A system to land Director and VP roles without relying on applications
Our Group Coaching tier is designed to help senior Engineering and Technology leaders reposition themselves, access higher-quality opportunities, and convert conversations into offers.
This is not a course. It's a structured execution system
"Ryan gives you a system, a real tool set, not just advice. If you actually use the tools he provides, you can run a very efficient and focused job search rather than a reactive one."
—Sameera P, VP of Engineering
Most senior-level job searches stall because the approach isn't aligned with how hiring decisions are actually made.
People tend to rely on:
- Applications
- Recruiters
- Passive networking
But at high-level leadership roles, these activities do not lead to the right opportunities.
Our Group Coaching tier is designed to fix this.
It combines:
- A proven methodology
- Practical AI tools
- A community of peers in tech leadership
- Ongoing expert coaching and feedback
So you're not guessing what to do next.
Most clients use this tier to generate inbound opportunities, convert interviews into offers, and land perfect fit roles.
The system is designed to produce results at your level.

"Once I started following the program, my confidence grew as I grew a stronger sense of self. Through each phase of the method, I was really able to pinpoint what I wanted in my next role and in my next company.

"Going through the Group Coaching, you've got the power of the rest of the team, the other members in the Job Hackers Network. It's a very participative experience. It reminded me of one of my MBA professors saying that it's not about just showing up in class and listening to the lecture, it's more about the interaction between the different participants. That's really what makes this an enriching experience."
—Adrien C, Head of Solutions Engineering
This is a strong fit if you:
- Are a Director or VP of Engineering (or similar Technology Leadership role)
- Are actively searching or planning a career move in the next 3-6 months
- Have strong experience but your job search isn't yielding the results you want
- Want to follow a proven, structured approach
This is not a fit if you:
- Are early in your career (IC or early managers)
- Are looking for a shortcut or guaranteed outcome
- Aren't willing to engage in direct outreach and dive into execution
"I had an aggressive goal to not only have a job offer, but have a start date within 8 weeks of joining the Job Hackers Network. The end-to-end process between the initial introduction to the hiring manager to the offer was only 3 weeks. The offer came with a 40% increase in my base salary."
—Anne B, Core Account Executive Large Enterprise
Common Questions
What is the time commitment?
Most clients spend 5-8 hours per week actively executing the program.
That time is typically spent:
● Refining positioning and messaging
● Conducting targeted outreach
● Preparing for and participating in conversations
The program gives you a clear structure for how to use that time efficiently.
How quickly will I see results?
Most clients begin to see momentum within the first few weeks.
This typically looks like
● More relevant networking conversations
● Better responses to outreach
● Stronger positioning in interviews
Some clients land roles within the first few months. Others take longer. The difference is usually tied to how quickly they implement the system.
I'm currently employed, is this program relevant for me?
Yes, and in most cases, that's the best time to go through the program.
When you're employed, you have more leverage, more optionality, and more time to be deliberate in your approach.
About 70% of our clients complete the program while employed.
Why is there a 3-month minimum commitment?
This is a structured 3-month execution container, not a casual subscription.
At your level, meaningful change doesn't come from isolated actions. It comes from applying a system consistently over time.
The 3-month structure ensures you have enough time to:
● Refine your positioning
● Execute outreach
● Iterate based on real-time feedback
● Convert conversations into offers
How is this different from career advice I can find for free?
Most career content out there is general advice.
The Job Hackers Method™ is built specifically for how Director and VP hiring happens: we focus on positioning, targeting, and direct outreach rather than applications.
The system is also designed to be executed, not just consumed. The AI tools, the structured progression, the community of peers, and the deliverables produced along the way are what move you from reading about a search to running one.
