What We’re Looking For\n \n We’re looking for someone who is equally comfortable thinking about how a product should work as they are designing how it should look. \n \n You’ll probably have: \n \n\n • Strong experience designing digital products, SaaS platforms or fintech products\n, • An exceptional portfolio demonstrating both UX thinking and high-quality UI\n, • Experience designing complex workflows and simplifying them for users\n, • Experience creating and maintaining design systems in Figma\n, • Strong understanding of responsive and mobile-first design\n, • Experience working directly with developers\n, • The ability to wireframe and prototype ideas quickly\n, • Strong commercial awareness and understanding that good design ultimately needs to improve conversion, engagement and efficiency\n, • Confidence challenging existing thinking rather than simply taking instructions\n\n \n Fintech experience would be useful, particularly within lending, banking, payments or financial marketplaces, but it isn’t essential. \n \n We care much more about the quality of your work and how you think.

ServiceNow CRM Specialist\n UK Wide Hybrid | Permanent | Up to the high £90k + bonus and benefits \n ServiceNow is making a bigger push into CRM, but there still are not many people who have spent years working across its newer customer products. The hiring manager knows that, so this is less about matching every module and more about finding someone who understands ServiceNow, CRM and how good customer operations should work. \n I'm working with a large transformation consultancy that wants to build its capability in this area ahead of expected client demand. They need a senior consultant who can sit with a client, understand how their customer services currently operate and help them work out what the future should look like. What You'll Be Doing\n You'll lead discovery sessions with customer operations, service and technology teams. You'll look at existing customer journeys, processes and systems, identify where services are falling short and turn that into a sensible transformation roadmap and business case. \n The work could involve customer case management, contact centre processes, field operations, self-service and workflow automation. You'll help shape solutions using either ServiceNow CSM or FSM, depending on the client and your own background. You may also be asked to help clients understand where ServiceNow fits alongside established CRM platforms such as Salesforce. \n This is not a hands-on development role. The wider consultancy has delivery teams that can handle the detailed implementation. Your job is to make sure the right problem is being solved, the proposed approach makes sense and the client understands the value they should get from it. \n You'll also support proposals, presentations and early conversations with prospective clients as the consultancy builds its customer workflow offering. What They're Looking For\n You'll probably come from a ServiceNow consulting, CRM transformation, business architecture or customer operations background. You need a good understanding of the ServiceNow platform and ideally experience with CSM or FSM. You do not need both. \n They are more interested in whether you understand CRM properly. You should be comfortable discussing customer journeys, case management, service operating models and the role technology can play in improving the experience for both customers and service teams. \n Candidates with a strong Salesforce or wider CRM background will also be considered, but you will still need enough ServiceNow knowledge to speak confidently about the platform and how its workflows could support customer operations. \n You'll need to be comfortable leading workshops, advising senior stakeholders and turning broad business problems into clear recommendations. Experience developing roadmaps, business cases or client proposals would be useful. ServiceNow certifications would be a bonus, but they are not the main thing the manager will judge you on. Why It's Worth Looking At\n This is a chance to get involved in an area of ServiceNow that is still taking shape. You will not be stepping into a rigid role or simply repeating the same type of implementation. You'll help decide how the consultancy approaches the market and what its customer workflow offering should look like. \n It should suit someone who enjoys ServiceNow but wants to spend less time on configuration and more time working with senior clients, shaping programmes and solving business problems. \n You can be based anywhere in the UK. Travel to one of the consultancy's UK offices will usually be around once a month, with client travel required at key project milestones. \n If your current title is different but your background covers ServiceNow, CRM and customer transformation, I'd still be keen to speak with you. \n \n Modis International Ltd acts as an employment agency for permanent recruitment and an employment business for the supply of temporary workers in the UK.

If you already handle Professional Indemnity business and find yourself increasingly drawn towards the more technical end of the market, this is a role worth considering. It is particularly relevant if you have experience with construction PI, architects, engineers, design and construct risks, or other professions where understanding the detail behind the exposure matters. \n This is a Manchester-based PI Account Handler position with an established specialist insurance brokerage. The salary is £35,000-£45,000 depending on experience, with hybrid working and the opportunity to develop further within a business where Professional Indemnity is a genuine area of expertise rather than one class among many. \n \n The opportunity \n There is a noticeable difference between handling PI within a general commercial book and working around people who understand the market properly. This role gives you the latter, with a particular bias towards construction-related Professional Indemnity risks and the technical issues that come with them. \n You will support the management of an established portfolio, working closely with colleagues and insurers to make sure risks are presented properly, renewals are handled thoroughly and clients receive informed advice throughout the policy lifecycle. \n For somebody who enjoys PI but wants greater exposure to construction risks, this offers a sensible route to deepen that specialism without needing to move away from account handling or client servicing. \n \n What the role involves \n Your day-to-day responsibilities will include: \n\n • Managing renewals, mid-term adjustments and general servicing across a portfolio of Professional Indemnity clients.\n, • Handling construction PI risks, including businesses involved in areas such as architecture, engineering, consultancy and design.\n, • Preparing renewal information and insurer submissions, making sure the relevant risk information is captured and presented clearly.\n, • Liaising with insurers and specialist PI markets regarding terms, cover, queries and placement requirements.\n, • Working closely with Account Executives and broking colleagues to provide a consistent service to clients.\n, • Reviewing policy documentation and helping clients understand the cover being arranged.\n, • Building your technical knowledge of Professional Indemnity and the changing risk considerations affecting construction professionals.\n\n \n Who this role could suit \n\n • The strongest fit will be somebody already working within commercial insurance who has hands-on Professional Indemnity experience. You might currently be a PI Account Handler, Professional Risks Account Handler, Broker or technically focused Commercial Account Handler who has developed a genuine interest in professional risks.\n, • Experience of construction PI would be particularly useful, although you do not necessarily need to have spent your entire career specialising in it. Exposure to architects, consulting engineers, design and construct, surveyors or related professional risks would all translate well.\n, • You will need to be comfortable dealing with detailed insurance information, speaking with insurers and managing renewals where simply rolling the policy over is not good enough.\n\n \n Why consider it? \n\n • The attraction here is the combination of specialism and stability. You can build deeper expertise in a technically interesting area of the Professional Indemnity market while remaining in a hands-on broking and account handling role.\n, • You will be joining colleagues who work with PI regularly, which means there is relevant experience around you and the chance to become more technically accomplished rather than being expected to cover every class of commercial insurance.\n, • The Manchester location also comes with hybrid working, giving you a balance between being around the team and having flexibility during the week.\n\n \n Salary and benefits \n\n • Salary of £35,000-£45,000, depending on experience.\n, • Hybrid working from Manchester.\n, • Exposure to specialist construction Professional Indemnity business.\n, • The opportunity to deepen your technical PI knowledge within an established brokerage environment.\n, • A role that can suit an experienced Account Handler looking for a stronger specialism without giving up the parts of broking they already enjoy.\n\n \n The next step \n If you have Professional Indemnity experience and would like to understand more about the team, the construction PI portfolio and what the role could offer you, get in touch for a confidential conversation. You do not need to have made a decision about moving before speaking with us.
