This company is one of the most dynamic I've ever hired for. They have a unique offering, are first-to-market, are privately owned and have very realistic yet very ambitious growth plans. People who join now are very well placed for this future growth; as they grow thus your role and seniority will grow.
Culturally, no-one is overly managed and people are given autonomy and flexibility. The hiring manager is one of my favourite clients, I've placed many people with him at different companies over the years and I've had the best feedback of any CTO ever; he's great at nurturing the careers of those he works with.
If you're intrigued but not ready to formally apply and have questions, just call me (Leigh) on 07789 850 017
