Description The Senior Retail Data & Systems Manager is a key role within the Retail function, focused on ensuring that business systems and data processes fully support commercial objectives and Retail operational needs. It will be responsible for developing, maintaining, and supporting Retail business systems (acting as the Product Owner) so they align with strategic goals and operational requirements. Responsibilities The Senior Retail Data & Systems Manager serves as the business owner for a Salesforce-based platform, taking full responsibility for its development roadmap and ensuring that all enhancements align with business priorities. This includes managing the delivery of sprint points through a third-party development partner, overseeing both the strategic pipeline and quick-win initiatives, and ensuring that progress is tracked and communicated effectively. The role requires internal prioritization, team management, ownership and a good technical understanding while externally reporting successes, risks, and failures at a senior level, providing clear visibility of system performance and development outcomes. A critical accountability is maintaining the integrity and accuracy of Retail data by leading data collection, validation, and reporting processes. The manager collaborates closely with Retail Category teams, Finance, IT, and Business Support Teams to identify, analyse, and resolve data issues quickly, minimising disruption to month-end financial activities.

The position provides expertise on Retail business systems, guiding enhancements and integrations that improve operational efficiency and support the development of reporting tools that enable effective decision making and strategic planning. Driving continuous improvements in data quality is essential, ensuring that reporting outputs meet high standards and support commercial objectives. The role should bring a technical creativity through long term vision; allowing us to both improve the here and now but with a view to how those improvements ladder into new and innovative ways of getting high value from our existing data, as well as identifying opportunities to integrate, include or source new data. The manager will be responsible for building the business validation for any incurred costs, and working with key system stakeholders to ensure data gets ingested and transformed in a way which meets the needs of the business. As the primary point of contact for system related queries, the manager coordinates with IT teams to resolve technical challenges and supports change management efforts by delivering training and guidance on system updates and enhancements. Strong stakeholder management is vital, requiring proactive engagement with internal and external partners-including Retail Account Managers, Retail Brand Partners, Business Services Team, IT, Finance, and Commercial Data & Analytics teams-to resolve data discrepancies and maintain confidence in system outputs. The role also supports business as usual activities and other commercial systems related initiatives, ensuring that process documentation and training guides are consistently maintained and updated to reflect any changes.

General Practice Partner, Accountancy East Sussex Competitive package + clear pathway to equity We re working with a modern, ambitious accountancy and advisory firm looking to appoint a General Practice Partner in East Sussex. This is a genuine leadership opportunity with immediate portfolio ownership, real influence, and a clear route toward future equity participation. The incoming Partner will step into a substantial existing client base and help shape the next phase of growth alongside an established senior partner. This role will appeal to an experienced general practice professional who may already be operating at Partner level, but it could equally suit a high-performing Director, Associate or Senior Manager who is doing the job already and not getting the progression, trust or long-term opportunity they have earned. The brief specifically calls for someone with significant general practice experience, likely including time at a senior level, strong client relationship skills, and the credibility to grow a regional presence. Why this role stands out: • Genuine partnership-level influence from day one • A substantial portfolio to inherit, with allocated recurring fees expected to be around £1m. • Clear progression toward future equity • The chance to help lead an established East Sussex office alongside one other senior partner • Access to wider specialist services including tax advisory, corporate finance, financial planning and outsourced finance support • A real opportunity to deepen client relationships and unlock advisory work across an already strong client base • A modern firm investing in workflow, automation and AI-assisted practice operations • A business that already operates with significant offshore capability embedded into the delivery model, offering scale and broader support The opportunity: This is not a parked portfolio role. It is a chance to take ownership, build profile, strengthen client relationships, develop the team and play a visible part in growing a regional practice. The office has an established reputation across East Sussex and the wider South East, and there is real headroom to broaden client relationships and increase the value of the service offering. What you ll be doing: • Taking ownership of a significant general practice portfolio from day one • Acting as a trusted adviser to owner-managed businesses, entrepreneurial clients and private individuals • Overseeing accounts, corporation tax, personal tax and wider advisory matters across the portfolio • Identifying opportunities around tax planning, remuneration structuring, succession planning, cash extraction and broader strategic advice • Connecting clients with in-house specialists across corporate finance, wealth, tax and outsourced finance • Helping to grow the office through business development, referrals, profile-building and relationship-led new business activity • Providing technical leadership across financial reporting, UK GAAP and broader owner-managed business matters • Coaching and developing team members across the office • Supporting the continued integration and development of an offshore team that is central to service delivery • Contributing to process improvement, technology adoption and more modern ways of working across the practice Who this could suit This could be ideal for you if you are: • A Director, Associate or Senior Manager in general practice who feels ready for a bigger platform • Frustrated by slow progression or a lack of clarity around your route to Partner • Already leading clients, developing business and operating as a senior figure, but without the title, autonomy or reward to match • An established Partner looking for a more commercial, growth-focused and modern environment • ACA, ACCA or equivalent qualified with strong all-round general practice experience • Technically strong, commercially minded and credible with owner-managed businesses • Well networked in East Sussex, Kent or the wider South East, or confident you can build that presence quickly What they re looking for: • Significant post-qualified experience in general practice • A strong background in managing and growing a broad client portfolio • Technical strength across accounting, financial reporting and tax matters affecting owner-managed businesses • Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to win trust quickly • Commercial instinct and an eye for advisory opportunities • A genuine interest in leading and developing people • Openness to modern delivery models, including offshore collaboration, workflow automation and AI-enabled improvements • Willingness to travel to northern India at least annually as part of the wider leadership remit If you are already doing the hard part of a Partner role but are still waiting for the recognition, influence or long-term opportunity to catch up, this could be the point where things change.
