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.

Senior Business Consultant - Change Management | SAP S/4HANA \n £70,000-£90,000 + 10% bonus | North West or South West | Hybrid \n You've delivered major SAP transformations. You understand how difficult real organisational change can be. Now you want an opportunity where you can have a bigger influence — on the programme, the customer, the people around you and the wider consulting relationship. \n We're looking for a Senior Business Consultant specialising in Change Management to join one of the UK's major technology and consulting organisations, taking a leading role on a significant SAP S/4HANA transformation programme within complex manufacturing. \n This is an opportunity to combine hands-on transformation delivery with senior-level consulting responsibility. \n More than just a Change Manager role \n You'll become a trusted partner to the customer, working across an environment that stretches from the manufacturing shop floor through to executive leadership. \n You'll help shape and lead the change approach, challenge thinking, manage senior stakeholders and ensure transformation is actually being embedded into the organisation — not simply delivered according to a project plan. \n You'll still be close to implementation, but at this level you'll also have a broader view of the programme. \n That means overseeing delivery, managing risks, supporting reporting and governance, developing junior consultants and helping ensure the programme delivers value for both the customer and the consulting organisation. \n You'll also work with third-party technology and supply-chain partners, helping coordinate complex delivery and keeping stakeholders aligned. \n The person we're looking for \n You'll already have significant experience delivering SAP S/4HANA transformation and Change Management within manufacturing or industrial environments. \n A background in aerospace, automotive, OEM or other complex manufacturing environments would translate particularly well. \n Most importantly, we want evidence of what you have personally delivered. \n You should be comfortable talking through major SAP implementations you've owned, how you approached organisational change, how you handled resistance, what happened when delivery went off-track and what you personally did to solve the problem. \n At this level, you should also be credible with senior and executive stakeholders while still being comfortable engaging operational teams on the shop floor. \n Consulting, leadership and commercial exposure \n This role also gives you the opportunity to step beyond pure Change Management. \n You'll support and develop other consultants, take greater ownership of programme delivery and build an understanding of the commercial side of consulting. \n That doesn't mean carrying a sales target. \n Instead, we're looking for someone commercially aware enough to understand customer value, delivery costs, billability and margins, while recognising opportunities where the organisation could provide additional support to the customer. \n Experience supporting presales, bids or proposals would be useful, but you don't need to be a salesperson or bid writer. \n Likewise, formal line-management experience isn't essential. If you've led workstreams, mentored consultants or helped develop more junior colleagues, we'd be interested in hearing about it. \n A few important requirements \n This is not a remote consulting position. \n You must be able to commit to at least 2 days per week on-site in either the North West or South West of the UK. Being physically present matters because successful change in manufacturing requires genuine engagement with the people and operations affected by it. \n Due to the customer-specific security requirements associated with the programme, candidates must also be a sole British citizen. Dual nationality / dual passports cannot be accepted for this particular position. You'll require SC clearance to start and must meet the customer's requirements for future DV clearance. \n What's on offer? \n The salary is £70,000-£90,000 plus a 10% consulting bonus, alongside a wider benefits package. \n Beyond the package, this is an opportunity to join a major consulting organisation where you can build your career beyond individual change projects — developing your leadership, commercial and consulting experience while delivering complex transformation for major UK organisations. \n If you combine SAP S/4HANA expertise, manufacturing experience and senior Change Management capability, this could be a very interesting next move. \n Apply directly or message me for a confidential conversation.

Senior to Associate Building Surveyor \n \n Would a role focused almost entirely on commercial office refurbishment projects as a Senior or Associate Building Surveyor in Manchester interest you? \n \n I'm working with a Building Surveying consultancy based in Manchester city centre, where around 90% of the work is within Manchester itself, giving it a genuine client-side feel through long-term relationships and repeat work rather than constantly chasing one-off instructions. \n \n The role would suit a Building Surveyor who enjoys Contract Administration and Project Management, with the split being roughly: \n \n • 80-90% Contract Administration / Project Management \n • Dilapidations \n • No wider professional services work \n \n Projects are predominantly cut & carve office refurbishments up to £2m, working for major investment funds, Aviva and large retail occupiers, with the occasional industrial project. \n \n A few things that stood out to me: \n \n • Salary up to £80,000 \n • Genuine client-side feel with long-standing commercial clients. \n • Projects based almost entirely in Manchester. \n • Opportunity to help establish and run a future Warrington office. \n • Senior Surveyors and above have received five-figure bonuses every year for the past 15 years. \n • Strong pipeline of repeat commercial work. \n \n If you'd like to hear more about the company, team and package, simply apply or contact me on my LinkedIN page details and I'll happily run you through it.

Product Manager \n \n Industry: RegTech | SaaS | Compliance \n \n Location: Manchester / Hybrid (2 days a week in the office) \n \n Salary: £60,000 – £80,000 DOE \n \n Are you a Product Manager who wants to own outcomes rather than manage a backlog, someone who uses AI in the work itself rather than just talking about it, and who's energised by shipping fast and living with the results? This is an opportunity to join an ambitious, scaling RegTech/SaaS business that's redefining what product management looks like, giving PMs genuine autonomy and real accountability for what gets built and why. \n \n The Opportunity \n You'll be joining a communications compliance supervision platform processing hundreds of millions of events monthly for thousands of organisations worldwide. You'll work across the full stack: web capture systems, large-scale data pipelines, communications archiving, and customer-facing products. \n \n This role goes beyond backlog management. You'll set direction, defend it, and take real responsibility for what gets built and why, using AI in the work itself, for research synthesis, prototyping, competitive analysis, comms, and spec work, to move at real pace. This company is past the scrappy startup stage but still small enough that the work you do this week is in production next week, and product management is treated as a first-class discipline here, not an afterthought. This is a senior, strategy-owning role rather than a delivery-focused one: you'll be shaping part of the product strategy yourself, not just executing against someone else's roadmap. \n \n What You'll Do \n\n • Own a product area, end to end: set the roadmap, defend it to leadership, customers, and yourself, and ship weekly by default.\n, • Directly support 1 - 3 product engineering teams of 2 - 6 people each, carrying direction, sequencing, roadmap, and the client story. The PM and the engineers decide, ship, and learn together, with no matrix or steering committee.\n, • Use AI in the work itself: Claude, Cursor, or equivalent, every day, showing up in your PRDs, research synthesis, prototypes, and comms, not just in what you ship.\n, • Talk to customers every week: advisors, compliance officers, ops leads, feeding their words directly into the product.\n, • Make decisions with data on the table, mixing good judgement with hard evidence, and going to get the data yourself (or writing down the assumption) when it doesn't exist.\n, • Communicate clearly and often: share progress openly, raise concerns early, and close the gap between what the team builds and what the customer experiences.\n\n \n What You'll Bring \n Essential \n\n • You've shipped things you can talk about clearly: what your theory was, what you actually built, and why it mattered, whether that's a product, a business, or a side project. What matters is you decided what to do, shipped it to the world, and lived with the outcome.\n, • You've owned part of a strategy, not just executed against someone else's: you can point to a roadmap, a direction, or a bet you set yourself and defended, rather than delivery against a brief you were handed.\n, • Great taste. You have opinions about products and defend them, and you notice when something is 10% off and figure out how to fix it.\n, • Judgement at speed. You'd rather ship, learn, and correct than gather one more signal.\n, • A strong communicator in practice: direct, concise, opinionated, and willing to be wrong out loud.\n, • Data literacy, comfortable with data and product analytics, and able to reason from first principles when the data isn't there.\n, • Hands-on experience using AI tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex, or similar) as part of your daily workflow.\n, • You hold yourself and those around you to a high bar.\n\n \n Desirable \n\n • Likely 4+ years in PM roles, or equivalent prior experience as a founder, engineer, or designer, at a level where you've genuinely owned strategy rather than just delivered against it.\n, • Compliance / fintech / regulated-industry experience is a plus, but absolutely not a requirement.\n, • Experience shipping features that use LLMs in production. • Familiarity with modern product analytics tooling (PostHog, Pendo, or similar). • Written or audiovisual work you're proud of: a blog, a Substack, GitHub, a YouTube video.\n, • • Experience running pod-based or squad-based teams.\n\n \n What's on Offer \n\n • Competitive salary aligned with your experience.\n, • 25 days' holiday + bank holidays (plus your birthday off).\n, • Flexible hybrid working, Manchester based.\n, • Juno for health / wellbeing (£100 per month).\n, • Vitality health insurance + cash plan.\n, • Enhanced pension contributions.\n, • Life Insurance (4× salary).\n, • Latest MacBook Pro + equipment budget.\n, • Equity Appreciation Rights (EAR) - Share in our success with an opportunity to benefit from the company's growth through our equity incentive program.\n\n \n At Inara Talent, we believe everyone deserves a fair chance to shine. We connect great people from all backgrounds with opportunities where they can thrive, making sure hiring is fair, inclusive, and truly diverse. No matter your race, gender, age, ability, or background we focus on what really matters: your talent.

ACADEMIC DEAN Job Responsibilities The College UK Management College (UKMC) is a private, widening-participation higher education provider established in 2016, delivering degree programmes with an integrated Foundation Year in partnership with universities that act as the awarding bodies. The College delivers, but does not develop or award, curriculum: all programmes are validated or franchised by its partneruniversities — the University of Wolverhampton (principal partner), Canterbury Christ Church University, Arts University Bournemouth and Health Sciences University — and are delivered across the College’s campuses in Manchester (College House, Salford and Abarna Campus), Derby, Newcastle (North Shields) and Sunderland. Course delivery is organised course-wide rather than campus-by-campus: each programme is led by a Course Director who owns the Course Performance Plan across all campuses, while at each campus a Head of Academics (Campus Academic Lead) works with Course Officers and Module Leaders to deliver and assure provision locally. The College measures its success through retention, continuation, completion and progression. Role Purpose The Academic Dean is the College’s senior academic leader for the delivery of all courses, with all partner universities, across all campuses. The post holder holds executive responsibility for ensuring that every programme the College delivers is up to date, coherent and effectively delivered in accordance with the regulations of the relevant awarding body; that delivery at every campus is properly resourced, staffed and quality-assured; and that assessment, examination and academic-standards processes operate credibly and consistently. The Academic Dean owns academicworkforce planning and academic staff recruitment, ensuring the College has the qualified, developed and well-supported teaching workforce its students and partners require. The Academic Dean reports to the Associate Provost / Provost and works in close partnership with the Dean of Student Experience, whose teams provide the academic services — Personal Academic Tutoring, wellbeing, engagement, academic language and learning, employability, academic integrity, and research and knowledge exchange — that surround and support course delivery. Together, thetwo Deans are jointly accountable for the College’s student outcomes: continuation, completion and progression at or above the College’s institutional targets, which are themselves set above OfS numerical baselines. Reporting and Organisational Position Reports to: Associate Provost / Provost. Line manages: Associate Deans and Assistant Deans; through them, the Course Directors; and the Academic Heads of Campus (Campus Academic Leads) at each campus. The wider academicdelivery workforce — Module Leaders, Course Officers, Lecturers and Assistant Lecturers — reports through this structure. The Head of Learning and Teaching reports to the Academic Dean for the teaching-quality, observation and academic CPD agenda. Works with: The Dean of Student Experience; the Academic Registrar and the Academic Services and Registry structure; the Head of Quality and Compliance; the Head of Human Resources (academic workforce planning and recruitment); the Chief Operating Officer (timetabling, estates and campus resources); partner universities (awarding bodies), their link tutors and boards; and the College’s senior committees. Committees: Chairs the Faculty Committee; member of Academic Board and the Executive Board as constituted; senior oversight of the Course Coordination Committee (chaired by an Associate / Assistant Dean) and, through Course Directors, of the Course Committees for every programme. Key Responsibilities A. Strategic Academic Leadership Provide institution-wide academic leadership for the delivery of the College’s full course portfolio, ensuring delivery plans give effect to the Strategic Plan 2025–2030 and the learning and teaching sub-strategy. Lead, develop and performance-manage the Associate and Assistant Deans, agreeing objectives, holding regular documented one-to-ones, conducting appraisals and building a capable, collegial academic leadership team. Ensure the course-wide delivery model — Course Directors owning each programme across campuses, with Academic Heads of Campus assuring local delivery — operates effectively, with clear accountabilities and no gaps between course-level and campus-level oversight. Advise the Associate Provost / Provost, the Executive Board and the Board of Directors on academic delivery capacity, risks and opportunities, ensuring that growth in student numbers is always measured, deliberate and matched to delivery capacity. Deputise for the Provost on academic delivery matters as required and represent the College’s academic provision externally.B. Course Delivery with Partner Universities Hold overall responsibility for the delivery of every programme franchised or validated by the University of Wolverhampton, Canterbury Christ Church University, Arts University Bournemouth and Health Sciences University, ensuring each is delivered strictly in accordance with the relevant awarding body’s academic regulations, programme specifications and partnership agreement. Ensure each course remains up to date and coherent in delivery: that module content, learning materials and reading lists are current; that modules build appropriately across levels from the integrated Foundation Year onwards; and that any changes proposed by an awarding body are implemented promptly and communicated to students. Lead the College’s academic contribution to partner-university validation, approval, periodic review and revalidation events, including the preparation of delivery plans, staffing evidence and staff CVs for partner approval. Oversee annual programme monitoring and course self-evaluation for every programme, ensuring Course Performance Plans are owned, evidenced and acted upon, and that external examiner reports and partner monitoring outcomes result in tracked improvement actions. Manage teach-out obligations with care — including the Canterbury Christ Church University teach-out — so that every continuing student receives a full, high-quality delivery experience to completion. Act as the College’s senior academic point of contact with each partner university on delivery matters, maintaining constructive, transparent relationships with partner academic leads and link tutors, and supporting due diligence for prospective partnerships under the Partner Selection Framework.C. Multi-Campus Delivery and Parity Ensure every campus — Manchester (College House and Abarna House), Salford, Derby, Newcastle (North Shields) and Sunderland — delivers its allocated provision to the same academic standard, with equivalent access to qualified staff, learning resources, library provision and the virtual learning environment. Oversee the deployment of Academic Heads of Campus, ensuring each campus has effective local academic leadership, and that cross-campus consistency is monitored through the Course Coordination Committee and campus-level reporting. Work with the Chief Operating Officer and the Academic Registrar to ensure timetabling, room utilisation and campus academic resources support effective delivery, and that campus capacity is respected in enrolment planning. Monitor outcomes by campus and by programme — retention, continuation, completion and progression — identifying and addressing any campus-level variation in performance or student experience. Ensure new campus provision, including provision delivered at Salford, Derby and Sunderland for Health Sciences University programmes, is established with full delivery capability from the first day of teaching.D. Assessment, Examinations and AcademicStandards Hold senior oversight of the operation of assessment across the College: assessment scheduling, secure examination arrangements, marking, internal moderation and the timely submission of results to each awarding body in line with its regulations and deadlines. Ensure College staff are prepared for and effectively represented at partner-university assessment boards and boards of examiners, and that board outcomes are implemented accurately and promptly. Ensure external examining arrangements operate effectively for every programme and that external examiner feedback is answered and actioned. Safeguard the credibility of assessment in collaboration with the Dean of Student Experience, whose portfolio includes the Academic Integrity Office, ensuring assessment design, invigilation and moderation minimise opportunities for misconduct. Ensure reasonable adjustments and agreed support plans are implemented consistently in assessment delivery, in collaboration with the Dean of Student Experience’s teams and in compliance with the Equality Act 2010.E. Academic Workforce Planning and Recruitment Own the College’s academic workforce plan: model staffing requirements against enrolment forecasts, staff–student ratios, module delivery plans and campus growth, and keep the plan aligned with the budget and the five-year financial forecasts. Lead academic recruitment with the Head of Human Resources: define establishment needs, approve job descriptions and person specifications, chair or oversee senior academic appointments, and ensure every appointed member of teaching staff is appropriately qualified and approved by the relevant awarding body where required. Oversee academic induction, probation, mentoring and the assistant-lecturer development pathway, ensuring new staff are supported to full effectiveness. Oversee the academic workload model, ensuring workloads are fair, transparent and consistent with high-quality delivery, and that Personal Academic Tutoring, scholarship and development time are properly recognised. Champion academic staff development and progression through the College’s academic progression pathways and salary structure, supporting staff towards the PGCert and Advance HE Fellowship in line with institutional targets, working with the Head of Learning andTeaching. Plan resilience into the workforce — cover arrangements, the appropriate use of part-time and casual academic staff, and succession planning for academic leadership roles.F. Learning, Teaching and Delivery Quality Hold senior oversight of the Head of Learning and Teaching and the teaching-quality agenda: the teaching observation scheme, peer review, the academic CPD programme and calendar, the annual Learning and Teaching Conference, and partner-university teaching observations. Ensure teaching across all campuses is inclusive, research-informed and compliant with the Teaching, Learning and Assessment frameworks, including the Inclusive Curriculum Framework and the English Proficiency Framework. Ensure the virtual learning environment is populated, current and consistently used across all modules and campuses, and that digital delivery meets the standards expected of higher education in England. Use student feedback — module evaluations, mid-module student-representative discussions, partner surveys and institutional surveys — to drive continuous improvement in delivery, withvisible “you said, we did” responses.G. Student Outcomes and Data Hold delivery-side accountability for the College’s outcome measures — retention, continuation, completion and progression — monitored by campus and by programme, and for sustaining performance at or above the College’s institutional targets, which are setabove OfS numerical baselines. Ensure Course Directors analyse attainment, engagement and outcomes data by demographic group, identify at-risk modules and cohorts, and act early, in collaboration with the Personal Academic Tutor team and the Dean of Student Experience’s services. Ensure academic delivery data — attendance, engagement, assessment and outcomes — is recorded accurately in the College’s student information systems and supports reliable internal reporting and external regulatory returns. Contribute delivery evidence to the annual Self-Assessment Report and the Quality Enhancement Plan, and account for delivery performance at Academic Board and to the Board of Directors through the Board Assurance Dashboard.H. Governance, Compliance and Regulation Chair the Faculty Committee and ensure its sub-structure — the Course Coordination Committee and the Course Committees for every programme — operates effectively, with accurate minutes, tracked actions and reliable reporting to Academic Board. Ensure academic delivery complies with the OfS conditions of registration — in particular the quality conditions relating to course content and delivery, resources and support, and assessment and awards — the UK Quality Code, the Equality Act 2010, Prevent and data-protection obligations. Ensure the College can evidence its delivery arrangements to regulators, awarding bodies and external reviewers at any time, maintaining complete and current programme documentation, staffing structures and delivery records. Escalate material academic risks promptly through the risk register and to the Associate Provost / Provost, and ensure lessons from complaints, appeals and academic incidents inform improvement. Undertake any additional duties assigned by the Associate Provost / Provost, commensurate with the seniority of the role. Working with the Dean of Student Experience The Academic Dean and the Dean of Student Experience hold complementary portfolios within a single academic leadership model, under the senior oversight of the Associate Provost / Provost. The Academic Dean leads what is taught, by whom, and how well it is delivered; the Dean of Student Experience leads the services that enable every student to engage, persist and succeed.The two Deans are expected to operate as close partners: to maintain shared oversight of student outcomes; to align delivery plans with support capacity before each intake; to ensure Personal Academic Tutors, wellbeing, engagement, language, employability and integrity services are embedded in course delivery at every campus; and to present joint assurance on the academic student experience to Academic Board. Neither portfolio succeeds without the other, and both Deansare jointly accountable for the coherence of the whole. Values and Conduct The Academic Dean is expected to model the College’s values at all times: to act with integrity, fairness and transparency; to promote equality, diversity and inclusion across the academic community; to safeguard the interests, welfare and outcomes of students; to respect the authority of each awarding body over its curriculum and awards; and to uphold the College’s widening-participation mission, in which student success is measured by the distance travelled and the outcomes achieved — retention, continuation, completion and progression — rather than by selectivit

As a Senior Frontend Engineer on our Website team, you'll be a co-owner of the platform behind _: the component library, content model and rendering stack that every page on our marketing site is built from. You'll shape direction and make key technical decisions with the team, likely with a focus area of your own but context across the whole system. This is a hands-on engineering role, and your primary output is high-quality component and schema code, plus the tooling that lets others build with it. Millions of people visit _ every month, and it is one of the main ways we win new customers. That comes with real responsibility. The decisions you make are seen at scale, and we set the quality bar accordingly. The defining challenge of this role is composability: a marketing site that marketers, and increasingly AI agents, can build pages with, without breaking design, performance or SEO. Build, scale and evolve our section library: the Astro components, Sanity schemas and design tokens that let us compose marketing pages consistently and accessibly. Own the content model. Design schemas that resist misuse, so an editor, or an agent, can build a page that is correct by construction rather than correct by review. Take Figma component specs all the way to production: responsive across mobile, tablet and desktop, accessible by default, matching design intent precisely. Extend the platform for AI-assisted development, so coding agents can generate on-brand, on-spec sections from a design spec as reliably as a person can. Own SEO integrity as a first-class engineering concern: canonicals, sitemaps, structured data, redirects, and no traffic cliffs on launch. Raise the bar on engineering standards across the website surface: thorough code review, patterns others can follow, and tests around the parts that actually break. Maintain and extend localisation across nine locales and a translation pipeline, so the system works for a global audience. Shape the technical direction of the website platform over the next 6 to 12 months, and champion its adoption with the people who publish on it. At least five (5) years as a software engineer, including three (3) at senior level, building front end for content-driven or marketing platforms. Real ownership of a content model in Sanity. You've designed schemas other people had to live with, and you have opinions about references vs. embedded objects, when a variant belongs in the schema versus at runtime, and how to stop a section library sprawling. GROQ and Portable Text are familiar territory. Deep front-end expertise: expert HTML, CSS and TypeScript, with a strong command of component API design and the developer experience of a shared library. You can work end to end. Comfortable owning the server side as well as the front end: SSR, serverless and edge runtimes, API routes, a SQL database, secrets and CI. You should be able to take a feature from schema to component to the route that serves it without handing off, and be happy debugging something that only reproduces in production. Solid understanding of responsive design, cross-browser compatibility and web performance, and comfortable building to WCAG 2.2 AA. Accessibility is part of your definition of done, not a separate pass. You care that marketing sites are measured, on performance, SEO, analytics events and conversion, and you're happy being accountable to those numbers. A strong sense of craft and attention to detail, and the judgement to balance design intent against engineering constraints. Strong communication and collaboration skills. You explain your reasoning, review generously, and treat levelling up the people around you as part of the job. Prior experience working on a large SaaS marketing website, at real traffic and with real stakes attached. Astro, or another islands or static-site framework. Cloudflare Workers, or another edge or serverless platform. Experience with AWS Lambda. Tailwind CSS v4, and experience working from a token-based design system. Experience, or strong interest, in making component libraries and content models consumable by AI agents. A strong design sensibility: an eye for visual detail and the judgement to push back on and improve design decisions, not just build them. Experience with localisation and internationalisation at scale for a global audience. Analytics and tag management implementation: dataLayer events, server-side tagging, getting attribution right without hurting performance. At Synthesia we're passionate about building, not talking, planning or politicising. We strive to hire the smartest, kindest and most unrelenting people and let them do their best work without distractions. Our work principles serve as our charter for how we make decisions, give feedback and structure our work to empower everyone to go as fast as possible. You can find out more about these principles _. 30 min call with our Technical Recruiter 45 min call with the Head of Website about your past projects 75 min practical exercise with one of our engineers. We hand you a real Figma section spec and work through how you'd model and build it.

SavvyMoney was recently recognized by the San Francisco Business Times and the Silicon Valley Journal as one of the "Top 25 Places to Work in the San Francisco Bay Area" and is an Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Company. Our company is growing and we are looking for Independent Senior Data Engineer Contractors to help support the growth. **This Independent Contractor will work 100% Remotely from your home office in Warsaw, Poland as part of a distributed team in the USA, Canada, Europe and several locations in India. We are growing our team and looking for a Lead ML/AI Platform Engineer. As a Lead ML/AI Platform Engineer at SavvyMoney, you will own the platform that takes machine learning from experiment to production — training infrastructure, model serving, inference pipelines, and the integration seams with our Java microservices. You will set technical direction for AI/ML across the company alongside our Data Platform Architect, and drive the engineering side of our GenAI/LLM and agent strategy — from retrieval architectures and evaluation harnesses to the guardrails required to run agentic workflows responsibly in a regulated environment. Partner with our Data Platform Architect to set technical direction for AI/ML across the company — architecture, tooling, standards, and build-vs-buy decisions. Own the ML/AI platform: training infrastructure, model serving, inference pipelines, and production integration. Feature engineering, model training, model registry, and hosted inference in Amazon SageMaker GenAI/LLM usage, fine-tuning, and agentic workflows in Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore Feedback and data pipelines built on AWS Glue, Lambda, and Step Functions Own the serving layer and integrate ML services cleanly with our Java microservices — define the API contracts and make the latency and throughput trade-offs. Drive the engineering side of our GenAI/LLM strategy: retrieval architectures, evaluation harnesses, serving patterns, and the judgment calls about which approach fits which problem. Bring depth on the emerging agent stack — MCP, agent workflow patterns, stateless and stateful designs, and the guardrails needed to run them responsibly in a regulated environment. Partner with our Data Scientist on the handoff from experimentation to production: productionize models, stand up the feature pipelines and serving infrastructure they need, and shorten the loop between training and deployment. Work with product, data, and engineering leadership to identify the highest-impact ML opportunities and translate them into roadmaps. Represent the AI/ML function in cross-functional forums, communicating trade-offs clearly to technical and non-technical audiences alike. Required 8+ years in software or ML engineering, including 5+ years shipping production ML systems and a track record of owning ambiguous, high-scope problems end to end. Demonstrated technical leadership: you've shaped the ML strategy of a team or organization, mentored senior engineers, and been the person others rely on for difficult architectural calls. Hands-on experience with both operating models we use: AWS managed ML stack: Amazon SageMaker (training, tuning, hosted endpoints, model registry), Amazon Bedrock, and AgentCore for GenAI and agentic workflows. Open-source ML tooling: JupyterLab for notebooks, Spark for distributed processing, MLflow for experiment tracking and model registry. Deep working knowledge of the AWS stack — S3, Athena, Redshift, Glue, Step Functions, Lambda — plus SQL skills strong enough to model data for both analytical and ML workloads. Production experience with GenAI/LLMs: RAG, prompt engineering, evaluation, and a clear grasp of the cost, latency, and safety trade-offs involved. Familiarity with vector databases (e.g., pgvector, Pinecone) and sound judgment on when they're warranted versus alternatives such as NoSQL retrieval. Working knowledge of Java sufficient to review service code, define API contracts, and debug integration issues with our microservices. Deep expertise in Python and the core ML stack: scikit-learn, pandas, NumPy, PyTorch and/or TensorFlow, XGBoost / LightGBM. Solid MLOps fundamentals — model monitoring, drift detection, reproducibility, experiment tracking, model registry, and cost observability — plus the ability to partner with DevOps on CI/CD rather than build it from scratch. Excellent written and verbal communication — you can write both the design doc that aligns a dozen engineers and the one-pager that aligns the exec team. Strong collaborator, comfortable operating in a role where scope is shared: you'll partner with a Data Scientist on models and DevOps on infrastructure, and you can navigate those seams while keeping clear ownership. Ability to operate as an independent contractor through your own entity or an approved contracting arrangement, with reliable overlap with US Pacific business hours for architecture reviews and cross-team work. Nice to Have Experience with ClickHouse or a comparable columnar / real-time analytical database. Fine-tuning experience (LoRA / QLoRA, instruction tuning, or RLHF). Streaming and real-time inference experience (Kafka, Kinesis, low-latency serving). Infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, AWS CDK, CloudFormation). Experience operating ML systems at meaningful scale — hundreds of millions of predictions per day, or equivalent. Open-source contributions, conference talks, papers, or patents in ML / applied ML. Data Scientist — leads feature engineering, model training, fine-tuning, and experimentation. You'll partner on the research-to-production handoff, stand up the infrastructure they need, and jointly own the quality of what ships. DevOps — owns CI/CD, deployment infrastructure, and platform observability. You'll partner on ML-specific extensions (model artifacts, reproducible environments, canary and shadow deployments) rather than rebuilding what already exists. Backend engineers — own the Java microservices that consume ML outputs. You'll define the contracts and own the serving side. Product and engineering leadership — you're the technical voice on what we should build with AI/ML, and how. Distributed processing: AWS Glue Orchestration: AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions Managed ML: Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Bedrock, AgentCore Open-source ML: JupyterLab, Spark, MLflow Storage & query: Amazon S3 (data lake), Amazon Athena, Amazon Redshift, ClickHouse Languages: Python (ML, pipelines), Java (microservices) Why This Role Matters Credit data is the core of what we do, and the opportunity to make it smarter — better offer targeting, better personalization, better insight for 1,600+ financial institutions and the consumers they serve — runs directly through the ML platform. Today that platform is early. You will be the person who defines what it becomes. Your decisions on architecture, tooling, and evaluation will set the ceiling on what every ML-driven feature at SavvyMoney can do for years.

Senior Cost Manager - Hotels & Hospitality UK and European projects Manchester preferred, with other UK locations considered | Hybrid working Permanent | Full-time Tempest Jones is supporting a leading international property and construction consultancy with the appointment of a Senior Cost Manager into its growing hotels and hospitality team. This is an opportunity for someone with credible hotel project experience who wants to turn that experience into a genuine specialism. You will work on distinctive hotel developments across the UK and Europe, ranging from projects for major international brands, including Hilton, through to exceptional luxury and super prime schemes. One recent commission involved approximately £30 million of fit out expenditure alone and formed part of one of only 5 hotels of its kind globally. The attraction is not simply the quality of the projects. You will work with clients from the earliest stages, helping shape their ideas, test the commercial implications of design decisions and develop hotels that are operationally effective, financially viable and memorable for the people who use them. The Opportunity You do not need to have spent your entire career working exclusively in hotels. What matters is that you have meaningful experience within the sector, understand the particular challenges involved and want to make hotels and hospitality a much bigger part of your career. You will join an established team with a strong client base and a growing pipeline of projects across the UK and Europe. The work will cover the full project lifecycle, from early feasibility and cost planning through procurement, construction and final account. A key part of the role will be helping hotel owners, operators and investors understand how design, specification and operational decisions affect cost, programme and commercial viability. This is therefore more than a traditional cost reporting position. You will have the opportunity to influence projects while the brief and design are still being shaped. Career Development The opportunity is to progress from someone with good hotel experience into a recognised adviser within the sector. Initially, you will focus on delivering projects, developing your knowledge and building trusted relationships with existing clients. As your credibility grows, you will take greater ownership of key accounts, help generate repeat work and progress towards Associate level. Rather than remaining a generalist across multiple sectors, this role gives you the platform, project pipeline and client exposure to build a clear professional identity around hotels and hospitality. Over time, this could develop into a wider client and sector leadership position across the UK and Europe. About You You may already be operating at Senior Cost Manager level or be a strong Cost Manager ready to take the next step. You will have a background in cost management or quantity surveying, gained within a consultancy, contractor or client side environment. You should have worked on hotel or hospitality projects and have enough sector exposure to understand the demands of refurbishment, fit out, redevelopment, cut and carve or new build schemes. You will also need experience across some or all of the project lifecycle, including cost planning, preconstruction, procurement and post contract delivery. The role is highly client facing, so you should be comfortable advising senior stakeholders, explaining commercial issues clearly and challenging decisions where appropriate. You do not need to arrive as the finished hotels expert. However, you should have a genuine interest in the sector and the ambition to develop deeper expertise over time. Chartered status would be beneficial, although those working towards chartership will also be considered. Location and Travel The hotels team and its leadership are based in Manchester, so Manchester and the wider North West are the preferred locations. However, the business recognises that strong hotel experience exists across the market and is open to considering candidates based elsewhere in the UK, including Yorkshire and London. The role will include travel to clients and projects across Europe. This will be on a visit basis for meetings, project reviews and key delivery stages, rather than involving long term site attendance or extended periods working away. You will gain international project exposure without having to build your life around constant travel. What Is on Offer This is a chance to work on genuinely interesting hotel projects for major clients across the UK and Europe while building a clear and valuable sector specialism. You will gain exposure to luxury and super prime developments, work closely with established hotel brands and develop towards Associate level and future client leadership. The role also offers flexible hybrid working, a competitive salary and benefits package, continued professional development and the opportunity to build a long term career within a growing international hotels business.
