Get back in the market in 72 hours.
Not in 3 months.
LinkedIn, resume, outreach messages, target companies, and interview prep for directors and VPs in transition. Delivered ready to use.
30 minutes. No pitch. Just an honest look at what's working and what's not.
THE PROBLEM
The rules changed while you were busy leading.
You haven't searched for a job in years. Maybe a decade. The last time you were in the market, a strong resume and a few calls to your network were enough.
That's not how it works anymore. 30% of posted roles are ghost jobs. Recruiters are buried under thousands of applications. And the people getting hired at your level aren't applying at all — they're being referred by someone who already knows their story.
The problem isn't your experience. It's that nobody outside your last company knows how to talk about what you actually do.
WHAT YOU GET
Everything you need to re-enter the market. In 72 hours.
30-minute strategic intake
We get on a call. I learn your career, your targets, what's not working. This shapes everything else.
Full LinkedIn rewrite
Headline, About, Experience, Featured section. Written in your voice, tailored to the roles you're targeting.
Tailored application materials
Resume and cover letter frameworks built around your target role cluster. Not one generic version.
10 personalized outreach messages
Warm intros to specific people at your target companies. Written to start conversations, not pitch.
Target company strategy
20 companies with rationale: why each one, who to reach, and how to get in.
Interview prep brief
Your key narratives, anticipated questions, and talking points for the roles you're targeting.
Two revision rounds
We get it right. You review, we refine.
Executive outplacement firms charge $2,500 to $10,000 for less. Career coaches run $300 per session and take months. A director losing $200K in salary is burning $16,700 every month without traction. $997 is one week of that.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This is for the person who's never had to "job search" before.
You've been a Director, VP, or Head of [function] for years. You got your last two roles through relationships, not applications. Now the company restructured, or the funding dried up, or the CEO decided AI could replace your team.
You know you're good. But your LinkedIn reads like a job description. Your resume lists responsibilities, not the strategic thread that connects everything you've done. And the outreach messages you've been drafting sound like everyone else's.
You don't need a resume service. You need someone who understands what gets people hired at your level to rebuild how you show up in the market.

WHY ME
I've been on both sides of the hiring table.

I'm Manav. I've spent 15+ years leading teams and companies, from running a 200-person hospitality operation in Mexico to leading product at AI and tech companies. I've hired directors and VPs. I've been the person reading LinkedIn profiles and deciding in 10 seconds whether someone was worth a conversation.
I kept seeing the same thing: accomplished leaders with great track records showing up to the market with materials that made them invisible. The experience was there. The story wasn't landing. So I started doing this for people directly. I review your career, figure out what's not coming through, and rebuild everything — your LinkedIn, your resume, your outreach, your target list — so it actually reflects what you bring to the table.
I also built Grapevines, an AI career strategy product, from scratch. I use it to accelerate the research and drafting, which is how I deliver in 72 hours instead of 3 weeks. But every strategy call is me, and every deliverable gets my review before it reaches you.
FAQs
Can someone else really capture my career story?
That's actually the point. You can't read the label from inside the jar. I've sat on the hiring side for years. I know what lands in 10 seconds and what gets skimmed. The outside perspective is what makes it work.
How is this different from a resume writing service?
Resume services rewrite your bullet points. This is a complete career package: who you're targeting, why those companies, who to reach at each one, what to say to them, and how to tell your career story in a way that makes hiring managers pay attention. The resume is one piece of a larger package.
I can use ChatGPT for this. Why would I pay $997?
ChatGPT gives you generic output because it doesn't know what actually gets directors hired. It can't tell you that your resume reads like a job description instead of a strategic narrative. It can't identify the 20 companies where your background is a genuine advantage. And it doesn't have the context of how hiring works at your level. This is strategic judgment, not text generation.
What if I'm not sure what roles I'm targeting?
That's what the strategy session is for. Most people at this level have a general direction but haven't narrowed it. We figure that out together before I build anything.
Do you offer a lower price or payment plan?
The $997 reflects the depth of work: a 30-minute call, full LinkedIn rewrite, tailored resume, 10 outreach messages, 20-company target strategy, interview prep, and two revision rounds. That's $2,500+ worth of services at standard executive career coaching rates. If you're weighing the cost, consider that a $200K director is losing $16,700 every month without traction. One good conversation from the outreach strategy pays for the package many times over.
What's the turnaround?
72 hours from the intake call to your first delivery. Two revision rounds after that, typically completed within a week.
