South East
£100 - £120k
If you are a senior technology leader, you know the frustration of being pushed so far up the management chain that you lose touch with the code. You want to modernise platforms, drive AI strategy, and remain hands on with the architecture, but instead, you are trapped in a loop of administrative red tape.

Senior Social Media Executive

Norfolk
£30-40k
Most social media roles keep you locked into purely repetitive scheduling tasks, giving you zero say over creative briefs or how the platform strategy actually connects to commercial growth. This is not one of them. We are partnering with a market-leading digital entertainment business on the outskirts of Norwich to find a driven and creative Senior Social Media Executive. Operating at an exceptional scale with substantial multi-channel marketing backing, this company relies heavily on its active digital ecosystems. This in-office position is designed for an ambitious professional ready to step up, take direct ownership of day-to-day execution, and shape active consumer communities. The head office is situated outside the city centre, meaning the ability to drive and access a car will be highly beneficial for your daily commute.

We are partnering with a leading digital and technology consultancy on the outskirts of Norwich to find a tenacious, growth-driven Web Developer. You will join a highly skilled engineering powerhouse of over 30 developers, organized into tight, collaborative squads.

Account Manager

“If you measure your success as an Account Manager by how many fires you put out today, you're doing it wrong.” If you are an experienced technology Account Manager, you know the frustration of being treated as a glorified order-taker. You want to strategy-map and build deep relationships, but instead, you are buried under chaotic admin and fires you didn't start. It doesn't have to be that way.
