  &lt;p&gt;We are not short on ideas (&lt;em&gt;mashups, APIs, AJAX interfaces, personalisation, trigger-based alerts, dynamic feeds etc&lt;/em&gt;) and we have the platform and&#160;the data to do what we want. &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;E-consultancy sits in a central and highly independent position within the internet industry, with client teams on one side and agencies / tech vendors on the other.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;We have about 45,000 registered users, pretty much all of them internet pros, including some very&#160;well-known names. We remain privately-owned. And we're based in Central London.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;So if you know anyone who fancies having a large - and already very successful - website as his/her personal playground in their bid for true greatness, then do &lt;a href="mailto:chris@e-consultancy.com?subject=Head%20of%20Web%20Dev%20-%20E-consultancy&amp;amp;body=I%20promise%20I%20am%20not%20an%20agency..."&gt;get in touch&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;The successful candidate will report to the CTO and will be working with the senior management team on a daily basis, to help deliver our ambitious ideas.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;blockquote&gt;
    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;strong&gt;Role &amp;amp; Responsibilities&lt;/strong&gt;

    &lt;p&gt;
      &lt;strong&gt;Other &lt;/strong&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;&#8226; Excellent understanding of online marketing and the web industry. &lt;br /&gt;&#8226; Excellent understanding of usability, accessibility, search engine optimisation, analytics and tracking. &lt;br /&gt;&#8226; Web agency experience a plus. &lt;br /&gt;&#8226; Hands on graphics knowledge i.e. Flash, Fireworks, Photoshop, ImageReady. Ability to work with front end designs, make small cosmetic changes and cut images. &lt;br /&gt;&#8226; Being able to multi-task, prioritise and work to deadline under pressure. &lt;br /&gt;&#8226; Understanding of the commercial objectives and the ambition to contribute to business success &lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;strong&gt;Recruitment agencies need not apply&lt;/strong&gt;. Ditto headhunters. We smite cold calls for fun around these parts...&lt;/p&gt;
