  • Consumer growth experience (subscription, marketplace, or edtech preferred).
  • Comfortable with long-term planning, and adapting to changing business conditions.
  • Proven ability to convert strategy into plans that drive measurable growth (e.g., acquisition, retention, LTV/CAC).
  • Strong planning, stakeholder management, and end-to-end ownership of complex, cross-functional initiatives.

The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
