Central Manchester | UK Market | AI Product & Programme

We want Cubiq to be unavoidable. When a business hits a hiring barrier, or a good candidate starts thinking about a move, we want the first name in their head to be ours.

We’re a decent way there. Our consultants get recognised at conferences around the world. We put on the networking events that bring the best people in an industry into one room. When a top employer needs someone who genuinely moves the needle for them, we’re usually the ones making that introduction.

None of that happened by accident and none of it was easy. It came from building genuinely specialist teams and then backing them to go deep rather than wide.

That’s what you’d be joining. You’d build a name in your market faster here than you would anywhere else, because you’d be working somewhere that already has one.

The team you’re joining

Cubiq AI UK is one of our largest teams in both headcount and revenue. We work with the AI labs that make the global headlines, and our consultants are known for holding their own in technical conversations with them.

The team is led by Kiera Johnson, who runs her own AI community events and is fully embedded in industry. Plenty of work comes in as inbound, on word of mouth. BD is done as a unit, and we typically see joiners to the team achieve their career-best deal within six months.

We’re hiring ML consultants, with opportunities across both our Gen AI and AI for Science markets.

Who we’re looking for

People who are great with people, and want to be known in their market.

  • You’ve got a year or more in recruitment, and you’re ready to own a desk
  • You’d be comfortable walking into a room of strangers at an event and leaving with contacts
  • You follow of the AI space, and you could name a few companies building products you like
  • You know your own numbers, and you run your desk like it’s your own business
  • A background in GTM, marketing, commercial recruitment or life sciences helps if you don’t have product experience

How you’ll do your best work here

Credibility in this space takes time to build. We put real money behind shortening that.

  • Thousands invested every year getting you in front of clients and candidates worldwide
  • A full conference season, so you become a known face in the industry rather than a name in an inbox
  • Our own events calendar, which brings the people shaping this field into one room and generates genuine inbound off the back of it
  • A team of actual market experts around you, all of them billing

Most agencies train you until you can bill and then leave you to it. We keep investing, because a consultant who’s unavoidable in their field is worth more to everyone than one who just hits target.

What else is on offer

  • Uncapped commission up to 50%, no threshold, so you earn on every pound you bill
  • A quarterly scheme that accelerates as the year goes on
  • A share scheme, so you own a piece of Cubiq as you grow with us
  • Two company trips a year (Valencia and Lisbon most recently), quarterly achievers, team socials and rotating sales incentives
  • Flexible hours
  • A city centre office with an on-site gym

If something that matters to you isn’t on that list, tell us. We’re flexible and we’d rather sort it than lose someone good over it.

Next steps

If you’d rather have a confidential conversation first, email Kiera at [email protected], or connect with her on LinkedIn. Otherwise, apply and we’ll pick it up from there.
