Riaz Gajia reposted thisRiaz Gajia reposted thisHey there LinkedIn! ☺️ 👋 Earlier this year, I made the decision to change my career and begin looking at what could be next. I'm very grateful for the opportunity that I was given to take on the role of Commercial Manager in Kingston, and I'm forever thankful to the people and businesses I got to work alongside in The Smith on a daily basis. If you can, can you please either repost this or comment to help more eyes see this? I'll be ready to start in early to mid May. #OpenToWork About me & what I’m looking for: 💼 After a varied career, I feel that I contribute positively to a company in many different roles. My experience has primarily been in Customer Service, Hospitality, Social Media & most recently Commercial Sales and Operations. 🌎 I’m open to roles in and around the London Area (Based in Kingston upon Thames) as well as Hybrid or Remote roles. ⭐ I’ve previously worked at The Body Coach Online Nutrition Ltd, Fora , and The Boutique Workplace Company.

Riaz Gajia shared thisIf you're a marketing leader, check out Michael Wright's newsletter "CMO Ladder" for some really insightful reading on the US job market. It's some of the best commentary and analysis I've seen from a search or recruitment firm. Well worth a read! 👀Riaz Gajia shared thisLatest #CMOLadder is out. Director+ roles are up. Salaries are transparent (55% of listings). But the interview process is getting weird. Peloton Interactive, in recovery, wants raw human judgment. No bots allowed. Anthropic wants you to automate everything but the final decision. ICF wants an agency leader who can survive a congressional hearing. We vacuumed up 33,061 live marketing roles. We analyzed the salaries. We found the "gotchas" in the fine print. Get the list: https://lnkd.in/ggUBHata

Riaz Gajia shared thisHow do you manage AI in the interview process? I just added this note to our 2nd stage task documents. After weeks of interviewing for our own team, I’ve seen a growing number of candidates presenting AI-generated answers, they couldn't explain or talk about when asked. 😬 I know it won't stop people from using AI tools, but I hope it reminds candidates that if you rely on it too heavily, it can hurt you more than help you. A reasonable request? Or too much for an employer to ask in 2025?

Riaz Gajia liked thisRiaz Gajia liked thisThis LinkedIn post is being written without me even touching the keyboard. I'm using a system called Wispr Flow, which is phenomenal. Turns me into a 150 words a minute typist If you haven't heard of it, you should look into it. BUT, more importantly, I'm going down to #BrightonSEO at the end of April. I'm really excited to reconnect with the search community. This is my 27th year in the industry, bonkers. #BrightonSEO is one of the best shows you can go to for knowledge and networking. Plenty of pubs, kebab shops, cocktail bars. #bdwjb The combination of paid search, paid social and SEO all blended together. First time speakers as well as old hands. Will be weird to not get an ice cream from the ice cream seller who has retired. But one day that will be all of us. It's also the perfect excuse to catch up with old friends, including Dixon Jones from inLinks, who will be there exhibiting and talking about all that is new. It's always exciting to catch up with the Inlinks team (whichever one of their solutions they are promoting) If you're going to be at #BrightonSEO, I'd love to meet up and have a beer at some point. Only two weeks to go now.

Riaz Gajia liked thisRiaz Gajia liked thisCelebrating five years at Virgin Media O2 🎉 We’ve achieved so much as a group over this time, not just in outcomes delivered but in how we do things… obsessing on sticking to agile principles and experimentation led ways of working. Never easy in a big corporate company, but we’ve made it work and it’s delivering results. This marks the end of an era for me as I move into a new role next week. I’m so grateful to Emillie Hill for her trust in me and giving me the opportunity to show what I can do. What an era! I’ve learnt so much in this time and couldn’t have got here without your support. It’s very important to mention that we are nothing without our teams. Thank you to everyone that has played a part in the last five years. There are so many wins, promotions and learnings across the team to celebrate too. It’s been special! Lauren Staker Themba Sweet Emillie Hill Charlotte Golding

Riaz Gajia liked thisRiaz Gajia liked thisDelighted to join Charlton Athletic Football Club as Head of Marketing. The opportunities across men’s and women’s football at the Valley are absolutely massive. It’s a really exciting time to join the club, with everyone I’ve met so far this week wanting to kick this historic club up a few notches. Always nice to get directions to your new office when you step off the train too 😀
