The visionaries who steer the ship, occasionally in the right direction
Dave has over 15 years of experience in saying "let's circle back" and genuinely meaning it every time. A graduate of the School of Hard Knocks (he tripped on the stairs), Dave founded Seems Legit after realising that confidence is 90% of consulting. He once delivered a keynote entirely in buzzwords and received a standing ovation. His calendar is 98% meetings about other meetings, and he considers "synergy" a love language. Dave's leadership philosophy can be summed up as: "If we don't know what we're doing, neither does the competition."
Lisa brings a rare combination of financial acumen and the ability to make spreadsheets look exciting with conditional formatting. She once balanced a budget so precisely that the auditors applauded, then immediately asked if she was sure. Her quarterly reports are described as "technically accurate and emotionally devastating." Lisa holds a CPA certification and a world record for saying "per my last email" with maximum passive aggression. She manages the company's finances with an iron fist wrapped in a velvet glove wrapped in another spreadsheet.
Our experts will tell you what you already know, but with more confidence and better slides
Sarah is a thought leader who has disrupted the disruption space by innovating the way we think about thinking. She holds a PhD in Paradigm Shifting from an accredited institution that definitely exists. Her TED talk, "Leveraging Leverage: A Deep Dive into Shallow Thinking," has been viewed by at least three people, one of whom was awake for most of it. Sarah can turn any 5-minute idea into a 90-slide deck with embedded video transitions that crash the projector. Clients describe her strategic frameworks as "transformatively ambiguous."
Brad once described himself as "basically Tony Stark but for enterprise middleware" and no one had the heart to correct him. He architects cloud-native solutions by drawing boxes and arrows on whiteboards with the intensity of a man defusing a bomb. Brad has strong opinions about microservices, containerisation, and which standing desk is the most ergonomic. He has automated 47% of his own job and is working on automating the remaining 53%, at which point he will presumably disrupt himself. His commit messages are poetry. Bad poetry, but poetry nonetheless.
Karen doesn't just find synergies -- she IS synergy. Certified in Six Sigma, Seven Habits, and at least Eight Things That Sound Impressive On LinkedIn. She once facilitated a cross-functional alignment workshop so effectively that two departments that had never spoken to each other still don't, but now they feel better about it. Karen's deliverables have deliverables. Her action items have action items. She has never met a process that couldn't be improved by adding a Gantt chart and a weekly stand-up. Her out-of-office reply is itself a masterclass in stakeholder communication.
The unsung heroes who make sure the wheels stay on (most of the time)
Mike has optimised more pipelines than a North Sea oil company. He speaks fluent Kanban and dreams in Gantt charts. His morning ritual involves reviewing throughput metrics, adjusting capacity allocations, and microwaving the same cup of coffee three times because operational demands keep interrupting him. Mike once reduced onboarding friction by 340% by eliminating the onboarding process entirely. His desk is a shrine to process improvement, featuring a laminated copy of the Toyota Production System and a motivational poster that says "Lean In, But Not Too Far Because That's A Safety Violation." Colleagues describe him as "relentlessly efficient and slightly terrifying."
Jenny's superpower is telling you that you don't have enough bandwidth while simultaneously demonstrating what insufficient bandwidth looks like. She manages resource allocation across 14 concurrent workstreams, each of which she describes as "the top priority." Jenny holds the company record for saying "I'll need to check capacity" in a single day (47 times). She once created a resource utilisation dashboard so comprehensive that loading it consumed 100% of the server's resources, which she considered a form of meta-commentary. Her Slack status has been "In meetings" since 2023 and at this point everyone assumes it's permanent.
Ensuring our clients succeed, or at least feel successful until the invoice arrives
Alex has mapped the entire client journey and discovered it is, in fact, a circle. Specialising in touchpoint optimisation, Alex believes that every interaction is an opportunity to delight the customer, especially the one where they receive a 47-page satisfaction survey. Alex invented the company's proprietary "NPS+" methodology, which is just regular NPS but the plus sign makes it sound 20% better. Their onboarding calls have been described as "an experience" by clients who couldn't think of a more specific adjective. Alex's email signature includes a personalised emoji for each client segment, which IT has asked them to stop doing six times.
Priya ensures that all stakeholders are not just aligned but hyper-aligned, which she explains is "like alignment but with more intensity and a higher billable rate." She has facilitated over 200 stakeholder mapping sessions, each producing a beautiful chart that no one looks at after the meeting. Priya's client retention strategy is built on what she calls the "Three Pillars of Stickiness": over-communication, branded merchandise, and the fact that switching vendors requires filling out forms. Her quarterly business reviews are so thorough that clients often discover things about their own company they didn't know, such as that they were paying for a service they forgot they purchased.
The person who actually keeps this whole operation from collapsing
Tanya is the only person in the company who knows where the printer paper is stored, which gives her more real power than the CEO. She has transformed administrative chaos into administrative chaos that is colour-coded and filed in triplicate. Tanya's inbox management system has been studied by productivity gurus, none of whom could replicate it because it relies on a complex system of folders, labels, and what she describes as "vibes." She once processed 412 expense reports in a single afternoon and emerged with a thousand-yard stare that Dave still describes as "haunting but efficient." The office supply cupboard is her kingdom, and she rules it with benevolent tyranny. Tanya's official title changes quarterly because she keeps adding words to it. Nobody questions this.
We're always looking for talented individuals who enjoy buzzwords and flexible interpretations of "business casual."
