Director - IVC , Global Solution Application Architect

Wave Group

<div>
 
 
 
 Principal Rectuitment Consultant - Founding Team
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Wave Group
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Dubai, Hybrid
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Competitive Basic Salary + Founding Commission Structure
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 About Wave Group
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Wave Group is a global, AI-augmented talent group: specialist tech recruitment, a recurring-revenue technology consulting practice, and WaveMind, our Slack-native AI hiring product, all powered by proprietary infrastructure trained on our own operational placement data. We have offices in London (HQ) and, from September 2026, Dubai &ndash; with the US opening in 2027.
 
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 
 Wave Talent.
 
 Specialist technology recruitment placing senior talent across the tech org chart, for VC-backed and enterprise clients. The original and largest revenue engine.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 WaveWorks.
 
 SoW-based enterprise consultancy. Multi-workstream technology programmes at seven-figure scale. The growth engine shifting Wave's revenue mix from services to programmes.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Wave Labs.
 
 The group's product and technology arm, and its unfair advantage in every new market it enters. Labs incubated and owns the group's two proprietary assets:
 </li>
 <li>
 
 WaveMind.
 
 Self-serve AI hiring platform, built on Wave Talent's proprietary candidate universe. Shortlists land in Slack within 24 hours, matched on deep insight rather than CV keywords, every candidate human-reviewed. The ARR engine.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 Wave is scaling across the UK, US and UAE off the back of 185% year-on-year growth, a doubling of headcount since January 2025, and 500+ businesses served, from start-ups to global enterprises. Every role is designed to compound against that trajectory, and toward a meaningful exit.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 The Opportunity: Founding Team, Dubai
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Wave Group is opening its first office outside London, in Dubai, and we're building the founding team now.
 
 This role is open to Senior Consultants, Principal Consultants as well as Managers, Associate Directors or Directors.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 This isn't a junior team sent to test the water. Our founders are relocating: Ollie (Co-Founder &amp; Global CEO) and Cam (Co-Founder) will be based permanently in Dubai, and Jake, an ex-founder himself and one of the UK's strongest billers, is relocating from London to run the floor as Director. As a Founding Team Member, you'll have direct access to all three from day one.
 
 
 Four Founding Team Member seats are open in 2026, reporting to Jake, building toward a team of 15 in Dubai by the end of 2027. This is a rare chance to join on the ground floor of a new market with the backing most agencies can only dream of: 650+ existing clients, deep VC and PE relationships, and an in-house AI team building tools to help you work faster and earn more, from day one.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Our edge in the Middle East
 
 
 
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 
 A 650+ client head start.
 
 We'll activate every group client with a Middle East presence from day one, then expand outward &ndash; warm introductions, not cold outreach.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 A top-down market entry.
 
 We partner with tier-one VC and PE funds, including existing relationships with some of the region's best-known funds, reaching the best-funded companies through the people who back them.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Wave Labs, our unfair advantage.
 
 An internal hub of software engineers, product managers and data engineers building the infrastructure that gives us a genuine technical edge, and feeds us clients and candidates from across the globe. No standalone agency in Dubai has anything like it.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 A splits engine competitors can't match.
 
 With 60+ people across the UK and US and growing, work won in Dubai converts into revenue everywhere in the group &ndash; perm splits, contract splits, EU SOW &ndash; and vice versa.
 </li>
 </ul>
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Why Join Wave Dubai?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 <ul>
 <li>
 
 Founding commission structure &ndash; earn up to 45%:
 
 commission is tiered on monthly NFI, from 5% up to 40% at Senior/Staff level and up to 45% at Principal level and above.
 
 No threshold to clear &ndash; you earn from your first AED of NFI &ndash; paid monthly.
 
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Two clear progression tracks
 
 from Principal level: stay an individual contributor and build your own practice, or move into leadership and build a team, with billings plus override.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Fast progression:
 
 hit target for two quarters running and get promoted.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Direct access to Wave's global founders and board from day one
 
 &ndash; Ollie, Cam and Jake are on the ground with you, not remote.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Real ownership:
 
 be one of four founding hires shaping how Wave Group operates across the Middle East, with a clear path to a 15-strong Dubai team by the end of 2027.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Wave Labs' AI tools
 
 feed you commercial intelligence on clients and candidates daily &ndash; the best recruitment tech in the industry.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 A 650+ client warm network
 
 and tier-one VC/PE relationships from day one &ndash; no cold-desk build.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 Hybrid working:
 
 three days in the Dubai office, home on Mondays and Fridays, with allowances for time zones if you're covering Europe or the UK.
 </li>
 <li>
 
 A month remote each summer:
 
 work from anywhere across June, July or August (London HQ is an option).

Manager, Technical Support

Bauer Media Group

Our Team: How We Enrich Everyday Life
 You’ll be joining Bauer Media Audio (BMA), Europe’s biggest commercial audio broadcaster, connecting audiences across nine markets to the music, stories and experiences they love. Bauer Media Audio is making a significant investment in a new in‑house software engineering hub in Manchester. This new hub reinforces Manchester’s position as a key technology centre for Bauer Media Audio, alongside its existing locations. We’re creating a new engineering team to build innovative business-critical solutions that will power Bauer Media’s audio platform of the future. Our team is built around squads, each aligned to a distinct value stream, with a layer of cross-squad roles – people whose expertise and support spans the whole team. Each squad will be led by a Product Manager and Lead Engineer, working in partnership and jointly accountable for their squad's work and outcomes. Squads are intentionally small – typically around five to six engineers – keeping them focused, collaborative, and able to move quickly. Our team thrives on collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to delivering high-quality, scalable solutions, working closely with product and technology peers to ensure our platforms meet the evolving needs of the business and our international markets.
 
The Difference You Will Make
 As Lead Engineer, you will combine hands-on technical contribution with the day-to-day leadership and people management of a software engineering squad within our new engineering team. You will work alongside your team, writing and reviewing code, guiding technical decisions, maintaining engineering standards, supporting the growth of individual engineers, and acting as the connective tissue between your squad and the broader engineering organisation. You'll work closely with the Director of Engineering and leaders from adjacent disciplines to ensure your team’s work aligns with our technical direction and product priorities.
 
You'll lead with empathy and clarity to foster a culture of continuous improvement, shared ownership, and engineering excellence within your squad. Team leadership roles are vital to our success so you will play a key role in helping to create a diverse, welcoming and inclusive environment that is psychologically safe, where everyone can be their authentic selves and do their best work, every day.
 
Your Role
 Grow your team
 
Support your engineers’ career development and build a motivated, high-performing squad through regular 1:1s, performance reviews, and by creating individual growth plans.
 
Mentor junior and mid-level engineers – fostering a continuous improvement culture and helping the team build technical confidence and skills.
 
Contribute technically
 
Write and review code as an active contributor to your squad’s delivery – guiding by example on quality, maintainability, and best practice.
 
Guide architectural decisions and technical direction within your squad and contribute to broader engineering discussions.
 
Drive delivery and planning
 
Plan and manage squad capacity across projects – forecast hiring needs and allocating resources effectively to meet delivery commitments.
 
Participate in roadmap, refinement, and sprint planning sessions – working closely with Product colleagues and adjacent discipline leads, providing technical input, ensuring clear scoping, and surfacing dependencies and risks early.
 
Uphold engineering standards
 
Define and sustain coding standards and review processes – conducting code reviews focused on quality, maintainability, and consistency.
 
Track and manage technical debt within your squad – balancing debt reduction with feature delivery and escalating systemic issues where needed.
 
Ensure operational excellence
 
Participate in the in-hours and out-of-hours incident management rotas, providing hands-on technical support and clear, calm communication during high-pressure situations.
 
Advocate for the ‘you build it, you run it’ ethos – ensuring your squad is equipped to deploy, operate, and support the systems they build as part of a DevOps culture where second line out of hours support is the expectation.
 
What We're Looking For
 
Experience of some but not necessarily all of the following: 
Technical capability
 
Solid hands-on software engineering experience, with sufficient depth across frontend and backend development to guide technical decisions, review code meaningfully, and set the standard for your squad.
 
Able to lead a team across our core stack — a Java Spring Boot, AWS, Kubernetes and Kafka back end, with a TypeScript/React front end — deep expertise in some areas, with the breadth to engage credibly across the rest.
 
A strong grasp of software architecture principles — domain-driven design, service boundaries, and event-driven communication (e.g. via Kafka) — and the ability to guide your squad's technical direction within a broader engineering strategy.
 
Modern engineering practices: CI/CD, containerisation, version control workflows, code review, testing strategies, and observability.
 
Security best practices embedded across the development lifecycle, with the ability to guide your squad to do the same.
 
An awareness of AI trends within engineering and an interest in AI-assisted development tooling – understanding how these tools can improve your squad's productivity and code quality.
 
Leadership and people skills
 
Leading or mentoring with a servant-leadership mindset and a genuine focus on the growth and wellbeing of your colleagues.
 
Communicating with a range of people and organisational roles, managing stakeholder expectations, representing your team’s needs, and fostering collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.
 
Acting as an escalation point for your team, supporting them through complex or time-sensitive situations.
 
Taking an organised and structured approach to planning, managing priorities and keeping delivery on track.
 
Industry and delivery experience
 
Leading a software engineering team or squad in a product-led, multidisciplinary organisation, with a track record of consistent, quality delivery.
 
Agile software delivery practices and methodologies – with the experience to implement the right approach for your squad's context; SCRUM experience is a plus.
 
Adapting to evolving business priorities, communicating calmly and clearly when under pressure.
 
Media, audio streaming, or consumer platform experience is a plus.
 
Working Pattern and Location
 This is a permanent, hybrid, full-time role with an in-office presence twice a week in our Manchester hub. Like all roles in the team, this one includes participation in incident management rotas – we schedule these collaboratively, taking into account everyone's responsibilities and commitments outside of work.
 
Why Join Us?
 
The chance to lead a team building platforms that reach millions of listeners across Europe, with real impact on the products people use every day.
 
A growing engineering organisation investing heavily in its people, practices, and technology – with genuine support for leadership development.
 
A collaborative, product-led environment where engineering has a clear and respected voice in shaping business outcomes.
 
An environment that values empathy, accountability, continuous learning, and engineering excellence.
