Own Every Moment at NetApp At NetApp, your ideas power innovation. We lead in intelligent data infrastructure—delivering unified storage, integrated data services, and solutions that help organizations unlock the full potential of their data, from AI to multicloud. Ready to innovate and contribute to our path to $10B? Here, you'll collaborate with passionate teams, tackle real-world challenges, and see your impact in how customers transform and grow. If you're ready to bring curiosity, creativity, and drive to every moment, NetApp is where your journey begins. Join teams that innovate to elevate, drive results, and excel together across every function. NetApp sits on 60% of the world's unstructured data. AI runs on unstructured data, and our customers' data is already with us, so we start most AI conversations from a position nobody else has. We are building the engine that turns that into business, and both halves of it are already here: Solution Architects who design the data infrastructure for training, inference, agent runtimes and AI-ready data lakes, and business development people who build the propositions and target lists that open those conversations. What we want now is to run them as one team, with one plan, going after the AI opportunity in EMEA/LATAM proactively rather than one deal at a time. That is this role. You lead the AI Solution Architects and the AI business development / GTM profiles across EMEA/LATAM, and you are accountable for a commercial result: incremental AI pipeline, a better win rate, and AI bookings growth year over year. Build the value propositions with the teams who have to sell them Own our AI value propositions across the four workloads, built together with your architects and business developers, Area sales, Marketing and the partners we sell with. Each one needs an architecture we can defend, the accounts it applies to, and the competitive position and proof points the field will be asked for. Scale what works Take a proposition that produces opportunities in one country and make it work across the region, run by people who did not build it. Stop the motions that do not convert. Scale through partners as well, particularly where the buying decision follows a validated reference architecture. Be our AI voice in EMEA Be the person the market, the press and our own field look to for NetApp's view on AI data infrastructure: inference economics, agent runtimes and data governance, European sovereignty and regulation, and the competitive stacks. Build the same standing in the people around you. Hire and develop the talent this depends on Hire above the bar we have today across two quite different profiles, set the AI technical bar for the wider SE and SA community, build succession, and choose deliberately where the team spends its time. Make our SEs and Client Executives effective on AI workloads Get several hundred Systems Engineers and Client Executives to the point where they can open, qualify and lead an AI workload conversation on their own accounts. Judge the enablement on the opportunities they create afterwards. Build the relationships where platform decisions get made Hold your own relationships with the CTOs, chief architects and heads of AI and platform who decide where their AI workloads will run, maintained between deals, so we are in the conversation before the architecture is set. Basic qualifications • 12+ years in enterprise technology including strategic and people leadership, with 5+ years managing people. Experience leading both technical (pre-sales, solution architecture) and commercial (business development, GTM) profiles, or a credible case for why you can., • A record of creating pipeline in a new or emerging segment, with the numbers and the plays behind it., • Real fluency in the AI infrastructure stack, deep enough to set a bar rather than repeat one: GPU clusters and reference architectures, training and fine-tuning pipelines, inference serving and its economics, agent runtimes and frameworks, RAG and vector search, data lake architecture, and where the data layer sits in each. You should be able to hold your own with a CTO or Head of AI without an architect in the room., • Commercial and dimensioning judgement: able to test whether a solution is right-sized and defend a design choice, including a smaller one, under pressure., • Able to influence without authority across sales, technical, marketing and partner organisations in a matrixed, multi-country environment., • Executive presence at C-level, including when the outcome is uncertain., • Fluent English and willing to travel across EMEA/LATAM. Preferred qualifications • Relationships in the European AI ecosystem — sovereign AI programmes, neoclouds, AI ISVs, GPU vendors, integrators, AI investors., • Experience building a GTM motion from scratch, and the team that runs it., • Understanding of EU AI and data sovereignty regulation, including public-sector procurement., • Experience with hyperscalers and partner-led sales models., • A storage or data infrastructure background helps but is not required. If you come from storage, show us AI deals you have been in and a current read on the market., • Another European language. You start on the inference proposition with two architects, a business developer and an SE manager, arguing about whether the cost-of-serving case holds up with a customer who already has GPUs. Mid-morning, the head of platform at a large European bank, on their AI roadmap rather than on anything of ours. Before lunch, the architecture review on our largest inferencing deal, where you push back on a design that won't survive the customer's second model. Afternoon is a deal clinic with a dozen SEs and CEs taking the new proposition into their own accounts next week. Then an analyst briefing, and half an hour reworking the proposition because last quarter's three losses all turned on the same objection. At NetApp, we embrace a hybrid working environment designed to strengthen connection, collaboration, and culture for all employees. This means that most roles will have some level of in-office and/or in-person expectations, which will be shared during the recruitment process. Equal Opportunity Employer: NetApp is firmly committed to Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and to compliance with all federal, state and local laws that prohibit employment discrimination based on age, race, color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, religion, disability or genetic information, pregnancy, protected veteran status, and any other protected classification.

We provide a full scope of legal services to the world’s preeminent corporations and financial institutions. \n Our vision is to be a world class business, profitable, ambitious, cooperative and considerate, supporting our clients and people through our global business principles of Quality, Unity and Integrity. \n With over 7,000 employees worldwide, our culture is the thread that connects us.

Establish pragmatic guardrails that enable appropriate use cases to progress whilst longer-term foundations are developed.\n, • Partner with client-facing, legal and business services leaders to identify, prioritise and deliver the AI use cases with the greatest potential in each of their areas, bringing capability, method and delivery support whilst each function retains ownership of change within its own operations.\n, • Partner with business and functional leaders to build the organisational capability required for AI adoption, including workforce planning, skills development, role evolution, operating model changes and the firm's AI champions network.\n, • Set and maintain the frameworks through which the transformation operates, including pilot evaluation, scaling, agentic AI governance, business case assessment, vendor onboarding, benefits measurement, responsible use and AI risk management.\n, • Lead value measurement and executive reporting, providing the Steering Board and Management Committee with a clear view of progress, adoption, benefits realisation and where further decisions are required.\n, • Lead and develop the Central AI Team, including AI Programme Managers, Change Managers and transformation specialists, and champion the transformation across the firm.\n\n Key Responsibilities \n We are open on background, and as interested in candidates from technology, financial services, consultancy and other complex professional environments as from the legal sector. The successful candidate will combine strategic judgement, AI fluency, transformation leadership and the ability to move senior groups from discussion to decision. \n Experience \n • Leading cross-functional programmes or transformation in a large, complex organisation, where success depended on influence, credibility and evidence.\n, • Shaping transformation strategy or portfolio strategy and managing it through to execution, with clear targets, milestones and value measures.\n, • Advising senior leaders on consequential decisions and bringing them clear, well-founded recommendations.\n, • Strong enough AI fluency to engage credibly with business, technology, data, risk and security leaders, and to understand the implications of emerging capability.Experience operating across strategy and execution: equally able to shape a board-level rec

We are pleased to be partnering with a nationally focused organisation working across energy efficiency, sustainability and the delivery of government-backed programmes to recruit a Finance Systems Project Manager on a two-year fixed-term contract. \n The organisation manages significant grant and loan programmes on behalf of government and local authorities, alongside a growing portfolio of commercial work. It is now embarking on a major finance systems transformation, replacing a long-established legacy system with Microsoft Business Central. \n This is a hands-on project management role rather than a pure systems accounting position. The successful candidate will lead the finance side of the implementation, working closely with the Head of Finance, IT, external implementation partners, a Business Analyst and a Systems Accountant. \n About the role \n The organisation has recently signed with its implementation partner and is currently in the design phase of a two-year programme. \n You will take responsibility for managing the finance systems project from design through implementation, integration, testing, adoption and delivery. \n Key responsibilities will include: \n • Leading the implementation of Microsoft Business Central across Finance \n * Translating finance requirements into effective system design \n * Helping design dimensions, project codes, reporting structures and workflows \n * Supporting the design of contract and timesheet functionality to allow accurate measurement of project profitability \n * Managing integrations with existing CRM platforms, payroll, HR systems and the organisation's developing data environment \n * Working closely with the Systems Accountant on UAT and integration testing \n * Managing external implementation partners and internal stakeholders \n * Maintaining project governance, including RAID logs, change logs, risks, dependencies and decision-making structures \n * Supporting benefits realisation and ensuring the project remains aligned with its agreed objectives \n * Ensuring appropriate governance and controls are maintained throughout the programme \n * Working with a future Change and Adoption Manager to support successful implementation across the organisation \n The finance environment is slightly more complex than a standard implementation. A significant proportion of the organisation's activity relates to managing large government-backed grant and loan programmes, with multiple operational systems feeding into Finance. \n There is also a need to improve how the organisation records time against contracts and projects, allowing it to better understand delivery costs and profitability across its commercial activity. \n The ideal candidate will bring \n • Strong experience delivering finance systems implementation or transformation projects \n * Good practical knowledge of finance systems and accounting processes \n * Experience moving from a legacy finance system to a modern ERP environment \n * A good understanding of system configuration, including dimensions, coding structures and reporting requirements \n * Strong project management skills and familiarity with RAID logs, change control, risk management and governance structures \n * Experience managing integrations between finance systems and other platforms \n * Confidence working with APIs, data flows and system interfaces \n * Experience working with external implementation partners \n * The ability to understand detailed finance requirements and translate them into practical system solutions \n * Strong stakeholder management skills across Finance, IT and operational teams \n You do not necessarily need to be a qualified accountant. More important is a strong understanding of finance processes and systems, combined with demonstrable experience of successfully managing complex systems projects. \n Experience with Microsoft Business Central would be useful, but candidates with strong experience of other ERP systems such as NetSuite, Dynamics or similar platforms will also be considered. \n The team \n Finance is a relatively small team of around 15 people, split broadly between London and Edinburgh. \n The Head of Finance is highly systems-literate and will be closely involved in the programme. There is also a strong internal IT team, a dedicated Business Analyst and a Systems Accountant who will support areas such as UAT and integration testing. \n The programme is therefore well resourced, with this role focused primarily on ensuring the project itself is properly managed and delivered. \n Key details \n • Salary: c.£70,000, with some flexibility for the right candidate \n * Contract: Two-year fixed-term contract \n * Location: Highly flexible / predominantly home-based \n * Office base: London or Edinburgh depending on location \n * Travel: Occasional team and project meetings across the UK \n * Start: As soon as possible \n * Programme stage: Design phase \n * System: Microsoft Business Central \n There is no regular office attendance requirement. Teams are spread across the UK and generally meet in person when there is a specific reason to do so. Occasional travel for project meetings and wider team sessions will be required. \n This would suit someone who combines strong finance systems knowledge with disciplined project management and who is comfortable taking ownership of a significant implementation. \n To apply or find out more, please submit your CV or contact us for a confidential conversation.
