We’re looking for a senior professional to lead and grow Mattioli Woods’ adviser partnership and transition proposition - a structured, adviser-first approach designed to help financial advisers transition their businesses with greater confidence, certainty and optionality. This is not traditional recruitment. And it is not volume-led, it's about understanding what advisers have spent decades building, recognising where they are in their journey, and helping them explore what the next chapter could look like. The proposition combines income underwriting, legal support, lead generation and a pathway to future liquidity, while allowing advisers to move at a pace that feels right for them and their clients. Why this role is different: The advisers you’ll be speaking to are experienced professionals and business owners. They are not going to be rushed - and they shouldn’t be. Your role is to build trust, understand motivations, identify opportunities and guide conversations thoughtfully over time. The conversion follows from the relationship, not the other way around. It is a longer game. But for the right person, it is a far more meaningful one. This is also an opportunity to help shape one of the most adviser-centric growth initiatives in the UK wealth management market. You’ll play a central role in defining how Mattioli Woods supports succession, transition and growth for high-quality advisers in the years ahead. What we're looking for: • deep understanding of the UK financial adviser and wealth management market, • exceptional relationship-building and influencing skills, with the emotional intelligence to navigate complex, long-term conversations, • the ability to explain sophisticated commercial structures in clear, compelling language, • strong commercial judgement and the credibility to engage senior advisers and business owners, • disciplined pipeline management, with excellent attention to detail and follow-through, • resilience, patience and professionalism - understanding that timing is often more important than pressure, • a naturally consultative and relationship-led approach, • experience within financial services recruitment, adviser acquisition, IFA consolidation, succession planning or strategic business development is highly desirable What you'll do: • build and maintain a high-quality pipeline through proactive outreach, referrals, professional networks and targeted campaigns, • develop strong relationships with advisers considering succession, transition or growth opportunities, • identify advisers approaching key inflection points in their business or career, • lead exploratory discussions that uncover motivations, ambitions, constraints and timing, • explain a sophisticated proposition simply, credibly and without jargon, • work closely with Marketing and E-Business teams to create content, campaigns and nurture journeys, • own the relationship journey from first conversation through to successful onboarding, • work cross-functionally with leadership, legal and compliance teams to structure and deliver successful adviser transitions, • maintain clear pipeline visibility and conversion management through CRM platforms including HubSpot and Xplan, • use market feedback and adviser insight to continually refine the proposition and strengthen market positioning About Mattioli Woods: Mattioli Woods is one of the UK’s leading providers of wealth management and employee benefits services. For decades, we’ve helped individuals, families and businesses build greater financial confidence through long-term, relationship-led advice. Today, we combine deep technical expertise with the scale, infrastructure and ambition of a growing national business - while still retaining the entrepreneurial mindset that built the firm. We believe great businesses are built through great people, thoughtful advice and long-term thinking. What's in it for you: • competitive salary and performance-linked incentive structure, • hybrid working model combining home and Leicester office-based collaboration, • the opportunity to shape and scale a strategically important national growth initiative, • access to a highly experienced leadership team and strong internal infrastructure, • 34.5-hour working week, • 25 days’ holiday plus statutory holidays, increasing with service, • pension scheme with 5% employer contribution, • health cash plan, life assurance and group income protection, • ongoing training, development and long-term career opportunities within a supportive and ambitious culture If you believe the best commercial relationships are built through trust, credibility and long-term thinking - and you want to help shape a different kind of adviser transition model - we’d love to hear from you.

Blue Light Card. Individually great, together unstoppable The Role and the Team MMIB, our Money, Motoring, Insurance and Bills vertical, is one of the most strategically important and evolving categories in the business. It has enormous growth potential, and thanks to recent investment backing, an ambitious plan to become the trusted financial wellbeing and savings platform for frontline workers. Were looking for a Senior Partner Manager to take real ownership of a portfolio of commercial partnerships across financial services categories. Youll be responsible for the full partner lifecycle, from prospecting and onboarding through to ongoing account management, negotiation, and joint campaigns. The role has two equally important strands. Around half of your time will sit within the day-to-day commercial engine of MMIB, managing partnerships and driving category performance. The other half will be focused on the bigger strategic bets the team is pursuing, to move BLC beyond a savings marketplace and into a platform that helps members understand, navigate, and take control over their money management. What You'll Do Own a portfolio of financial services partnerships, managing performance, relationships, and commercial agreements to deliver member value and revenue growth. Develop and execute partner-level strategies across your categories, including identifying new distribution channels, improving commercial terms, and enhancing attribution. Negotiate contracts and commercial arrangements with new and existing providers, balancing member benefit with business objectives. Collaborate with marketing, CRM, and product teams to deliver joint campaigns and initiatives that drive member engagement and uptake. Support the Head of Strategic Partnerships in shaping and delivering the broader MMIB strategy and transformation plan. Use data and insight to monitor partner and category performance, recommend improvements, and inform strategic priorities. Work closely with Legal, Risk, and Compliance teams to ensure all partner activity meets FCA requirements and relevant regulatory frameworks. Act as a visible and well-connected point of contact for MMIB, keeping internal stakeholders informed and aligned on partner activity and pipeline. What You'll Bring Proven experience in partnerships or account management within Fintech, B2C financial services, or price comparison. Experience working in a digital-first or app-led business, with a track record of collaborating with marketing, product and engineering, and legal risk and compliance teams. Strong commercial acumen, with a demonstrable track record of negotiating and managing complex partnerships that deliver measurable results. Experience building and executing strategies at a category or product level, with the confidence to take ownership from initial idea through to delivery. Familiarity with FCA regulation and Consumer Duty, with an ability to navigate compliance requirements without using them as a reason to move slowly. An analytical, insight-driven approach to decision-making, with comfort using data and KPIs to assess performance and set direction. Strong collaborative instincts and the ability to work effectively across functions, with stakeholders at a range of levels. Experience with project-based or initiative-led work, such as product launches or new proposition development, would be a welcome addition. Our Culture Our mission is simple make heroes happy.

Tight-knit teams of talented people working together and working hard to get things done and drive results.

After delivering our 20% market share goal of "one in five" in 2023, we have launched our new goal - Mission 365 - targeting £365 million of sales. We are currently recruiting for a Financial Controller to lead and strengthen the Group's financial accounting function. In this pivotal role, you'll oversee statutory reporting, consolidation, audit, tax, treasury, and property accounting, ensuring accuracy across areas such as corporation tax, VAT, and cash forecasting. With a strong focus on governance, you'll embed effective financial controls and maintain compliance with accounting standards and regulatory requirements, safeguarding the integrity of financial reporting. You'll lead and develop the financial accounting, transactional, and credit control teams, driving high performance and setting clear standards for excellence. Taking ownership of the external audit process, you'll work closely with auditors to deliver a smooth and efficient year-end, while also supporting Board and Audit Committee reporting and engaging with senior stakeholders.

A solid working knowledge of accounting systems-including general ledger, purchase and sales ledger, bank reconciliations, and EDI-is essential, alongside a strong grasp of core finance processes such as balance sheet reconciliations, tax, treasury, FX planning, and cash and working capital management. You'll also bring experience of external audit, an understanding of the wider regulatory environment (including corporation tax, PAYE, VAT, statutory accounts, and PLC reporting requirements), and a track record of contributing to the production of year-end reports and accounts, including published "glossy" reports. What we'll do for you In a culture where hard work is recognised and great results are rewarded; you can look forward to a company bonus that will give you a share of our success (up to 30% of your base salary). Then there's a company car/car allo wance, private medical, generous staff discount, pension and life assurance, a holiday allowance that increases with length of service and a wide range of other benefits.
