Founding Head of Go-To-MarketManchester (hybrid) B2B AI Software The first GTM hireA rare founding opportunity to define the category and own go-to-market at a profitable, fast-growing UK AI software company.We're partnering with an award-winning, bootstrapped and genuinely profitable Manchester AI software business. Their platform automates high-volume correspondence and document processing for large enterprises in regulated sectors, and it's already proven at scale with major clients. They've built all of this without a marketing function, and now they're ready to go from high-touch, early-adopter deals to a repeatable, productised go-to-market motion. This is the hire that makes that happen.The opportunityThis is a true founding role: the first dedicated go-to-market and marketing hire, working directly with the founders to decide what the company is, who it sells to and what it says, then building the engine (and in time the team) to scale it. It's hands-on and build-from-scratch, a player-coach who does the work before managing it. Not a brand-only role, not a sales-quota role, not a pure management role.What you'll ownPositioning and category: turn "we can apply this to anyone" into a sharp, defensible "we are the X for Y."Market and beachhead selection: decide which vertical to commit to first, on real evidence, and sequence the rest.Messaging and copy: the website, the sales narrative and the outbound, written by you, not briefed to an agency.The demand-generation engine: channels, sequences, content and qualification that create pipeline from near-zero.Events and sector community, and shaping how the product adapts to each new market you choose.Build the playbook, then hire and lead the team behind it.What we're looking forYou've crossed the chasm before: taken a B2B software product from bespoke, consultative or early-adopter selling into a repeatable, productised, mainstream motion. This is the core requirement.Early-stage B2B SaaS go-to-market experience (roughly seed to Series B), where the category wasn't yet defined, not inside a big company with an established brand and playbook.A hands-on category and positioning builder who has authored a narrative a company actually went to market with.Demand generation from near-zero, with pipeline numbers you owned.You write and you build, and you can sell into senior, sophisticated buyers.Strongly preferred: experience in regulated or vertical B2B (legal-tech, regtech, fintech, proptech, insurance), and breadth across more than one market.Why joinA genuine greenfield founding role: define the category and own GTM from the ground up, rare at a company already generating real revenue.Profitable and bootstrapped, so no VC pressure and the freedom and budget to do GTM properly.Direct line to the founders, outsized impact, and a strong package including meaningful equity.Manchester HQ, hybrid working.Interested?

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.

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.

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.

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
