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

Role purpose We are hiring a commercially sharp, research-led Property Finance Demand Generation & Qualification Analyst to identify people and businesses with a genuine, time-sensitive need for specialist UK property finance and convert that demand into permission-based enquiries through an approved campaign journey. This is not a generic telemarketing role. You will combine market research, prospect intelligence, digital outreach, qualification discipline and precise record-keeping to locate relevant property investors, developers, business owners and private clients who may need bridging, auction, refurbishment, commercial or other specialist property funding. The role is 5 hours per week at £13.00 per hour. The weekly activity objective is to research and work a pipeline of approximately 100–200 relevant prospects. The core outcome is quality, consented enquiries — not spam, duplicate leads or forced applications. Quality and compliance always take priority over raw volume. What you will do Research and identify UK prospects with a live or near-term property funding requirement. Prioritise high-intent situations such as auction purchases, chain breaks, refurbishment projects, commercial property, land, development and time-sensitive acquisitions. Use approved channels and messaging to initiate professional conversations and explain how a prospect can request a no-obligation specialist finance discussion. Qualify basic non-advisory facts such as the nature of the property transaction, approximate property value, approximate funding requirement, timescale and willingness to speak with a specialist. Direct interested prospects to the approved tracked enquiry journey supplied after onboarding. Maintain a clean prospecting log showing source, contact date, consent/permission status, outcome and next action. Avoid duplicates, fabricated leads, speculative submissions and any enquiry submitted without the prospect’s genuine knowledge and permission. Report weekly on activity, validated enquiries, contact quality, common objections and market insights. Target market UK property investors and landlords with a current acquisition, refinance or time-sensitive funding requirement. Property developers and refurbishers funding purchase, works or exit timing. Auction buyers working to strict completion deadlines. Businesses seeking finance connected to commercial premises, HMOs, land or property-backed transactions. Private clients facing a legitimate property-chain or timing issue where specialist bridging finance may be relevant. Important boundaries You are not a lender, broker or financial adviser and must never present yourself as one. You must not promise approval, quote unapproved rates, recommend a specific regulated product, negotiate finance, or tell a prospect that they are eligible. Only employer-approved promotional wording, disclaimers, landing pages and tracking links may be used. You must comply with data-protection and direct-marketing rules, respect opt-outs immediately and never use unlawfully obtained personal data. The identity of the finance partner and confidential campaign assets are provided during onboarding and must not be publicly disclosed outside approved promotion. What success looks like A disciplined weekly prospecting pipeline of around 200–500 relevant contacts researched or worked within the agreed five hours. A growing flow of genuine, consented, non-duplicate enquiries from people with a real property-finance need. Accurate records, low invalid-lead rates, strong compliance and professional communication. Useful market intelligence that improves targeting, messaging and future campaign conversion. Who will thrive in this role Experience in lead generation, business development, recruitment sourcing, property, finance, digital marketing or B2B outreach. Excellent online research skills and confidence using LinkedIn, directories, property communities and other approved prospecting sources. Strong written communication and the judgement to distinguish real demand from low-quality or unsuitable traffic. Comfort with performance measurement, spreadsheets/CRM systems and structured qualification. High integrity: you will be expected to protect prospect data, follow scripts and prioritise long-term quality over short-term volume. Compensation and working pattern Pay: £13.00 gross per hour. Hours: 5 hours per week, scheduled flexibly by agreement. Location: Remote within the UK. Any bonus or additional performance payment must be separately agreed in writing.

Our mission is to dominate the betting and gaming industry on a global scale and we need the very best Tech talent to help us achieve this. With our proprietary platform powering everything we do, it's an exciting time to join us. We're pioneering new products and driving more advanced, creative technologies. The result? Unrivalled experiences for millions of customers worldwide. Betfred's Technology department is driven by innovation, and you'll be at the heart of unlocking our platform's potential. So, if you want to help shape the future of betting and gaming, it's time to join us. We have around 250 engineers building and running platforms for a leading digital and retail business in the global betting and gaming industry. We want to use LLMs and coding agents to help them deliver better software, faster, with less wasted effort, and we want to be able to prove that it works. This is a hands-on engineering role. You will work out where AI genuinely helps our engineers and where it does not, build the tooling and workflows that make it work in our real codebases, and measure the results honestly. You will use the best available models, coding agents and open-source tools. We are not looking to build models. There is no settled playbook for this. The tools change every few months and the evidence on what works is mixed, so you will be making judgement calls, documenting them, and revisiting them as the evidence arrives. You will work with our engineering teams, not around them. You will have the backing of the Engineering Director and the CIO, a budget for tools, and the freedom to run experiments, with the expectation that you stop the ones that do not work and report the results plainly, whatever they show. You will not be doing this alone. An external AI adviser with deep applied LLM experience takes part in the selection process and will support you after you join, as a sounding board on tooling, methodology and approach. You own the work and the recommendations. The adviser challenges your thinking and brings outside experience. Map how work flows through our engineering lifecycle, from idea to production, and find where effort, delay and rework actually concentrate. Writing code is often not the constraint. Establish baselines before changing anything, working with engineering, delivery and product teams: cycle time, review time, deployment frequency, change failure rate, time to restore, and developer feedback. Review the AI tools and initiatives already in use or under way across engineering, assess each against evidence of value and cost, and drive forward those that deliver. Close those that do not, or that can be solved better by other means such as conventional automation, a process change or an existing tool. Design and run pilots, with comparison groups where practical, covering AI coding assistants, coding agents, automated code review, test generation, bug triage and fixing, migrations, documentation and onboarding. Build and maintain the integrations that make AI useful in our environment: repository context and instruction files, CI/CD hooks, review assistants, agent workflows that open draft pull requests, and access to issue trackers, logs and documentation through APIs or MCP. Own the evaluation harness for everything you build: test sets, regression checks, tracing and cost monitoring, so we know how often agents are right, what they cost, where they fail, and whether fixed bugs stay fixed. Define how engineers use AI safely and well: pull request size limits, test requirements, accountability for AI-assisted code, and what code and data may go to which tools. Work with Security, Legal and Data Protection on vendor, IP, privacy and code-security controls. Evaluate hosted and self-hosted model options against our requirements for code and data security, and recommend what we should run where. Our code may have to stay inside our own environment, so you will work within real constraints. Coach engineers and win adoption, especially from sceptics, while protecting the development of junior engineers. Choose the right tool for each problem: an LLM, an agent, conventional automation (linters, codemods, better CI) or no change at all, and decide when to build and when to buy. Build the business case: quantify the costs and benefits of what you build, show the return on investment to engineering and executive leadership, and recommend what to scale, change or stop. Report results openly, including costs and failures. Honest negative findings are valued here. Strong professional software engineering experience, including building and operating production software, and the ability to read and critically assess code outside your own main language. Excellent programming and software design skills, and a strong grasp of testing, CI/CD, code review and modern development practice. Hands-on experience building applications with LLM APIs, including tool calling and agentic workflows. A practical understanding of how LLMs and coding agents fail: plausible but wrong code, fixes that mask symptoms, tests gamed to pass, context limits, and cost growth. Day-to-day experience using AI coding tools and agents on real codebases, with an evidence-based view of where they help and where they hurt. Experience integrating with developer systems such as Git platforms, CI/CD, issue trackers and observability tooling. Experience designing evaluations for AI outputs, or comparable experimental rigour. Comfort preparing code, documents and tickets for retrieval using Python and SQL, and working with a data team on anything larger. Credibility with engineers, and the ability to influence without line authority. A pragmatic, experimental mindset, including willingness to stop your own ideas when the evidence says so. Tools and Technologies You will not need every tool below. Equivalent experience with comparable tools is equally welcome: • Languages: Python or a comparable language for tooling and AI services, and comfort working across languages and codebases., • LLM and agent tooling: LLM APIs and open-weight models (provider-hosted or self-hosted), tool/function calling, Model Context Protocol, agent frameworks, and AI coding tools and agents., • Engineering platform: Bitbucket, Jenkins (moving to Harness.io), Docker, Kubernetes, AWS , FastAPI or similar for internal services, and tracing/evaluation tooling. Particularly valuable: developer productivity or developer experience engineering, DORA-style measurement, platform engineering, RAG and vector search, deploying and evaluating self-hosted open-weight models, or experience in a regulated or customer-facing environment such as gambling or financial services. Not required: training models from scratch or research experience. This is an AI engineering role, not an AI research role. Experience running open-weight models yourself, fine-tuning, or working with embeddings is a plus. #J-18808-Ljbffr
