Instead, you'll have the opportunity to build on and mature existing BIM processes, improving consistency, governance and adoption while ensuring that standards remain proportionate and practical.You'll have a strategic remit, but this is very much a hands-on role. You'll need to be comfortable developing standards and processes while also understanding the realities of delivering live multidisciplinary projects.Key responsibilities\n\n • Take ownership of BIM and information management practices across the business.\n, • Develop and continually improve BIM governance, processes, standards and workflows.\n, • Ensure the consistent and proportionate application of BIM across projects and systems.\n, • Support design and installation teams with practical BIM and information management guidance.\n, • Help mature the organisation's approach to information management in line with ISO 19650 principles.\n, • Monitor and respond to ongoing developments within the ISO 19650 suite.\n, • Contribute to the organisation's future BIM accreditation roadmap.\n, • Promote best practice and consistency across multidisciplinary project teams.\n, • Work collaboratively with architects, engineers, designers, project managers and delivery teams.\n, • Provide guidance, support and knowledge-sharing to improve BIM capability across the wider business.\n, • Identify opportunities to improve processes, systems and information workflows.\n, • Balance compliance and governance requirements with the practical needs of project delivery.\nWhat we're looking forYou'll ideally have at least three years' experience within a multidisciplinary design practice, with a strong understanding of how BIM and information management operate across real projects.We're particularly interested in candidates who can combine technical BIM knowledge with strong architectural understanding and who enjoy working with people as much as systems.You should have:\n\n, • Strong knowledge of ISO 19650 principles and information management within the built environment.\n, • Proven experience applying BIM and information management on live projects.\n, • Experience working within a multidisciplinary design environment.\n, • An architectural bias/background, with a good understanding of design processes and workflows.\n, • The ability to translate BIM standards and governance into practical, workable processes.\n, • Confidence working with design, engineering and project delivery teams.\n, • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.\n, • A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach to problem solving.\n, • The ability to influence and drive positive change without unnecessarily overcomplicating processes.\nWhy consider this opportunity?This is more than a conventional BIM management position. You'll have the opportunity to shape and influence the future BIM and information management strategy of an established multidisciplinary business, while remaining close enough to live projects to see the impact of your work.You'll be joining an organisation operating on technically demanding life sciences projects, where effective coordination, information management and digital delivery are critical to successful outcomes.For the right person, this represents an opportunity to take genuine ownership of BIM, work with a broad range of technical professionals and help develop a more mature, consistent and future-ready approach to information management.Interested?If you're an experienced BIM professional with an architectural bias who is looking for a role offering ownership, influence and the opportunity to shape BIM practice rather than simply administer it, we'd be very interested in hearing from you.Apply now for a confidential discussion about the opportunity and your suitability.Important Information: We endeavour to process your personal data in a fair and transparent manner.

Senior Manager – Outsourced Finance\n Manchester | Hybrid working | £65,000–£80,000 \n We’re working with a growing accountancy and advisory firm looking to appoint a Senior Manager within its outsourced finance team in Manchester. \n This is not a traditional accounts role focused purely on year-end work and compliance. \n The team supports growing and established businesses that need additional finance leadership, better reporting or help improving how their finance function operates. Some clients require ongoing outsourced support, while others need assistance with a specific project, systems issue or period of change. \n You’ll take responsibility for a portfolio of clients, overseeing the accounting work while building strong relationships with the people running those businesses. The role combines technical accounting, commercial advice, project work and team leadership. The role\n You’ll be responsible for: \n\n • Leading the delivery of management accounts, statutory reporting and wider accounting support across a portfolio of clients.\n, • Acting as a senior point of contact and understanding what each client actually needs from its finance function.\n, • Reviewing financial information and helping clients make better commercial decisions from it.\n, • Overseeing outsourced finance assignments from initial planning through to delivery.\n, • Supporting clients with one-off projects, including finance-system reviews, process improvements, controls work and financial-information clean-ups.\n, • Identifying weaknesses in existing reporting or processes and recommending practical solutions.\n, • Managing deadlines, budgets and resources across several assignments.\n, • Reviewing work and making sure clients receive a consistently strong service.\n, • Leading, coaching and developing members of the team.\n, • Working alongside colleagues from other specialist areas when a client requires broader support.\n, • Spotting opportunities to introduce additional services where they would genuinely benefit the client.\n, • Contributing to the continued development of the Manchester team.\nWhat we’re looking for\n You’ll need to be ACA, ACCA or similarly qualified, with experience gained in accountancy practice, outsourced finance, accounting advisory or a relevant industry position. \n You should also have: \n\n • Strong technical accounting knowledge, including UK GAAP and some exposure to IFRS.\n, • Experience managing a portfolio of clients or several complex finance workstreams.\n, • A solid grounding in management accounts and statutory reporting.\n, • Experience reviewing and taking responsibility for other people’s work.\n, • Confidence dealing directly with business owners, Finance Directors and other senior stakeholders.\n, • Examples of improving a finance process, reporting output, control or accounting system.\n, • An interest in using cloud accounting and finance technology properly, rather than simply maintaining the existing approach.\n, • The judgement to recognise what a client needs and explain it without unnecessary jargon.\n, • Experience developing people and managing competing deadlines.\n\n You do not necessarily need to have held the exact same job title before. An experienced Manager ready to step up could be considered, particularly if you already lead client relationships and outsourced finance work. \n Equally, someone currently working in industry may be relevant if they trained in practice, retain strong technical accounting knowledge and enjoy working across different businesses and projects. The opportunity\n This is a broad role with considerably more variety than a conventional accounts portfolio. You’ll have the chance to work closely with clients, improve finance functions and play a visible part in growing the Manchester team. \n The package includes: \n\n • Salary of £65,000–£80,000, depending on experience.\n, • Hybrid and flexible working.\n, • Private medical cover.\n, • Pension and life assurance.\n, • Enhanced family leave.\n, • Annual leave with options to buy or carry days forward.\n, • Paid volunteering time.\n, • Ongoing development and a genuine opportunity to progress as the team grows.\n\n If you’re technically strong but enjoy the commercial and problem-solving side of finance just as much, this could be a very good next move.

Tax Advisory Manager \n Fully Remote \n £65,000–£75,000 per year plus bonus \n Job Description \n Our client is an award-winning, high-growth tax and strategic advisory firm working with entrepreneurs, privately owned businesses, high-net-worth individuals and ambitious companies across the UK and internationally. \n This is a fully remote UK-based role focused on tax advisory, not compliance. \n The firm has built a strong reputation for combining technically robust tax advice with a highly commercial, entrepreneurial approach. Its leadership is well respected within the market, and the business continues to attract increasingly sophisticated clients, projects and professional partnerships. \n Tax sits at the heart of a broader advisory proposition, supporting founders and business owners through growth, restructuring, investment, transactions, wealth planning and major commercial decisions. \n The Bigger Picture \n Alongside its established tax capability, the firm now provides Strategic Business Advisory, working directly with founders to understand what they ultimately want to achieve and helping them build the business required to get there. \n That could include preparing for a future sale, increasing enterprise value, securing investment, improving profitability or developing the infrastructure needed for further growth. \n Tax therefore forms part of a much wider commercial relationship with clients rather than operating as an isolated technical service. \n Over time, the wider business also intends to expand into complementary areas including Corporate Finance and Debt Advisory. \n The scale of the opportunity is already significant. \n The senior team is currently involved in multiple live deals involving privately owned businesses with turnover ranging from approximately £10m to £60m. \n The firm is also developing strategic relationships with established professional-services organisations, including a wealth management business responsible for approximately £4bn of client assets. \n Alongside this, the business is currently delivering an international programme of highly exclusive advisory events attracting prominent speakers, entrepreneurs and ultra-high-net-worth attendees with combined wealth exceeding £1bn. \n The Role \n You will work closely with the senior leadership team, taking responsibility for complex tax advisory work while contributing to the continued development of the tax function. \n Clients include founder-led businesses, scaling companies, entrepreneurs and private clients with significant wealth. \n Many are growing, restructuring, expanding internationally, preparing for investment, completing transactions or considering future exits. \n You will provide technically strong, commercially relevant advice across corporate and private client tax matters. \n Typical responsibilities will include: \n\n • Leading complex tax advisory engagements\n, • Advising entrepreneurs, owner-managed businesses and high-net-worth individuals\n, • Supporting clients through restructuring, growth, succession, investment, transactions and international expansion\n, • Advising across corporate tax, private client tax and wider strategic tax planning\n, • Working directly with founders around significant commercial and wealth-creation events\n, • Applying tax legislation to complex commercial situations\n, • Managing senior client relationships\n, • Reviewing technical work and supporting the development of the wider tax team\n, • Contributing to the evolution of the firm’s wider advisory proposition\n\n Why This Opportunity Stands Out \n This role offers the quality of clients, complexity of work and commercial exposure often associated with much larger firms, but within a more agile and entrepreneurial environment. \n You will be joining during a significant period of growth rather than stepping into a rigid, established structure. \n The business is ambitious, fast-moving and prepared to invest, with increasing exposure to transactions, strategic advisory work, private wealth and sophisticated founder-led businesses. \n The role is also fully remote, providing genuine flexibility without sacrificing access to complex work, senior decision-makers or high-calibre clients. \n For someone who enjoys technical tax but

Roles like this really are few and far between. And what makes this one particularly special, is the fact that it sits within what is arguably the most exciting commercial insurer in the UK market right now. \n As a result of an internal promotion, this Trainee Business Development Manager opportunity has arisen within the Sales & Distribution team of this highly prestigious insurer. \n Our client operates in over 20 countries, and is very much renowned as a world-leader within its chosen markets. The company arranges insurance for some of the most fascinating risks on the planet, and has a reputation for excellence, innovation and formidable customer service. \n This Trainee BDM opportunity is extremely refreshing because our client is seeking someone who they can mould and nurture, and as such, it is not essential that you have previous experience within an official business development role. In fact, the person who did this role very successfully (before being promoted into a more senior BDM role), came from an underwriting background. \n You will be responsible for promoting the company’s suite of commercial insurance products to a panel of brokers all over the UK. Your duties will include, but certainly not be limited to, making Discovery telephone calls to brokers in order to find out what kind of business they are writing, and which of this insurer’s products will be relevant to them. In addition, you’ll identify specific risks for which the underwriting team can quote, and then follow the sales process through to the inception of cover. You’ll build strong relationships with your broker panel, ensuring that you are at the forefront of their mind when they are looking for quotes, and you will work closely with the regional business development team to ensure that sales objectives are met. Much of your work will be conducted over the telephone, but you will be encouraged to attend some face-to-face broker visits. \n When it comes to career development opportunities, this opportunity has them in abundance. The previous incumbent was promoted into a more senior BDM role within 12 months and there are many different areas of the business that you could move into down the line. \n It is absolutely essential that you have previous general insurance experience, either from an insurer or broker background. Ideally, this experience will have included commercial insurance products, although we will consider exceptional candidates from a personal lines / high net worth background. Just as importantly, you will be engaging, inquisitive, and good at spotting opportunities. You’ll have superb communication skills, as well as the ability to build strong rapport with brokers. Given the nature of the role, you will enjoy working to targets. \n Many people who join this company cite, “this is the best place I have ever worked at”. It is genuinely difficult to find a company that invests so heavily in its staff because they want them to benefit from “proper careers, where every member of staff has a mentor.” \n Our client operates a hybrid-working arrangement, allowing you to work 2 days from home. The team are well-renowned in the industry for their friendly, supportive and collaborative environment, and there are lots of sports and social events available, including an incredible annual summer ball! \n You’ll be rewarded with a generous basic salary (Negotiable depending on experience), plus a highly lucrative bonus scheme and impressive corporate benefits, which include substantial pension contributions and financial bonuses for passing CII qualifications. \n Aston Charles - a personalised service from industry experts \n General Insurance and Financial Services Recruitment \n For more jobs like this, or for more information on how we may be able to help you in your search for a new job, please visit our website
