Managing Director in Manchester

Club Executive AND Digital are a tech company focused on accelerating digital delivery and dedicated to closing the digital skills gap. We’ve been helping organisations build better digital products and stronger digital teams since 2014. We believe our work should always make a remarkable impact for our clients. We do this through our regional offices (or ‘Clubs’) building strong relationships with our partners, so that they are always prioritised by a team within close proximity. This unique model has driven success for our clients and ourselves, evidenced by our remarkable organic growth since 2014. Today we number c. 750 people with Clubs over the UK, Europe and the USA, with ambition for global expansion. Our unique Club model combines the agility of a small company with the strength and scale of a large organisation. Each Club is a self-contained unit of around 60 people with its own leadership team, clients, and commercial targets. Clubs have autonomy over their operations, from people and client management to budgeting and delivery, creating a close-knit, entrepreneurial environment. Join us - and help us fulfil our mission to close the world’s digital skills gap.
