Markets
Four specialist markets since 2010, recruited by the people who know them.
Our recruitment consultants go deeper into “tech”.
Each one specialises in a single market: Product, UX & Design, Data & AI or Engineering, and knows it well enough to tell the genuinely strong candidate from the well-written CV.
That's why our CV-to-interview ratio leads the industry, and why so many of the people we place come back years later to hire through us.
From start-ups building their first product team to enterprise leaders scaling globally, we deliver permanent, contract, fractional and executive hires across the UK, US, Europe and the Middle East.

“I've been working with Consortia for 7 years. They have helped me hire great UX researchers and UI designers in two organisations. The team really listen to the needs and contexts of the roles I hire for. They take time to understand how this translates to individual candidates and only put forward serious good fits. This has resulted in a great deal of time being saved, positive impact on the teams that new staff joined and benefit for the hires themselves who experience being a good fit.”
“Working with Joe at Consortia has been an absolute pleasure - every candidate he has provided to us has been a home run and we can't wait to work with him again in future. Thank you very much, Consortia, and especially Joe who has been extremely dependable.”
“Diligent, responsive and properly on top of things. One of the best recruiters I've worked with. I'd happily recommend them.”
“Every candidate they sourced was an exact match, which saved us real time. More of a trusted partner now than a recruiter.”
“Brilliant people work here. They care about the whole recruitment process and are always there for candidates throughout.”
“An extremely smooth experience, with quality candidates and outstanding precision throughout the process.”
“Expert developers are thin on the ground, but Consortia swiftly provided a strong shortlist and we made a successful appointment.”
“Napoleon was very helpful in mediating between me and my new employer :-).”

Product Operations Director
You’re the person leadership calls when ambitious strategies need turning into visible, measurable change, and you want a seat where you own the outcome, not just the slide deck. As a Product Operations Director, you’ll partner directly with the Chief Product Officer of a global, private-equity-backed software business that has outgrown its original operating model. The company has evolved from a largely co-located European organisation into a distributed international Product & Engineering group of around 250-300 people, and this role exists to rebuild how it plans, executes and reports at scale. This isn’t Product Operations because it’s fashionable, it is a genuine organisational transformation mandate at the intersection of strategy, business operations and technology. You’ll combine structured thinking, data, execution and executive communication to create clarity for leadership, alignment across teams and visibility for a demanding CEO and board. What You'll Do You will design and continuously refine a scalable operating model for an international Product & Engineering organisation, balancing innovation-friendly autonomy with the structure required for growth, as Product Operations Director. You will translate technology and business strategy into clear priorities, measurable outcomes and practical operating rhythms, embedding accountability from roadmap through to delivery. You will own the data and reporting layer for Product & Engineering, building dashboards, KPIs and management information that give the CPO, CEO and board real-time visibility and turning complex operational detail into compelling executive narratives. You will personally lead organisational change initiatives end to end, diagnosing issues, shaping solutions, aligning stakeholders across Europe, India and the US, and staying close to implementation until results are proven. You will strengthen cross-functional collaboration, simplifying how distributed teams make decisions, plan capacity and coordinate on critical initiatives. You will champion an AI-first approach to Product Operations, experimenting with automation, intelligent workflows and emerging tools to reduce overhead, improve decision-making and increase organisational effectiveness. You will act as a strategic operational partner and critical friend to technology leadership, offering insight, challenge and support on performance, risk and investment decisions. What You'll Bring You have a strong foundation in business strategy, management consulting, Strategy & Operations or organisational transformation, combined with hands-on delivery inside a scaling tech or SaaS business, and experience relevant to the Product Operations Director role. You have proven experience designing and implementing operating models, metrics and rhythms that have materially improved execution, accountability and organisational performance. You have executive-level communication skills and presence, with evidence of working directly with a CPO/CTO, CEO and board, and of turning complex data into clear, actionable stories. You have a track record of leading change across international, geographically distributed teams, ideally including close collaboration with Product and Engineering functions. You have strong analytical and operational discipline, including building or owning dashboards, KPIs, executive reporting and performance visibility for senior leadership. You have practical AI literacy and curiosity, using AI and automation to streamline workflows, enhance insight and drive better decisions, coupled with a proactive, commercially minded and detail-attentive approach. What's On Offer Base salary £130,000 – £140,000 plus performance-related bonus, with flexibility for exceptional experience. Fully remote working from the UK, collaborating with Product & Engineering teams across Europe, India and the United States. 25 days’ annual leave, 5% employer pension contribution, private medical cover, life assurance and group income protection. Direct partnership with an experienced technology leadership team, regular interaction with the CEO and meaningful exposure to the board. The opportunity to reshape how a global software organisation operates during an ambitious growth phase, with real authority to introduce new approaches and make change stick. A technology environment investing heavily in AI, with the freedom to challenge existing processes, explore new tools and build more intelligent ways of working. If you’re a Product Operations Director who wants to own a genuine organisational transformation, combining strategy, data and execution at the heart of a global software business, this role gives you the platform and visibility to do it.

As a product engineer embedded in a small, senior team at our client, a growing healthtech company based near King’s Cross, you will own significant slices of a safety-critical platform used in regulated healthcare settings. You will be hands-on, an individual contributor focused on product outcomes, designing, building and scaling services from first principles with the autonomy to make technical decisions stick. With a low-meeting culture, zero legacy code and colleagues who are all staff-level engineers with 7+ years’ experience, this is a place for experienced engineers who want to think in products, not tickets. What You'll Do As a product engineer, own and develop one or more product areas end to end, from shaping solutions with Product Leads to seeing your services used daily in clinical environments.

Write clean, well-tested code using patterns like DDD and CQRS, keeping the codebase modern through proactive refactoring and avoiding unnecessary technical debt. Collaborate with DevOps engineers to ensure smooth deployments, observability and reliability across the stack as your features scale. Investigate, troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across the full application stack, using them as opportunities to harden the platform. Help shape engineering practices that support clinical risk, information security and service-management standards such as DCB0129, ISO 13485, ISO 27001 and ISO 20000. What You'll Bring 7+ years’ experience as a full-stack or backend engineer building complex web applications in product-focused teams. Strong PHP skills and experience with modern frameworks such as Symfony or Laravel, plus confidence with JavaScript, CSS and ORMs like Doctrine. Solid understanding of relational databases, ideally PostgreSQL, and how to diagnose and solve performance and scalability issues. Exposure to patterns like Domain-Driven Design and CQRS, and a track record of handling demanding non-functional requirements in production systems. You communicate clearly and collaborate closely with Product, DevOps and other engineers, and you will be in the King’s Cross office at least four days per week to deliver excellent user experiences. A STEM degree or equivalent grounding in software engineering fundamentals, and a desire to use your skills for positive impact in healthcare. What's On Offer £100,000–£120,000 base salary. Permanent, predominantly on-site role in a modern King’s Cross office (minimum four days per week). A senior, product-focused engineering team with a low-meeting culture, where individual contributors have real autonomy and ownership. The chance to work with a modern PHP/Symfony/Laravel and PostgreSQL stack, without legacy frameworks or inherited technical debt.
