Full-Time Leadership Development ‘Client Lead’
Job Description
T– Summary
Helping leaders evolve faster than the world around them.
We’re up to something incredibly exciting at T–. We’re on a mission to impact 1m leaders at pioneering businesses striving to make a positive impact on the world, whilst building an award winning, rule breaking culture and practice for our people – attracting, growing and rewarding exceptional talent.
Forged in the fires of startups and some of the most successful companies in the world, we specialise in developing leaders in environments of high change, growth and disruption. We work with leaders at pioneering startups and corporates who are building the great businesses of the future and are thrilled to work with companies such as Unilever, Bacardi, Boots, Disney, The Guardian, Ordnance Survey, Sainsburys, Baringa Partners, BCB Group, Monzo, Outsystems, Secret Escapes, loveholidays, Yousician, Checkout.com and Graphcore.
We’re building the world’s most powerful Leadership Generator – a co-created power source of programmes, assessments, strategic offsites and coaching. Scalable. Constantly evolving. Built and activated by the T– Change Makers, a diverse and brilliant global network of 100+ thinkers and practitioners. Psychologists, neuroscientists, technologists, academics, founders and coaches. And our passionate, committed core team of expert practitioners, all of us having built and scaled businesses and been leaders and managers in our own right. Evolving with you, our Leadership Community where we share and learn together and help leaders and organisations grow in change.
We are a research-led organisation. Recently we set out to understand why some leaders thrive in disruption whilst others fail. We spoke to more than 120 organisations of 50 to 120,000 in different industries across the globe to find out what’s really going on in the minds of leaders as they navigate a time of unprecedented change and disruption.
Those findings were combined with insights from interviews with over 150 CEOs in the last 2 years to create a playbook for leaders of the 4th industrial revolution, The Disruptive Leadership Report. The DLR also gave birth to our proprietary model of leadership development.
Why our clients work with us
Because we’re humble. We partner and co-create well as an extension of the client teams we work with. We bring the right people to the right problem. We’re fearless and know that success comes from failure, each of us having discovered this the hard way. We are committed to progress and an iterative approach to design which enables our programmes to learn as fast as our clients will change.
We keep things simple and are as much about the human as the ideas. We bring insightful, cutting edge, provocative stimulus and content. We love brilliant process and execution. Engagements should run on rails. And we manage our client spend as if it’s our own. Most of all we care. Deeply. About our people. Our client organisations. Every single stakeholder we interact with. And the world out there.
What we’re looking for
At only 6 years old, sometimes we wonder how we’ve earned the right to play where we do. Clearly we’re doing something right! And the commercial traction we are experiencing in the market continues to grow exponentially quarter by quarter. We’ve got a brilliant 2024 pipeline and are confident next year will be the best yet!

Our offer:
Salary £50k-£75k commensurate with experience, profit share and performance bonus to 20% dependent upon individual and company performance. Equity discussed after 12 months of continuous employment. Learning and development fund, company pension.
Hiring Process:
Our people are our business and most important asset. The hiring process is designed to deep-dive into your work and professional experience, but we are equally interested in the ‘human’ behind the words. You. Your passions, talents, values and strengths. Your ambitions, where you want to go, how you want to develop, and what is going to enable you to be at your best.
Equally, it is critical that you get to know about us – our DNA, ambitions, plans, what we’re up to, what we’re focused on right now. We are transparent, honest and will paint the most visible picture of T– that we possibly can. If we don’t know, we’ll say so.
For guidance we have a four-stage interview process – through the process, you will have the opportunity to meet a number of the team and build the picture.
- First initial interview, a short video from you in response to questions from us (20 mins)
- Second round ‘competency based’ conversation, T– Director / Partner (60 mins)
- Third ‘task-based’ conversation providing the opportunity to demonstrate your approach to a live client T– brief, T– team (90 mins)
- Fourth round ‘ambition and development’ conversation, T– Partners (60 mins)
After receiving an offer – we’d love to provide the opportunity for you to connect to other members of the team to discuss any final questions or considerations you have. Where appropriate we may also connect you with one of our clients so you can hear directly from them how we work and the impact we create.
Research shows that some people are less likely to apply for a role unless they are 100% qualified. So, if you think you’d be a good fit for this role and you’re excited to join T–, then we’d love to hear about your experience, skills and passion and why we should hire you! T– is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating a diverse environment. We welcome applicants from those who are under-represented in our industry.
