Crew Clothing Company is a British lifestyle brand operating across four brands — Crew Clothing, Pringle of Scotland, Saltrock and Ben Sherman — with 130+ Crew stores, a growing digital channel and an omnichannel customer experience. We are in the middle of a significant technology transformation: a new eCommerce platform, a new third-party logistics partner, and an upgrade to our ERP platform, all running concurrently and targeting delivery before the end of 2027. Our IT team is small and highly capable. We are building an internal integration function that will own how all our systems connect — and this role is at the foundation of that team. Purpose of the role: Crew Clothing is building a new internal integration team to own how our systems connect. As QA and Delivery Planner, you will be the person who makes sure we deliver well — that requirements are tested, releases are controlled, and commercial decisions are never made on untested work. This is a dual role: part structured quality assurance, part delivery planning. You will own the testing process for integration work across three major programmes — our eCommerce platform, a new warehouse platform, and our new ERP platform — and you will run the team's sprint cadence, keeping delivery on track and surfacing risks early. This is a new capability for the integration team. You will define how we test and how we deliver, not inherit someone else's approach. • Own the integration testing plan across all active programmes — defining test cases, acceptance criteria and sign-off processes for each integration, • Lead OMS (Order Management System) UAT — working with business stakeholders to ensure our eCommerce OMS meets all agreed requirements before go-live, • Run the integration team's sprint cadence — planning fortnightly sprints, tracking progress against the delivery plan, and raising blockers early, • Produce and maintain the delivery plan — keeping a clear view of what is built, what is being tested, and what is outstanding across all programmes, • Own the go/no-go recommendation at each integration release milestone — providing a clear quality assessment before any system goes live, • Manage the integration requirements backlog — working with the Technical Lead and business stakeholders to keep requirements prioritised and up to date, • Produce clear, concise status reporting for the Programme Lead and IT Director — flagging risks, blockers and progress in plain language, • Coordinate with third-party delivery partners (our eCommerce delivery partner, our ERP delivery partner, our logistics partner) on integration testing schedules and shared test environments, • Proven experience in a QA, test management or delivery coordination role within a technology programme, • Experience writing test plans, test cases and acceptance criteria for API or system integrations, • Comfortable running sprint ceremonies — planning sessions, stand-ups, retrospectives — in an agile or hybrid delivery environment, • Strong organisational skills — you track everything, chase everything, and nothing falls through the gap, • Excellent communication skills — you can summarise complex technical delivery status in plain language for a non-technical audience, • Experience working on eCommerce, ERP or logistics programmes is a strong advantage, • A collaborative, methodical approach — you work well with developers, business stakeholders and external partners, • Familiarity with test management tools (Azure DevOps, Jira, or similar) is beneficial If successful, you will join a small integration team led by a Technical Lead, alongside an Integration Developer. The team sits within the wider Crew Clothing IT function, reporting to the Director of Technology through the Technical Lead. Your work will touch three major concurrent programmes — our eCommerce platform, a new warehouse partner, and our new ERP platform. The integration team is building something new: internal ownership of how Crew's systems connect, rather than reliance on external partners. Your role ensures we deliver that reliably and without risk to the business. Compensation: Competitive salary #J-18808-Ljbffr

Own the engineering, automation and lifecycle of the Oracle estate: Oracle Database on virtual machines, Exadata (on-premise, Cloud@Customer or Exadata Database Service), RAC, Data Guard, ASM, Grid Infrastructure, RMAN and related tooling. Set standards for provisioning, patching, upgrade, backup/recovery, cloning and refresh — automated and repeatable, not manually executed. Drive database performance engineering: workload analysis, AWR/ASH-based diagnostics, SQL and schema optimisation, and capacity planning for Exadata resources. Ensure high availability and data protection across the estate, including tested recovery and failover procedures for tier‑one services. Manage Oracle licensing exposure and cost in conjunction with Procurement and Legal; maintain a defensible position on licence compliance. Lead the modernisation agenda — rationalisation, migration to Oracle cloud services or alternative engines where justified — with explicit cost, risk and benefit cases. Partner with application engineering to raise database engineering competence in product teams and reduce reliance on specialist intervention. 5 People and organizational leadership Lead, coach and develop a leadership layer of directors and senior managers across multiple locations and time zones. Attract, hire and retain senior engineering talent in a competitive market; build succession depth for critical roles.

Full time | Shoreditch | Clapham | Twickenham | Temple Fortune | Posted October 08, 2026 Share About Veteris Veteris is an independent, emergency-only veterinary group providing 24/7 care across London. Our service combines four emergency hospitals, a mobile emergency team and an RVN-led remote triage centre. We are continuing to grow and are now recruiting a Head Veterinary Surgeon for each of our London hospitals. This is an opportunity for an experienced veterinary surgeon to remain clinically involved while taking genuine ownership of the development, support and day-to-day leadership of a hospital team. The Role As Head Vet, you will be the local veterinary lead for your hospital. You will work closely with the Directors, Clinical Directors, Head Nurse, Operations and HR teams to support your colleagues, maintain high clinical and operational standards, and help your hospital continue to develop. This is not a full clinical rota with management responsibilities added on top.

The anticipated clinical commitment is an average of approximately two clinical shifts per non-on-call week, with a minimum of 18 planned clinical shifts over a 12-week rota cycle (18 shifts in 84 days minimum). Clinical work may include: • Emergency peak shifts, • Day-shift cover, • Working alongside less experienced colleagues, • Clinical mentoring and practical training, • Additional support during periods of increased hospital activity Additional clinical work may be available for candidates who would like to work beyond their core commitment.

Leadership and administrative time will normally be hospital-based, allowing the Head Vet to remain present and accessible to their team. On-Call Responsibilities The role includes participation in an approximately one-in-four leadership on-call rota across the Veteris hospital network. During an on-call week, the Head Vet would not normally be scheduled for routine clinical shifts. The week would instead combine protected management responsibilities with availability to support the hospitals and attend in person when required. A Clinical Director will remain available for senior clinical, organisational or executive escalation. The detailed on-call arrangements, geographical expectations and escalation process will be discussed clearly during the recruitment process. About You You will be an experienced veterinary surgeon with strong small-animal clinical judgement and knowledge of emergency medicine, emergency medicine and a genuine interest in developing people.
