From CTO and Chief Product Officer appointments to specialist engineering and data hires, we secure the technology talent investor-backed businesses depend on. We cover both permanent and interim mandates across European portfolios, working directly with investors and portfolio leadership teams, mandate by mandate.
We deliver across the full technology and data function, from the leadership that sets platform and product direction to the specialists who build, scale and run it.

Every mandate begins with a detailed definition of the role and operating context. We work closely with investors and portfolio leadership teams to understand the capability required, the maturity of the platform or function and the objectives behind the hire.
This often includes platform scalability, engineering leadership, product development priorities and the development of data capability within the business.
We identify the full landscape of relevant technology and data talent across the market. This combines long standing relationships within our network with structured research supported by modern talent intelligence tools, allowing us to identify operators who have scaled platforms, engineering teams or data functions in comparable high growth environments.
Candidates are assessed against the defined brief to ensure close alignment with the mandate. Evaluation considers technical depth, platform architecture experience and leadership capability, alongside the ability to scale engineering teams, product platforms or data capability within fast moving businesses.
We present a focused shortlist with clear rationale for each candidate. Profiles outline relevant experience, strengths and alignment with the brief, allowing investors and portfolio leadership teams to quickly assess fit while we coordinate interviews and manage communication throughout the process.
We support the final stages of the process through offer negotiation, acceptance and onboarding.
This includes advising on compensation structure, managing discussions with candidates and maintaining close communication with both parties to ensure a smooth transition into the role.
For portfolio companies competing for highly sought after engineers, product leaders and data specialists, employer positioning and leadership narrative can play a significant role in attracting the right candidates.
Reign also supports portfolio companies with employer branding to strengthen how leadership opportunities are presented to the market.
