Finance DirectorManchester / North West \n £25m+ revenue | c.20% annual growth | International reach | Significant future potential \n This is a great opportunity for an ambitious Finance Director to join a highly successful, values-led business at an exciting point in its growth journey. \n This is a mid tier business that has consistently delivered around 20% year-on-year growth, with revenues doubling every few years. It has an international impact, works on complex and meaningful projects. \n The ambition is clear: continue to grow, invest and build something sustainable for the long term. \n The role \n This isn't simply a role focused on producing the numbers. \n The successful candidate will become a key commercial adviser to the established leadership team, helping the Board understand where the business is heading, what the future could look like and what decisions need to be made to get there. \n You'll be expected to commercially model the future, challenge thinking, provide insight and help shape the next phase of the business. \n There is also potential for the business to consider acquisitions and/or external investment in the future, making this a particularly interesting time to join. \n Initially, the Finance Director won't sit on the main Board, but main Board potential is absolutely there for the right individual. \n What are they looking for? \n This could suit an established FD who still has plenty of ambition and wants to continue developing their experience within a growing, entrepreneurial environment. \n Equally, it could suit a strong Financial Controller / Head of Finance who is ready to step up into their first FD position. \n What's important is the mindset. \n We're looking for someone who: \n\n • Has a strong growth and commercial mindset\n, • Can build trust and credibility with an established leadership team\n, • Is comfortable challenging and influencing rather than simply reporting\n, • Can bring change at the right pace\n, • Enjoys modelling scenarios and helping shape strategic decisions\n, • Wants to grow with the business and play a genuine role in its future\n, • Understands that strong performance will be recognised and rewarded\n\n The culture \n This is a genuinely collaborative and values-led organisation. \n There's a strong emphasis on developing people, collaboration rather than hierarchy and creating long-term relationships with clients. \n The business invests heavily in its people through development programmes, mentoring, coaching, professional qualifications and career pathways. Employee experience is clearly important, with a strong track record of employee engagement and a range of benefits and development opportunities. \n This is an opportunity for someone who wants more than a Finance Director title - someone who wants to help shape what the business becomes next. \n Ideally, the successful candidate will be in place by early January 2027. \n If you're an ambitious Finance Director, or a high-calibre finance leader ready for that next step, and you're looking for a genuinely challenging and rewarding opportunity, I'd be keen to hear from you. \n Apply now or contact Gareth Boyd at Adele Carr Executive for a confidential conversation

We are partnering a fast-growth, PE-backed software business providing enterprise-grade platforms of large social housing and government customers, and a leadership team that's scaling hard without losing the culture that got them here. Right now, all the team is hitting target. The top performer is running at 130%. That's not luck - it's a business with genuine product-market fit, a loyal customer base, and a sales leader who's lived the journey himself: started as a junior rep and is now Head of Enterprise Sales five years later. He's not looking to hire someone to fill a seat - he's looking for the next version of himself. This is a genuine 360°, cradle-to-grave sales role. No SDRs. No inside sales conveyor belt. You own the full cycle - from first conversation to close. You'll work a hybrid hunter/farmer patch: driving migrations and upsells through the existing customer base, while building the credibility and pipeline to land ambitious new logos. Migration deals move fast - 2 to 3 months. New-logo wins are a longer, more strategic play - 12 to 15 months of consultative selling into complex, transformational projects. If you like the quick win and the long game in equal measure, this is your kind of hunting ground. What You'll Be Doing • Managing a mixed portfolio - accounts and new logos, • Selling modular upsells into the existing base, alongside larger platform deals ranging from £60k up to £150k-£500k ARR, • Carrying a quota of ~£600–700k, with uncapped upside, • Owning deals end-to-end - this is a role for someone who wants real ownership, • Building trust fast with technical and non-technical stakeholders alike, right up to senior leadership, • Asking the smart questions that unlock complex, consultative sales What We're Looking For • Solid SaaS sales experience – flexible on industry background, but comfort with mid-to-long, relationship-led cycles is essential, • A genuine hunter/farmer hybrid - as energised by growing accounts as by landing new ones, • Intellectually curious, technologically literate - able to get under the skin of complex platforms and business transformation challenges; strong academics are often a good early signal, • Naturally consultative - you listen, ask sharp questions, and earn trust rather than chase it, • Highly sociable and genuinely likeable - this is a relationship business, full stop, • A self-starter's mentality - driven, commercially sharp, comfortable without a rigid playbook, • A track record of sticking around and achieving - a blip or two is understandable. Why This One's Different • Proven earning potential - a team that's hitting target across the board, with top performers well beyond it, • A leader who's walked the path - promoted from junior rep to Head of Enterprise Sales in five years, and actively building others the same way, • Real optionality - clear routes of progression in sales or other departments, or expansion into the group's wider brands and international teams, • Flexibility — base yourself in London or Manchester, with an Edinburgh satellite opening later this year (typically 2 days in the office required - unless out visiting customers) Compensation & Benefits • £50–55k base plus £25–30k commission, roughly £80k OTE, uncapped., • Strong benefits package, company events, 25 days holiday + bank holidays

Job title: Continuous Improvement Analyst Location: Manchester Contract length: 12 months (potential extension up to 2 years) Work Structure: Hybrid (3 days in the office) Randstad Sourceright, a leading provider of RPO & MSP Recruitment Services is currently recruiting for a Continuous Improvement Analyst to join a World leader offering Products, Solutions and Services across the entire Energy value chain on behalf of a well established manufacturing organisation to play a key role in supporting Manufacturing Operations. The Continuous Improvement Analyst ensures commercial consistency, accuracy, and efficiency across UK tendering and pre-construction processes. Operating as an internal quality and process reviewer, the role audits live and completed bids against gate requirements, validates cost build-ups and risk provisions, and builds Excel-based probabilistic resource forecasting models to predict headcount demand. Additionally, the position drives continuous improvement initiatives, using structured root-cause analysis and workflow automation to eliminate manual rework, standardize bid templates, and enhance cost transparency across the project portfolio. Some of the duties will include but are not limited to: Inspect live and finished tenders to ensure deliverables are complete, internally consistent, and fully aligned with gate requirements. Check cost build-up logic, escalation, indexation, contingency, and risk allocations across the tender portfolio. Compare pricing and quantities across live tenders and past built projects by type, complexity, and location to eliminate discrepancies. Review technical inputs, such as comparing as-built cable schedules against live project quantities, to catch material planning errors early. Review and update tendering documentation, standard templates, checklists, and gate deliverable definitions. Develop and maintain Excel-based resource forecast models that pull project types into actionable demand views. Account for win probabilities, framework standings, and sales stages to forecast realistic headcount demand rather than maximum theoretical capacity. Compare forecasted demand against current employee capacity to highlight required recruitment or contractor needs. Run win/loss/delay scenarios for major pipeline opportunities to support strategic hiring and subcontracting decisions. Refresh, publish, and present monthly capacity updates to management. Identify and prioritize process improvement projects across the tendering lifecycle using data-driven root-cause analysis. Automate manual, repetitive tasks to eliminate rework and free up time for estimators and bid managers. Calculate the expected business benefit of each initiative before launch and measure the realized return after implementation. Host debrief sessions after bid completions to convert feedback into updated templates, procedures, and pricing norms. Essential Requirements: Practical knowledge of commercial terms, cost build-ups, margin analysis, risk/contingency provisions, and escalation/indexation treatments. Strong capability to review tender documents, spot cost errors or inconsistencies across projects, and audit technical data (such as cable schedule quantities). High proficiency in Microsoft Excel to build, structure, and maintain complex resource forecasting models and scenario planning tools. Demonstrated ability to use structured, evidence-based root-cause analysis tools to identify process gaps rather than relying on anecdotal evidence. Experience identifying manual workflow bottlenecks and automating repetitive tasks to reduce rework and improve bid efficiency. Ability to build business benefit cases before initiating improvement projects and measuring realized outcomes post-implementation. Bachelor’s degree or comparable hands-on career experience in commercial, engineering, or analytical disciplines. Willingness to critically evaluate bids and comfortably challenge upward when errors, risks, or inconsistencies are identified. Skilled in producing clear process documentation, translating complex analysis into plain language, and handling confidential commercial data appropriately. Desirable Requirements: Direct experience working within pre-construction, tendering, or commercial bidding environments in the energy, renewables, power transmission, or heavy infrastructure sectors. Exposure to reviewing electrical, civil, or engineering deliverables (such as cable schedules and equipment layouts) during the pre-construction phase. Formal certification in Lean Six Sigma (such as Green Belt) or recognized continuous improvement methodologies. Hands-on experience using workflow automation or visualization software (e.g., Power BI, Power Automate, or VBA) to streamline manual tendering tasks. Proven track record of developing probabilistic pipeline conversion models and capacity planning tools for resource-intensive engineering/bidding teams
