Gresham House Ventures have just backed us, and now we’re ready to back you.\n \n We’re scaling fast - £3M to £15M ARR, backed by serious capital and have a clear growth strategy. \n \n We see finance as a competitive advantage, not a control function. We understand achieving a 10x £150 Million exit in the future needs the right expertise to build enterprise value - not just report it - and before the real acceleration begins. Not only that, but we also know titles don’t create wealth - equity and timing do, and for you to do your best work you’ll need real ownership and a collaborative leadership team that’s ready for you to lead with vigour and deliver your best work.\n \n If you're ready to be instrumental in this journey, actively shaping where we invest, how we grow, and how we position for maximum value at exit, we’d love to hear from you.\n \n We are Modo25 / ASK BOSCO. \n \n Ready for your next adventure?\n \n —-------------------\n \n The Role at a Glance: \n \n Finance Director / VP\n Hybrid Working / Leeds HQ - At least a couple of days fortnightly plus board and key meetings\n £90,000 - £150,000 + Equity \n Plus Benefits: 4-day working week, 30 days annual leave incl bank holidays, health insurance, critical illness cover, life insurance, retail & leisure perks, electric car scheme\n \n Values & Culture: Outstanding Company to Work For 2024 \n Company: B2B SaaS (AI-powered marketing analytics) & Digital Marketing services\n Pedigree: Visionary Founder. Backed by renowned tech entrepreneurs, including co-founder of SkyScanner. Profits with Purpose — 10% of profits donated to 1moreChild orphanage annually\n Markets: Marketing & eCommerce Agencies, eCommerce retailers\n \n Your Skills: Qualified - ACCA, ACA, CIMA. Hands-on Financial Leadership with Scaling Tech Co - expertise with a sale or significant funding round.\n\nWho we are:\n \n We’re building a high-growth AI SaaS business alongside a profitable agency, and we’re looking for a CFO who wants to help shape the story - and the exit.\n \n Modo25 is a digital marketing agency working with enterprise brands. ASK BOSCO is our AI-powered marketing analytics platform that predicts marketing ROI with 96% accuracy. Together, we're scaling from £3m to £15m over the next three years, backed by Gresham House Ventures, with a clear path to exit at a 10x revenue multiple.\n \n You will be instrumental in this journey.\n \n Your Expertise:\n \n You are a commercially astute, qualified accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA) (ideally Big-4 trained) with a proven track record of helping ambitious businesses scale at pace. Having spent several years inside a high-growth scale-up, you are fluent in SaaS metrics (ARR, churn, NRR, LTV:CAC) and comfortable operating in the complexity that comes with rapid expansion, funding rounds and exit-readiness. Based in, or excited to relocate to Leeds or happy to be onsite 2 days per week, you thrive working closely with a leadership team and shaping the future of a business from the inside. \n \n What truly sets you apart is your breadth of perspective: experience across SaaS and professional services, exposure to M&A, and a genuine commitment to building a business that balances performance with purpose through progressive ways of working and meaningful social impact.\n \n Why This Role Is Different\n\nYou'll be joining a leadership team that genuinely wants finance at the heart of decision-making. The CEO and COO are ready to hand over the numbers to focus on growth, product, and market expansion. They're not looking for a gatekeeper. \n \n They're looking for a commercial partner who can:\n \n • Build reporting - real-time dashboards and MI to run the day-to-day business, as well as report at Board level\n • Navigate a hybrid model - agency retainers alongside SaaS subscriptions, each with different economics\n • Spot growth opportunities the rest of us haven't seen - you'll have access to data nobody else is interrogating\n • Prepare the business for exit - clean books, compelling story, data room ready, and a CFO who can hold their own in due diligence\n \n We’ve built today, for you to build tomorrow\n \n We’re not perfect - and we’re honest about that. Today, our finance function is a fractional CFO for half a day a week, a high-calibre new Finance Manager, and a COO who’s been carrying more financial responsibility than she should. It works, but it’s not built to scale. With funding in the bank, investors on hand and an ambitious scale target we need you at the helm - dedicated financial leadership building out robust processes, embedding best practice, and making proactive, insight-led decisions about what we should prioritise, invest in, and do next to support sustainable growth.\n \n You'll be managing two business models with different rhythms, different metrics, and different levers. If that sounds like a headache, this isn't for you. If it sounds like an interesting puzzle, let’s talk.\n \n What We Offer\n \n • £90,000 - £150,000 base salary depending on experience\n • Equity - real ownership with meaningful upside if we hit our exit targets\n • Four-day working week - we believe in output over hours, and we've made it work\n • A seat at the table - you'll report directly to the CEO and work closely with the COO and Gresham House\n • An 'Outstanding Company to Work For 2024' - we take culture seriously\n \n The Process\n \n We’re taking a considered, high-bar approach to this hire. Our interview process is intentionally rigorous because we’re focused on attracting true A-players, and we’re prepared to invest the time to find the right fit. You can expect a thorough, high-quality process that includes psychometric assessment and a commercial case study-designed to understand not just what you’ve achieved, but how you think and make decisions.\n \n Target start date: June 2026\n \n Ready to make a move?\n \n If this sounds like the challenge you’ve been looking for, a true commercial partner role rather than just another finance position, we’d love to hear from you. No cover letter is required; simply share your CV along with a couple of sentences on what drew you to the opportunity.\n \n We’re excited to meet you.

Job Description for Design Engineer (Mechanical/Chemical/Process) Environmental Control Systems Location: Remote (UK-based) with travel to client sites Grade: S4 – Intermediate Project/Design Consulting Engineer Salary: £42,000 – £48,000 per annum (dependent on experience) Contract: Permanent, full-time (40 hours/week, flexible) Reports to: Managing Director / Senior Engineer OUR COMPANY MECHON is an independent environmental control systems consultancy. We design ventilation, LEV, specialist HVAC, and air pollution control systems for manufacturing, defence, pharmaceutical, and R&D environments across the UK and internationally. Our clients include major defence contractors, automotive manufacturers, chemical companies, and research facilities. We are not a contractor or installer. We are the consulting engineers who assess the problem, design the solution, write the specifications, and oversee delivery. Our work combines chemical and mechanical engineering — from workplace exposure assessment and DSEAR risk analysis through to full system design, dispersion modelling, and commissioning support. We are looking for a Design Engineer to join our team at Intermediate level (Grade S4), with a structured 2–4 year development pathway toward becoming a fully independent consulting engineer. WHAT YOU'LL DO You will work under the guidance of senior engineers to deliver environmental control system designs from concept through to completion. This is a consulting engineering role — the primary outputs are engineering calculations, risk assessments, technical reports, and design specifications. We have a dedicated CAD team; drawing production is not your core function. Your responsibilities will include: • Engineering calculations for LEV and process HVAC systems (airflow, pressure drop, thermal loads, exposure benchmarking), • ite surveys and audits to assess existing systems and gather design information, • Risk assessment work including COSHH exposure assessment and DSEAR under senior supervision, • Technical report writing and design specifications for clients, • Client liaison - attending design meetings, presenting findings, managing technical relationships, • Supporting project delivery from concept through to commissioning and handover WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU We don't expect you to arrive as a ventilation specialist. We do expect a solid grounding in engineering fundamentals that we can build on. Essential: • Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering, or closely related discipline, • Minimum 3 years' post-graduation engineering experience (does not need to be in ventilation, • process engineering, chemical plant, risk assessment, building services, or similar are equally relevant), • Working knowledge of fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer applied in a professional setting, • Strong written English and the ability to produce clear, structured technical reports, • Full UK driving licence, • UK right to work Desirable: • Experience with risk assessment methodologies (HAZOP, DSEAR, COSHH, or similar), • Exposure to consultancy or client-facing technical roles, • Professional registration or working toward CEng/IEng, • Competence with CAD software (AutoCAD, Revit, or similar) THE KIND OF ENGINEER WHO DOES WELL HERE Our environment is different from a large consultancy. There's no layer of project managers between you and the client. You won't have a team of 20 around you. What you will have is direct responsibility, genuine autonomy, and senior engineers who will invest time in your development. Our most successful engineers share certain qualities: they take ownership of problems without waiting to be told, they communicate clearly under pressure, they're motivated by the quality of their work rather than their job title, and they have the patience to develop genuine expertise in a specialist discipline. Our most successful hires have come from a range of backgrounds including chemical engineering, process engineering, and mechanical engineering. What matters more than your specific discipline is how you think, how you communicate, and whether you take pride in producing work that stands up to scrutiny. WHAT WE OFFER • £42,000 – £48,000 depending on experience, • Fully remote working with UK-wide site visits, • Structured development programme with senior engineer mentoring, • Funded CPD and professional development (training courses, BOHS qualifications, chartership support) 22 days annual leave plus bank holidays, increasing to 25 at the next grade, • Pension with employer contribution, • Travel expenses for site visits fully reimbursed, • A specialist consultancy where your engineering skills are the product, not a support function HOW TO APPLY Please submit your CV and a brief covering statement (no more than 300 words) explaining why this role interests you and what you would bring to MECHON. We are particularly interested in the breadth of your professional experience and how you approach unfamiliar technical problems. We don't use automated screening. Every application is reviewed by the team.

D365 Business Central Lead (Finance & Supply Chain) Location: Manchester Type: Permanent Reporting to: Finance Director / Senior Leadership Hybrid: 3 days a week Salary: £75,000 - £95,000 About the Role Our client is looking for an experienced ERP & Business Central Lead to take ownership of their Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central environment and drive the next phase of their digital and operational transformation. This is not a traditional programme management role. We need someone who combines strategic ERP leadership with a hands‑on, detail‑driven approach - someone who can understand how the business works today, identify what "good" looks like for them, and lead the practical steps required to get there. You will be the internal expert for Business Central: shaping the roadmap, diagnosing issues, defining improvements, and coordinating development work. You won't be expected to write code yourself, but you must be comfortable getting into the detail of how the system works, what needs fixing, and how to deliver meaningful change. Key Responsibilities Act as the Business Central subject matter expert for the entire organisation. Lead the end‑to‑end optimisation of Business Central, ensuring it meets the needs of a fast‑growing, product‑led business. Diagnose system issues, gaps, and inefficiencies - and translate them into clear, actionable development requirements. Work closely with external developers (ad‑hoc or retained) to deliver fixes, enhancements, and new functionality. Provide ERP leadership across the business, helping teams understand best practice and what "good" looks like. Map business processes, challenge existing ways of working, and design improved workflows within BC. Own the ERP roadmap, prioritising improvements based on business value and operational impact. Ensure strong governance, documentation, and change control around all system developments. Collaborate with Finance, Operations, Supply Chain, and Commercial teams to ensure Business Central supports their needs. Provide hands‑on support during month‑end, system changes, and key operational cycles. Drive user adoption, training, and continuous improvement across the organisation.What We're Looking For Extensive experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (or NAV with BC transition experience). A blend of strategic thinking and hands‑on problem‑solving - someone who can zoom out and lead, but also dive into the detail when needed. Strong understanding of core business processes (finance, supply chain, operations, inventory, manufacturing, or similar). Proven ability to translate business needs into system requirements and deliver improvements. Experience working with external developers and managing technical delivery. A proactive, sleeves‑rolled‑up mindset - someone who thrives on fixing problems, improving systems, and making things work better. Excellent communication skills and the confidence to challenge, guide, and influence stakeholders. A track record of driving ERP transformation in a growing or complex business.Why This Role Matters Our client is at a pivotal stage in its growth. Business Central should be a powerful enabler - but only with the right leadership. This role will shape how the business operates, how data flows, and how teams work day‑to‑day. The right person will make a visible, lasting impact across the organisation
