deeply understand the problem. All of us in technical leadership did our best work as engineers when we had a deep understanding of the end-user and the business and ownership over the solution. Our engineering culture reflects this experience: engineers own projects end-to-end, from speaking with users to writing product specs to UX design. These are skills that we often don’t get to practice as engineers, and, as a manager at Ashby, you’ll provide mentorship and feedback to engineers to ensure they are successful when delivering projects. Diverse teams_. As the father of two young girls, I want to see them grow up in a world where all industries are open and welcoming to everyone, regardless of race, gender, or preferences. Helping to build a more diverse team at Ashby is my way of contributing to this change. Today, 26% of engineers at Ashby are from underrepresented groups. It’s not great, and we are taking conscious steps to improve, like sourcing diverse candidates, providing generous paid family leave, no leetcode interviews, and more. At Ashby, our team and interview process want to help you show your best self. We’ll dive into past projects and simulate working together. Our interview process is six interviews in the following order: Intro Call (30m) - Discuss your application questions, align on the responsibilities of the role, and answer questions about Ashby. Past Experience Deep Dive (1h) - Discuss your past experience as an engineering leader. Technical Screen (1h) - Add a feature back to Ashby.

Red Team Engineer | Adversary Simulation Ready to make the move into red teaming properly? You've been building your offensive security skills - maybe in penetration testing, maybe through personal research and labs - and you're ready for a role that lets you focus entirely on adversary simulation. This is that role. We're looking for someone early in their red team journey but serious about the craft.

Day to day that means: • Contributing to attack path design and threat scenario planning, • Hands-on technical delivery across Active Directory, Azure, M365, and cloud platforms, • Supporting phishing and social engineering campaigns, • Helping produce clear, accurate reporting that tells a real attacker story, • Learning how engagements are scoped, structured, and presented to clients What We're Looking For: • A background in penetration testing or offensive security, with a growing interest in red teaming specifically, • Solid foundations in Active Directory and at least one cloud environment (Azure preferred), • Someone who learns independently - reads research, follows threat actors, runs labs, • Clear communication skills, written and verbal - you'll be client-facing, • A genuine passion for offensive security, not just a job title change Nice to have: • CRTO / CCRTS or working towards it - it'll carry real weight in this team, • Any personal projects, blogs, tools, or CTF history that shows you're invested, • Exposure to C2 frameworks or basic evasion techniques Why this role? You'll get structured exposure to complex, intelligence-led red team work from day one - supported by a senior technical lead who wants to bring the right person on and develop them properly.
