Head of Banking & Finance Litigation / Property Litigation Banking & Finance Litigation | Property Receivership | Insolvency | Build & Lead a New Department Millions of pounds worth of work, no following required Salary: Circa £100,000 DOE + Bespoke Bonus PackageThe Opportunity: This is a genuinely rare opportunity for an experienced Banking & Finance Litigation Solicitor or Property Litigation Solicitor to establish and lead a brand-new department within a boutique law firm backed by an exceptionally strong and consistent source of work. Unlike most Head of Department opportunities, this role does not rely on you bringing a following or generating business. Instead, you will inherit access to a substantial volume of lender-based litigation work that is currently outsourced to external firms. The volume is already there—the firm simply needs the right person to build an in-house team capable of delivering it. If you've reached a stage in your career where you're looking for autonomy, the opportunity to shape a department in your own vision, and the security of guaranteed work from day one, this is an opportunity that is difficult to replicate.About the Firm: This boutique practice has deliberately remained lean, selective and highly specialised. The legal practice is owned by a successful debt recovery business responsible for recovering millions of pounds in property and banking finance matters every year. Rather than competing for work in an already crowded market, the firm benefits from an existing pipeline of lender instructions generated by its parent 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. Opportunities offering this combination of autonomy, guaranteed workflow and long-term growth are exceptionally rare.

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.

Learning Insighta Partner \n \n Location: Burton or Manchester hybrid \n Salary: £40,000 - £45,000 \n \n We are looking for a Learning Insights Partner to join a growing Learning & Development function at an exciting stage of its evolution. This is a newly defined role in a small but ambitious team, offering the chance to help shape how L&D supports the business moving forward. \n \n The opportunity \n L&D has been built largely from scratch and has already introduced key foundations including an LMS, apprenticeships, compliance learning and a leadership programme. The next phase is about moving from a reactive, operational service to a more strategic, outcomes-led function. \n This role is designed to bring capability, not just capacity. It will suit someone who enjoys owning programmes end to end, building strong stakeholder relationships, and using data and insight to show the impact of learning. \n \n What you’ll be doing \n\n • Owning L&D programmes end to end, ensuring strong coordination, organisation and delivery discipline\n, • Driving learner engagement and maintaining momentum across key initiatives\n, • Building relationships with stakeholders across the business to understand needs and support wider business priorities\n, • Using LMS data, feedback and wider business insight to improve reporting and demonstrate impact\n, • Supporting and improving the use of Thrive as a core learning platform\n, • Taking ownership of operational L&D activity while also contributing to the wider direction of the function\n\n \n What they’re looking for \n\n • A hands on L&D professional who can manage programmes operationally but also think more broadly about impact\n, • Strong stakeholder engagement and relationship-building skills\n, • Confidence working with ambiguity and taking a high-level brief and turning it into action\n, • A self-sufficient approach, with the confidence to challenge constructively and bring fresh thinking\n, • Curiosity, resilience and a continuous improvement mindset\n, • Confidence using data, insight and reporting to help demonstrate ROI and business impact\n\n \n What this role is not \n This is not a role for someone whose main motivation is classroom delivery or facilitation. There may be opportunities to support delivery, but the core focus is programme ownership, stakeholder partnering, operational excellence and impact measurement. \n \n Why it’s interesting \n This is a chance to join at the point where L&D is gaining traction and visibility, and to help shape what comes next. You’ll be joining a two-person team initially, with real scope to influence how learning is positioned and measured across the business. \n

Senior Business Consultant – Change Management | SAP S/4HANA \n \n £70,000–£90,000 + 10% bonus | North West or South West | Hybrid \n \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 \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 \n This is an opportunity to combine hands-on transformation delivery with senior-level consulting responsibility. \n \n More than just a Change Manager role \n \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 \n You’ll still be close to implementation, but at this level you'll also have a broader view of the programme. \n \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 \n You’ll also work with third-party technology and supply-chain partners, helping coordinate complex delivery and keeping stakeholders aligned. \n \n The person we’re looking for \n \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 \n Most importantly, we want evidence of what you have personally delivered. \n \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 \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 \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 \n That doesn't mean carrying a sales target. \n \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 \n Experience supporting presales, bids or proposals would be useful, but you don't need to be a salesperson or bid writer. \n \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 \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 \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 \n What’s on offer? \n \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 \n If you combine SAP S/4HANA expertise, manufacturing experience and senior Change Management capability, this could be a very interesting next move. \n \n Apply directly or message me for a confidential conversation.

Compensation & Benefits Manager \n \n Manchester (Hybrid – 3 days in the office) \n £80,000–£85,000 + 15% annual bonus + excellent benefits \n Confidential Retained Search \n \n Middlemore is delighted to be exclusively retained by a highly respected international financial services organisation to appoint a Compensation & Benefits Manager to support its UK and European operations. \n \n Whilst the remit spans the full Reward agenda, the organisation's greatest near-term priority sits within Benefits, particularly across its European operations. \n The Compensation offering is mature and well established, with a variety of rewarding project work across benchmarking, pay structures, incentives and regulatory developments. Benefits, however, is undergoing a more significant evolution, creating an opportunity for someone who enjoys solving operational complexity whilst shaping the future employee proposition across multiple European markets. \n \n You'll play a pivotal role in driving a broad range of strategic and operational initiatives, including: \n Benefits \n\n • European Benefits strategy and delivery across c.10 countries\n, • Annual Benefits renewals and vendor management\n, • Continued rollout and optimisation of an international Benefits platform\n, • Simplification of a complex supplier landscape\n, • Regulatory compliance and Collective Bargaining Agreements\n, • Improving operational efficiency through process improvement and technology\n\n Compensation \n\n • Annual salary and reward review cycles\n, • WTW job architecture and market benchmarking\n, • Variable pay and incentive frameworks\n, • European Pay Transparency initiatives\n, • Equal Pay and Gender Pay Gap reporting\n, • Workday compensation governance, reporting and data integrity\n\n \n This is a role for someone who enjoys remaining close to the detail. \n \n We're looking for an experienced Reward professional who is comfortable leading projects, influencing senior stakeholders and rolling up their sleeves to deliver operational excellence.

The HR team is collaborative, supportive and genuinely enjoyable to be part of, so finding someone who values working in that kind of environment is important. \n \n You may already be an experienced Compensation & Benefits professional with a strong Benefits bias, or you could be an established Benefits specialist looking to broaden your Reward remit. Equally, we'd welcome conversations with experienced professionals seeking a technically interesting role without the need for significant people management responsibilities. \n \n Experience across UK and European Benefits is essential (we're open-minded regarding the depth of your European experience), together with exposure to Compensation activities within a complex, international organisation. Financial Services or Insurance experience would be advantageous, although we're equally interested in candidates from other regulated or high-touch international environments where the experience is readily transferable. \n If you'd like to discuss the opportunity in confidence before applying, Jenna Stocks would be delighted to hear from you via jenna.stocks@middlemore.co.uk .

Senior Cost Manager - Hotels & Hospitality \n UK and European projects \n Manchester preferred, with other UK locations considered | Hybrid working \n Permanent | Full-time \n \n \n 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. \n \n This is an opportunity for someone with credible hotel project experience who wants to turn that experience into a genuine specialism. \n \n 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. \n \n 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. \n \n 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. \n \n \n The Opportunity \n \n 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. \n \n 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. \n \n 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. \n \n 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. \n \n \n Career Development \n \n The opportunity is to progress from someone with good hotel experience into a recognised adviser within the sector. \n \n 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. \n \n 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. \n \n Over time, this could develop into a wider client and sector leadership position across the UK and Europe. \n \n \n About You \n \n You may already be operating at Senior Cost Manager level or be a strong Cost Manager ready to take the next step. \n \n You will have a background in cost management or quantity surveying, gained within a consultancy, contractor or client side environment. \n \n 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. \n \n You will also need experience across some or all of the project lifecycle, including cost planning, preconstruction, procurement and post contract delivery. \n \n The role is highly client facing, so you should be comfortable advising senior stakeholders, explaining commercial issues clearly and challenging decisions where appropriate. \n \n 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. \n \n Chartered status would be beneficial, although those working towards chartership will also be considered. \n \n \n Location and Travel \n \n The hotels team and its leadership are based in Manchester, so Manchester and the wider North West are the preferred locations. \n \n 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. \n \n 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. \n \n You will gain international project exposure without having to build your life around constant travel. \n \n \n What Is on Offer \n \n 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. \n \n 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. \n \n 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. \n \n To apply, please submit your CV, or for a confidential discussion, contact Dean Forster at Tempest Jones on dean@tempestjones.com.
