With multiple sites across the UK and Ireland, a reputation for exceptional staff retention and ambitious plans for future, they are now investing in a brand-new Engineering Manager position to transform how engineering is delivered across the business. This isn't a role where you'll simply inherit established processes. Instead, you'll have the opportunity to build the engineering function from the ground up, driving consistency across multiple locations, reducing reliance on external contractors, and creating a long-term engineering strategy that will support the business for years to come. If you're someone who enjoys improving infrastructure, leading projects, influencing senior stakeholders and implementing change, this is the kind of opportunity that doesn't come around often. The RoleReporting directly to the Managing Director, you'll take ownership of engineering activity across several UK sites, becoming the technical lead for all engineering and maintenance operations. Initially, you'll spend time travelling with senior leadership to understand each depot, its equipment, infrastructure, and operational challenges before developing your own engineering roadmap and long-term improvement strategy. You'll oversee engineering standards across every location, introducing consistency, improving asset reliability, and implementing preventative maintenance programmes that reduce downtime and improve operational performance. Alongside the strategic aspects of the role, you'll also lead engineering projects ranging from equipment upgrades and infrastructure improvements through to civil and electrical works, ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and in line with business objectives. You'll also manage a small engineering team, supporting existing engineers while helping develop future engineering capability across the business. Key Responsibilities- Lead the engineering function across multiple UK sites. - Report directly to the Managing Director, providing strategic engineering direction. - Manage and develop a team of engineers across the business. - Implement a company-wide preventative maintenance strategy. - Develop long-term asset management plans for ageing plant and equipment. - Identify opportunities to reduce external engineering costs by strengthening internal capability. - Lead engineering, infrastructure, and CAPEX projects across multiple depots. - Oversee installations including mechanical, electrical, and civil works. - Standardise engineering processes across all locations. - Conduct regular site visits to review plant condition, maintenance standards, and future investment requirements. - Work closely with the Technical department to ensure compliance with COMAH regulations, HSE legislation, MAPP requirements, and industry best practice. - Drive continuous improvement, reliability, and operational efficiency across the engineering function. About YouYou'll be an experienced engineering professional who enjoys taking ownership, influencing change, and building engineering functions rather than simply maintaining them. You'll be comfortable operating strategically whilst remaining hands-on enough to understand plant, equipment and engineering challenges across a busy operational environment. We're particularly interested in individuals with experience within chemical manufacturing, chemical processing, chemical distribution, or other highly regulated industrial environments. You'll ideally have:- Significant engineering leadership experience (typically around 10+ years). - Experience within the chemical industry or chemical distribution sector. - An Engineering qualification (Chemical Engineering degree advantageous). - Strong understanding of COMAH regulations and highly regulated environments. - Experience implementing preventative maintenance systems. - Proven project management experience delivering engineering improvements and infrastructure projects. - Leadership experience with the ability to develop engineering teams. - Strong knowledge of plant, process equipment, storage systems, and industrial machinery. - Excellent stakeholder management skills and the confidence to work closely with senior leadership. - A willingness to travel regularly across UK sites, with occasional travel to Ireland. What's on Offer?- £60,000 - £70,000 salary (DOE) - Company car (premium vehicle provided) - Company credit card for all business travel and expenses - Pension salary sacrifice scheme - Private health insurance - Employee discount platform- The chance to create and shape an engineering function with genuine backing from senior leadership Why Apply?Opportunities like this are incredibly rare. This isn't replacing an existing Engineering Manager or stepping into a well-defined role- it's a chance to create one. You'll have the support of an experienced senior leadership team, the autonomy to shape engineering strategy across multiple locations and the opportunity to leave a lasting impact on a business that genuinely invests in its people and takes pride in long-term careers. If you're looking for a role where your ideas will be listened to, your experience will be valued and your work will genuinely influence the future direction of the business, we'd love to hear from you. \n

Unlike most Head of Department opportunities, this role does not rely on you bringing a following or generating business.

A significant proportion of this work is currently outsourced, creating an immediate opportunity for a senior lawyer to bring these matters in-house and build a dedicated litigation team around them. With just five people currently in the firm, you'll join at an exciting stage of growth while benefiting from an unusually low-risk platform for expansion.The Work: You'll take ownership of a varied and technically interesting caseload acting primarily for lenders and financial institutions, including: Banking and finance litigation Property receivership matters Distressed property litigation Mortgage enforcement Possession proceedings Finance litigation Business insolvency Corporate disputes Statutory demands Recovery and enforcement litigation Complex lender-based disputes This is high-quality, specialist work within a niche area of the market, offering genuine variety and long-term stability.The Role: This position is about far more than managing files. You'll have the freedom to: Build and lead an entirely new Banking & Finance / Property Litigation department Design processes, systems and workflows that suit your style Recruit and mentor your own team as the department grows Shape the strategic direction of the practice area Work closely with the firm's leadership on future expansion Importantly, there is no expectation to undertake business development or bring a client following. Your focus will be on delivering excellent legal work and building a successful department from an already established workflow.About You: Applications are welcomed from senior solicitors or legal executives with substantial experience in one or more of the following: Banking & Finance Litigation Property Litigation Property Receivership Insolvency Litigation Lender Services Mortgage Enforcement Recovery & Enforcement You may already be a Head of Department, Partner, Legal Director or Senior Associate looking for the next step, or an ambitious senior lawyer seeking the autonomy to create something of your own without the financial risk that usually comes with building a new practice.Salary & Benefits: Circa £100,000 salary (negotiable depending on experience) Highly competitive and imaginative bonus structure tailored to the successful candidate Opportunity to build and lead your own department Genuine autonomy with strategic input Immediate access to a substantial pipeline of quality work No requirement for business development Long-term career progression with Partnership potential Modern, entrepreneurial and supportive working environment This is an exceptional opportunity for an experienced litigation lawyer who wants the freedom of building something from the ground up, backed by the security of an established and highly profitable source of work.

CREATIVE DIRECTOR - GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY-LED BUSINESS \n \n This is a rare opportunity to lead the creative function for a globally established business at a genuine point of evolution. This is a growing global creative function, bringing together talent across multiple locations and creating a more ambitious, agile and creatively progressive team. You’ll have the opportunity to define the creative standard, strengthen team culture and help evolve the function from a production-led service into a more strategic creative partner to the wider organisation. \n \n This is not a role for someone looking for a traditional corporate creative environment. The business has the scale, complexity and brand guardrails of a major global organisation, but is operating with the pace, curiosity and ambition of a much more entrepreneurial business. With significant change underway, new initiatives coming to market, increased focus on technology and AI, and an ambition to communicate in a more social-first and human way, this is a moment where the right creative leader can genuinely make their mark. \n \n What they need - \n\n • Someone who can set a creative vision and raise the bar - you’ll be responsible for defining what great creative looks like across campaigns, social, digital, events, presentations, commercial materials and product launches, bringing a sharper, more energetic and contemporary creative perspective without losing sight of an established global brand\n, • A digital native creative with a genuine builder’s mindset - this is as much about creating a high-performing creative culture as it is about the work. You’ll bring together an established group of creatives across different locations, establish a shared sense of purpose, encourage experimentation and feedback, and create the conditions for people to do their best work\n, • Someone who knows how to be creatively ambitious within real-world constraints. You’ll understand that large global brands come with established guidelines, stakeholder complexity and approval processes, but you’ll know how to navigate those boundaries, influence decision-makers and find opportunities to push the work rather than defaulting to safe or formulaic creative\n, • A creative leader who is comfortable operating at strategic level - you’ll have a seat at the table with senior leadership and strategic creative partners, contributing to conversations about the future direction of the brand and translating strategic thinking into creative principles that can live through everyday output\n, • Someone who brings an agency mentality and pace - ideally you’ll have significant agency experience, or a strong agency foundation alongside in-house experience. You’ll be comfortable with variety, high volumes of work, competing stakeholders and fast-moving briefs, while knowing how to move an in-house team beyond simply taking orders and delivering production\n\n \n What you're great at - \n\n • Approaching creative campaigns and assets from a digital-first, social-native perspective. You’ll have a portfolio demonstrating strong creative thinking across social, digital and performance marketing, with an understanding of how an idea needs to adapt to the platform rather than simply being resized or repurposed\n, • Integrated campaigns and brand storytelling - you’ll have experience leading creative across larger brand campaigns, product launches, events, presentations, video, commercial/RFP materials and marketing communications, with the ability to connect multiple outputs through one strong creative idea\n, • Technology and emerging creative possibilities - you’re genuinely curious about technology and AI-supported creative workflows, understand where tools such as generative AI can enhance creativity, speed and production capability, and are thoughtful enough to know when AI adds value versus when it simply creates noise\n, • Creative leadership and team development - you’ll have experience leading, mentoring and inspiring creative teams, setting standards through reviews and critique, giving clear direction and feedback, and creating cohesion across distributed or international teams and cultures\n, • Senior stakeholder management and global communication - you’ll be confident presenting creative thinking to senior executives, challenging constructively, responding to criticism and influencing without relying on hierarchy. You’ll also have the cultural awareness to understand that creative ideas, tone and storytelling need to work across different markets and audiences, as well as managing contributors across a variety of geographies/time zones\n\n \n What you'll get – \n\n • The opportunity to lead and shape an evolving global creative function, influencing its culture, creative standard and ways of working\n, • Manchester-based, with a hybrid working model expected to be around 2–3 days in the office, with the wider creative team distributed internationally\n\n

Club L London is the next-generation online fashion retailer for the forward-thinking woman. Conceptualised and crafted in-house and abroad, we specialise in accessible luxury and designs of unrivalled quality that flatter all figures. From prom to occasion, maternity, bridal, and beyond, we deliver an elevated shopping experience that connects our global community of trend-setting consumers, influencers, and content creators with fresh collections dropping weekly. Club L London has grown rapidly across product range, storefronts and international markets, but brand identity has not kept pace - the vision has become diluted and is not consistently landing with customers or the business. This role exists to fix that. The Brand Director owns the Club L London brand outright: the strategy, the identity, and final approval over how it is expressed everywhere it shows up - product, campaigns, imagery, tone of voice, packaging, social media, PR and events. This is not an advisory or strategy-only role. The Brand Director is the brand's guardian and final sign-off authority across every consumer-facing touchpoint, including who the brand partners with and how it shows up in the press and in person; the Creative Director and studio team execute under their direction, in the way a Creative Director/Head of Design would report into a Brand Director at a comparable premium fashion business. • Define and own Club L London's brand positioning, target customer, and point of difference versus competitors, grounded in commercial data and customer insight., • Set the brand strategy end-to-end and present it to the CEO for sign-off; once approved, hold full authority for how it is delivered day-to-day., • Own the brand guideline (tone of voice, visual identity, brand world, do's and don'ts) as the single reference point for every team touching the brand., • Act as final approver — not just reviewer — of all campaigns, product imagery, packaging, tone of voice and wholesale/in-store presentation before they go live., • Direct the Creative Director and studio team on brand vision and standards; the Brand Director sets and protects the vision, the Creative Director's team executes it under their sign-off., • Have the authority to stop or send back any creative output that doesn't meet the brand standard, and the accountability for explaining why., • Run a simple, fast approval process (clear checkpoints, no unnecessary bureaucracy) so brand guardianship speeds work up rather than slowing it down., • Own the social media strategy and content direction across all Club L London channels, ensuring tone, visuals and campaign tie-ins are consistently on-brand., • Set and approve the influencer, ambassador and partnership outreach strategy — who the brand associates with, and why it fits the positioning., • Own PR strategy and the relationship with the PR agency/press office, including proactive press outreach, launch moments and reputation management., • Own the events calendar — product launches, press days, pop-ups and brand activations — ensuring each event is a deliberate expression of the brand, not a one-off marketing push., • Ensure social, PR and events activity is planned in lockstep with the product and campaign calendar, so the brand tells one consistent story across every channel at any given time., • Work with Buying & Merchandising to ensure product ranges reflect and reinforce brand positioning, not just commercial trend-chasing., • Partner with Ecommerce and CRM/Marketing to ensure brand identity is expressed consistently on-site and in campaigns across all storefronts (UK, EU, US, AU, UAE, KSA and beyond)., • Work with the Insights team to track brand health, customer perception, social engagement and competitor positioning, and use this to inform ongoing strategy., • Represent the brand in wholesale conversations (e.g. Harvey Nichols, Bloomingdale's, Ounass) to ensure positioning is protected as the brand scales into premium retail., • Line-manage the Creative Director, Social Media Lead and PR & Events Lead, setting clear brand standards and giving direct, specific feedback on execution against them.Build the wider brand function over time as the remit is established, recruiting where the business case supports it., • A clearly articulated and CEO-approved brand strategy and identity guideline for Club L London., • Every campaign, product shoot, social post and piece of press/events activity visibly on-brand, with the Brand Director's sign-off as the standard checkpoint., • A social and PR calendar that reinforces the same brand story as product and campaigns, rather than running as a separate workstream., • Improved brand health / customer perception metrics, tracked with the Insights team., • A Creative Director and studio team operating confidently within a clear brand standard, with disputes over direction the exception rather than the norm., • Proven track record building, repositioning or protecting a brand within fashion, apparel or a comparable premium consumer category — ideally including direct line management of a Creative Director or design team., • Experience operating at senior Director level, ideally within a fast-growing, multi-brand or multi-market business., • Strong commercial and analytical grounding — able to translate brand strategy into measurable outcomes, not just mood boards., • Decisive leadership style; comfortable being the final word on creative output and giving direct feedback to senior creative talent., • Track record owning social media strategy and PR/press relationships for a consumer brand, alongside product and campaign work — this is a brand role with a communications remit, not a pure design/creative one., • Experience working across international/multi-storefront ecommerce businesses (desirable: Shopify)., • Experience in womenswear, contemporary fashion, or a brand with a strong social/digital-led customer base., • Experience presenting brand strategy to board or executive level., • Existing press/media contacts and experience planning brand events or activations., • Exposure to premium wholesale partnerships and international market nuance (EU, US, GCC)., • Annual bonus scheme, • Bi-Annual Dress Allowance, • 25 days of annual leave (plus bank holidays), • Extra day off for your birthday, • Flexible working hours around core hours of 10-4, • Early Finish Fridays, • Cycle to work scheme, • 40% staff discount across Club L and Lavish Alice products, • Healthcare Cashplan, • Free onsite gym, • Enhanced pension contribution, • Enhanced maternity and sick pay, • Free snacks, drinks & treats, • Social events #J-18808-Ljbffr
