Look, the best leadership jobs are not advertised on job boards or career pages.

I've seen it repeatedly while recruiting for clients from the US, UK, UAE, and EU...

The most exciting opportunities—those with strong compensation, strategic influence, and direct access to the C-suite—are filled through referrals and executive networking.

If you want to land one of these top roles, you need a more strategic approach:

✅ Analyze Your Market – Research where your skills and leadership experience provide the highest value. Growing tech companies, like those above, are prime targets. Clarify your USP and learn how to pitch yourself as the ideal candidate to a small segment of companies.

✅ Connect with Key Stakeholders – Hiring decisions at this level don’t start with recruiters—they start with CTOs, VPs, and investors. Build relationships so you are on their radar when a new position opens.

✅ Position Yourself as the Solution – Your LinkedIn presence, personal brand, and thought leadership should signal decision-makers that you’re the right person to lead their engineering team through growth and transformation.
