A system to land Director and VP roles without relying on applications
Our Group Coaching tier is a 6-month container designed to help senior Engineering 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 roles within the 6-month container.
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 close)
- 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
