Not enough priced adverts yet to publish a range
We only print a figure once enough adverts on this board have stated one. Until then: state a salary, and pitch it at what the role is worth to you rather than what you hope to get away with.
-
Remote or anchored
A fully remote role draws the whole country and can pay a little under the London figure; an anchored one competes locally and cannot.
-
Greenfield or inherited
Building from nothing is worth more to the right person than running what exists, and they will ask which it is.
-
Someone senior to learn from
A strong lead in the team is worth thousands on the offer; without one, expect to pay for that experience directly.
