Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We are seeking an exceptional leader to become our Deputy Chief Executive & Director of Place. As the custodian of place, you will lead a broad and influential portfolio spanning regeneration, economic development, planning, property, transport, environmental services, climate change and major capital projects. Reporting directly to the Chief Executive, you will play a pivotal role in delivering the Council’s ambitions while helping to shape the future prosperity of Pembrokeshire.
This is not a steady-state role. We need a resilient, politically astute and visible leader who thrives in complexity, embraces change and can galvanise teams behind a shared vision. You will bring people together, build a cohesive directorate and work across boundaries to deliver ambitious outcomes for residents, businesses and communities.
