Head of Data - Fully Remote (UK only) | £80,000–£90,000 + Benefits | International Media and Events Company A small but fast-growing international media and events business is bringing data fully in-house. The technical foundations are in place, but the commercial value isn’t yet being fully realised. That’s where you come in. You will be the sole data leader in the business, responsible for shaping the strategy, building the roadmap, driving insight, and hiring the first AI resource underneath you. This is a genuine end-to-end ownership role where you will be technically hands-on across data engineering, transformation and business intelligence. This role isn’t for everyone… and that’s exactly why it’s exciting. It requires someone who has worked in a small company / Scale-up environment and can operate comfortably at exec level, influence strategic decisions, and tell compelling commercial stories with data while still being hands-on enough to build, shape and sense-check the underlying architecture. If you’ve moved too far away from the tools, it won’t suit. If you’re purely technical but haven’t operated at board level, it won’t stretch you in the right way. But if you enjoy breadth, autonomy and accountability, this is a rare opportunity to own data properly. You’ll move the business from reactive Data reporting to proactive foresight. You’ll turn fragmented Data insight into a clear narrative. You’ll define what “good” looks like for data governance, performance and AI adoption. And you’ll do it with direct access to founders and the executive team. They need someone who can walk into a room of time-poor executives and say, “Here’s what the data is telling us and here’s what we should do about it.” Clear. Commercial. Decisive. The Role Reporting to the CTO, you’ll translate data into decisions for the executive team. You’ll build a clear Single Customer View across media, digital and events, create structured executive reporting, and embed AI and automation to drive efficiency and growth. You’ll also shape the longer-term roadmap and, in the short to medium term, hire and lead an AI Engineer to expand the capability. The current stack includes GCP, BigQuery, DBT, Looker and Python, with growing interest in AI agents and LLMs. You don’t need to have built everything from scratch but you do need to understand how it all fits together. Why This Role? You’ll be the first internal data leader as the business transitions from an outsourced model. There’s real autonomy, real ownership and visible impact. This is an opportunity for someone who thrives in a smaller, ambitious organisation, where ambiguity exists, decisions move quickly, and your contribution is seen immediately. Salary: £80,000 - £90,000 + benefits Fully remote (UK only) with a flexible working environment. If you want to own data across a business, stay hands-on, influence at board level and build something meaningful from day one, this is a rare opportunity to do exactly that.

Amazing opportunity to build a Commercial Property team in Manchester within a traditional Top 75 UK law firm.

It's an environment that attracts lawyers who value high-quality work and strong client relationships but prefer to avoid the intensity and hierarchy often found in larger city firms.

The Role The firm is seeking an experienced Commercial Property Partner or Legal Director to establish and lead a Commercial Property team from its new Manchester office.

I’m keen to connect with Contentious Probate Solicitors (3+ years’ PQE) who are looking to take the next step within a nationally recognised, specialist-only contentious probate firm. If you’re currently handling a mix of private client and contentious work or you’re in a larger litigation team where contentious probate is just one of many practice areas, this is an opportunity to immerse yourself fully in your specialism. The Firm This is a boutique firm dedicated exclusively to contentious wills, trusts and estates. There is no non-contentious private client work, enabling lawyers to build genuine depth and technical excellence in this complex and fast-growing area. The firm has developed a strong national reputation for: • High-quality inheritance and estate disputes, • Technical excellence, • A pragmatic, resolution-focused approach, • Compassionate client care in sensitive matters Equally important is its culture. The leadership team has built an environment based on trust, flexibility and long-term sustainability. Flexible working isn’t an add-on, it’s embedded. Lawyers are supported to work remotely or on a hybrid basis, with genuine flexibility around hours where needed. This makes it an outstanding option for those balancing family commitments or seeking a more sustainable long-term career path. The Role You will join an established and growing team of specialists, handling a busy caseload of high-quality contentious probate matters. Significant hands-on experience is essential. This role is suited to someone who has spent at least three years focused primarily on contentious probate, not simply occasional exposure. The caseload will include: • Will and inheritance disputes, • Claims under the Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975, • Trust and estate disputes, • Capacity and validity challenges, • Executor and trustee disputes You will be trusted to manage matters independently, with support from experienced colleagues when needed. Why This Opportunity Stands Out ✅ Specialist-only contentious probate practice ✅ Genuine work-life balance and flexibility ✅ Remote and hybrid working as standard ✅ Clear, realistic pathway to Partnership ✅ Collaborative culture with no internal competition ✅ Strong pipeline of high-quality work ✅ A firm that values wellbeing and long-term careers Whether you’re a mid-level solicitor wanting to deepen your expertise or a more experienced lawyer seeking flexibility without sacrificing quality or progression, this role can be shaped around your career goals. About You • 3+ years’ PQE with strong contentious probate experience, • Confident managing cases independently, • Strong technical skills and sound judgment, • Empathetic and client-focused, • Comfortable working autonomously within a supportive structure This is a rare opportunity to join a market-leading specialist practice combining excellent work with genuine flexibility and a deeply human culture.

We are delighted to be assisting this prestigious global insurance broker with the appointment of an experienced Commercial Account Executive to work within its specialist Housing Association Division on a fully home-based contract. The team is well-renowned in this specialist arena and its client base comprises many of the top housing associations in the country; some with as many as 130,000 units within their property portfolio. This rare position has come about as a result of significant growth of the account; the division has enjoyed phenomenal success over the last few years and has won many major housing association clients within the last 18 months. In addition, to give you an idea of the company’s impeccable client retention rate, they have only lost 1 client in the last 3 years. “This is an absolutely fascinating sector to work within”, says the Divisional Director. “Our clients are continually changing and diversifying, such as building their own properties and growing sizeable maintenance teams, which results in the need for some really interesting and complex insurance programmes.” Working from home, you’ll inherit a book of approximately 25 loyal clients, who tend to be on long-term agreements of up to 5 years, and your account will be tailored to suit your skills, experience and geographical location. Individual clients tend to generate between £10K - £100K income, and whilst they are predominantly Property & Casualty-biased, many also have a wider range of insurance requirements including, but not limited to, Contractors All Risks, Financial Lines, Group PA and Financial Lines. We are open to applicants’ experience, however, it is likely that you are currently either an Account Executive, or a gregarious Account Handler, who is ready to take the next step into a client-facing role. You must have solid experience within Property & Casualty / Commercial Combined insurance, together with the ability to converse effectively with, and gain credibility from sophisticated insurance buyers. Crucially, you’ll be well-organised and consultative, with the ability to adapt your style to a wide range of clientele. As you’ll be working for a world-leading broking house, you’ll have the opportunity to introduce other ancillary services and specialists to your clients (such as Employee Benefits and Risk Management etc), which can result in healthy additional personal bonus. We must emphasise that there is not a huge amount of traveling required with this role as clients typically have 2 or 3 meetings a year. However, you must be happy to attend a meeting at the company’s head office in Reading, once a month on average. You’ll be rewarded with an attractive basic salary (negotiable, depending on experience), together with one of the most impressive company benefits packages in the market, which includes substantial employer pension contributions. In addition, there is a performance-related bonus attached to this role (based on metrics such as client retention, account growth and referrals), which can realistically result in an additional £10K - £15K on top of your basic salary. Not only is this a fascinating role with terrific prospects, this company offers a myriad of career-development opportunities, both locally and across the globe.
