*Exact job title up for discussion
Location: Cambridge, UK
Salary: Up for discussion how this will look – will likely be a mix of high base, equity and bonus
Requirements for Advisory VP of Engineering:
- Previous experience working as a CTO, VP of engineering or similar – noting we need someone on the technical and engineering side, opposed to operational
- You have taken a company through at least one exit or similar major milestone
- You almost certainly started your career as an Engineer or Developer
- Degree educated in a STEM subject
- Brilliant communication skills
Responsibilities for Advisory VP of Engineering:
This is not a traditional VP of Engineering or CTO role—it is a full-time advisory position, working closely with the senior leadership team and the wider business. You’ll provide strategic insights, make key recommendations, and help shape the company’s long-term growth journey.
Our client is looking to the future and recognises the need for someone who has “been there, done that, and bought the T-shirt”—a leader who can guide them through critical milestones and ensure they are making the right moves at the right time.
If you’ve led engineering teams through scale-ups and exits—or even multiple exits—this is an exciting opportunity to make a real impact on a business poised for significant growth.
What this offers:
- An extremely unique opportunity for a senior level exec to work in a full-time advisor capacity
- Excellent salary and benefits, including equity in the business
- A chance to see your ideas shape the future of a fast-growing software house
