Account Manager - Facilities Services London - Site Based Permanent - Full Time £70,000 - £80,000 + Flexible Benefits Summary This is a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal leadership role, taking the reins from a highly respected colleague who is retiring after building an outstanding client partnership. You'll be joining at an exciting moment: we have recently mobilised into a landmark new smart building in London, having already supported this prestigious legal firm across their wider estate for a number of years. This is not a start-up situation - it's a well-established, high-value contract with a genuinely engaged client and a strong, committed team already in place. As Account Manager, you'll have full accountability for a circa £8 million P&L, shaping the commercial and strategic direction of this high-profile contract. You'll work closely with the client at a senior level, driving continuous improvement and ensuring the building's cutting-edge systems are maintained to the very highest standards. Just as important, you'll be a visible, inspiring leader to your team - someone who invests in people, grows talent, and leaves the contract in an even stronger position than you found it. Some of the key deliverables in this role will include: Lead the Client Relationship at a Senior Level - Build on an already strong partnership with a highly engaged client, acting as a trusted strategic advisor and the face of NG Bailey on site. Own a circa £8 Million P&L - Take full commercial accountability, driving profitability, identifying growth opportunities, and delivering cost-effective, high-quality service solutions. Shape Strategy, Not Just Operations - Set the direction for this contract, working at a strategic level to anticipate client needs, plan for the future, and continuously raise the bar on service delivery within a state-of-the-art smart building environment. Develop and Inspire Your Team - Be the kind of leader people grow under. You'll coach, mentor, and develop a multidisciplinary engineering team, building capability and succession for the long term. Drive Innovation in a Smart Building Environment - Leverage the latest building technologies and systems to deliver operational excellence, embracing the opportunities that come with a brand-new, fully integrated smart building. Manage Supply Chain and Compliance - Oversee third-party contractors and specialist suppliers, ensuring all work meets our exacting safety, quality, and statutory compliance standards. What we're looking for : We're looking for a strategic leader - not an operator. Someone who thinks about the bigger picture, is commercially sharp, and understands that great client relationships are built on trust, consistency, and genuine partnership. You'll be walking into an enviable position: a loyal client, a motivated team, and a contract that is performing well. Your job is to take it further. An inspiring people leader with the ability to develop, coach and retain a high-performing team, with experience in: Proven P&L ownership in a complex FM or engineering services environment - ideally with experience managing contracts of comparable scale and value.

Account Manager - Facilities Services London - Site Based Permanent - Full Time £70,000 - £80,000 + Flexible Benefits Summary This is a rare opportunity to step into a pivotal leadership role, taking the reins from a highly respected colleague who is retiring after building an outstanding client partnership. You'll be joining at an exciting moment: we have recently mobilised into a landmark new smart building in London, having already supported this prestigious legal firm across their wider estate for a number of years. This is not a start-up situation - it's a well-established, high-value contract with a genuinely engaged client and a strong, committed team already in place. As Account Manager, you'll have full accountability for a circa £8 million P&L, shaping the commercial and strategic direction of this high-profile contract. You'll work closely with the client at a senior level, driving continuous improvement and ensuring the building's cutting-edge systems are maintained to the very highest standards. Just as important, you'll be a visible, inspiring leader to your team - someone who invests in people, grows talent, and leaves the contract in an even stronger position than you found it. Some of the key deliverables in this role will include: Lead the Client Relationship at a Senior Level - Build on an already strong partnership with a highly engaged client, acting as a trusted strategic advisor and the face of NG Bailey on site. Own a circa £8 Million P&L - Take full commercial accountability, driving profitability, identifying growth opportunities, and delivering cost-effective, high-quality service solutions. Shape Strategy, Not Just Operations - Set the direction for this contract, working at a strategic level to anticipate client needs, plan for the future, and continuously raise the bar on service delivery within a state-of-the-art smart building environment. Develop and Inspire Your Team - Be the kind of leader people grow under. You'll coach, mentor, and develop a multidisciplinary engineering team, building capability and succession for the long term. Drive Innovation in a Smart Building Environment - Leverage the latest building technologies and systems to deliver operational excellence, embracing the opportunities that come with a brand-new, fully integrated smart building. Manage Supply Chain and Compliance - Oversee third-party contractors and specialist suppliers, ensuring all work meets our exacting safety, quality, and statutory compliance standards. What we're looking for : We're looking for a strategic leader - not an operator. Someone who thinks about the bigger picture, is commercially sharp, and understands that great client relationships are built on trust, consistency, and genuine partnership. You'll be walking into an enviable position: a loyal client, a motivated team, and a contract that is performing well. Your job is to take it further. An inspiring people leader with the ability to develop, coach and retain a high-performing team, with experience in: Proven P&L ownership in a complex FM or engineering services environment - ideally with experience managing contracts of comparable scale and value. Strong senior client relationship management - you are comfortable in the room with senior stakeholders and know how to turn a good relationship into a great one. A background in M&E or engineering services, with the technical credibility to lead a skilled multidisciplinary team and engage meaningfully on complex building systems, including smart building technologies. A genuine passion for people development - a leader who creates an environment where individuals are supported, challenged, and given real opportunity to grow. Familiarity with statutory and compliance requirements (IOSH/NEBOSH desirable), and experience managing third-party supply chains to strict quality and safety standards. Benefits: We're always evolving our benefits to ensure we're attracting and retaining great people. Some of what you can expect includes: Car/Car allowance 25 Days Holiday + Bank Holidays with an option to Buy/Sell additional days Pension with a leading provider and up to 8% employer contribution Personal Wellbeing and Volunteer Days Private Medical Insurance Life Assurance Salary sacrifice car scheme (Hybrid/Electric Vehicle) Free 24/7 365 Employee Assistance Program to support mental health and well-being (including counselling sessions and legal advice) Flexible benefits to choose from inc: Dental Insurance, Gym Membership, Give As You Earn, Travel Insurance, Tax Free Bikes.

Salary - £40K - £60K per annum (plus Bonus) - hybrid working Oxford HQ Are you a Sales Engineer or Pre-Sales Consultant frustrated with delivering generic SaaS demos and looking to move into a more consultative, solution-led role within RegTech? We are working exclusively with an established, growing technology business of circa 120 employees that operates at the forefront of regulatory technology and structured data solutions. They are looking to hire a Sales Engineer as part of a replacement hire, continuing to invest in their pre-sales capability to support complex, high-value client engagements. This is a business that works with global organisations across financial services and regulated industries, where data accuracy, compliance and reporting are critical. The opportunity offers a step into a more involved role where you will influence solutions rather than simply present them. In this role, you will act as a trusted technical advisor across the full sales cycle, from discovery through to solution design and delivery of tailored demonstrations. You will work closely with customers to understand their regulatory, reporting and data challenges, translating these into bespoke technical solutions aligned to their requirements. Engagements will typically involve senior stakeholders including heads of reporting, regulatory leads and technical decision-makers within financial services and other regulated sectors. You will also collaborate internally with sales, product and engineering teams to shape solutions and contribute to deal strategy. The role requires someone who can balance technical depth with commercial awareness, playing a key part in progressing and winning complex opportunities. This position is suited to someone with around two to four years' experience in a Sales Engineer, Pre-Sales or Solutions Consultant role within a SaaS or technology environment. You will likely be looking for a step up from a role that is heavily demo-focused, into one where you can take greater ownership of solution design and customer engagement. A strong understanding of APIs, SaaS architectures or system integrations will be beneficial, alongside experience working with technical stakeholders. Exposure to regulatory environments, financial services or structured data would be advantageous, but not essential. Most importantly, you will be curious, detail-oriented and motivated to develop both your technical and commercial skill set. The company offers a collaborative and intellectually engaging environment, where technical and commercial contributions are equally valued and career progression is supported. You will have the opportunity to build expertise in a highly relevant and growing area within RegTech and regulatory data, with clear scope to take on greater responsibility over time. The role offers a base salary of £40,000 to £60,000, alongside a discretionary bonus and a comprehensive benefits package. Working is hybrid, with an expectation of three days per week in the Oxford office and some travel across the UK and Europe for client engagements. To find out more, apply now.

They are looking to hire a Sales Engineer as part of a replacement hire, continuing to invest in their pre-sales capability to support complex, high-value client engagements. This is a business that works with global organisations across financial services and regulated industries, where data accuracy, compliance and reporting are critical. The opportunity offers a step into a more involved role where you will influence solutions rather than simply present them. In this role, you will act as a trusted technical advisor across the full sales cycle, from discovery through to solution design and delivery of tailored demonstrations. You will work closely with customers to understand their regulatory, reporting and data challenges, translating these into bespoke technical solutions aligned to their requirements. Engagements will typically involve senior stakeholders including heads of reporting, regulatory leads and technical decision-makers within financial services and other regulated sectors. You will also collaborate internally with sales, product and engineering teams to shape solutions and contribute to deal strategy. The role requires someone who can balance technical depth with commercial awareness, playing a key part in progressing and winning complex opportunities. This position is suited to someone with around two to four years' experience in a Sales Engineer, Pre-Sales or Solutions Consultant role within a SaaS or technology environment. You will likely be looking for a step up from a role that is heavily demo-focused, into one where you can take greater ownership of solution design and customer engagement. A strong understanding of APIs, SaaS architectures or system integrations will be beneficial, alongside experience working with technical stakeholders. Exposure to regulatory environments, financial services or structured data would be advantageous, but not essential. Most importantly, you will be curious, detail-oriented and motivated to develop both your technical and commercial skill set. The company offers a collaborative and intellectually engaging environment, where technical and commercial contributions are equally valued and career progression is supported. You will have the opportunity to build expertise in a highly relevant and growing area within RegTech and regulatory data, with clear scope to take on greater responsibility over time. The role offers a base salary of £40,000 to £60,000, alongside a discretionary bonus and a comprehensive benefits package. Working is hybrid, with an expectation of three days per week in the Oxford office and some travel across the UK and Europe for client engagements. To find out more, apply now.

The Collecting Group operates two of the most respected platforms in the luxury collectibles market; Collecting Cars and Watch Collecting. Between them, they serve a global community of high-net-worth enthusiasts who transact at the top end of the market. We have sold over £1.1 billion worth of cars and watches across 120+ countries, and built a community of millions of people. Now we are looking for a CMO to own that brand and grow it deliberately.

This is a strategic and commercial role. You will set the direction, build the function, and be accountable for the results.

The Collecting Group operates two of the most respected platforms in the luxury collectibles market; Collecting Cars and Watch Collecting. Between them, they serve a global community of high-net-worth enthusiasts who transact at the top end of the market. We have sold over £1.1 billion worth of cars and watches across 120+ countries, and built a community of millions of people. Now we are looking for a CMO to own that brand and grow it deliberately. Someone who understands that in a world of shortening attention spans and AI-generated noise, a genuine reputation built on trust and expertise is one of the few things that cannot be replicated. The Role: At The Collecting Group, the CMO is a senior leadership role with full ownership of marketing strategy across the group. Reporting to the CEO, you will define how TCG builds brand authority, grows its audience, and converts that audience into commercial outcomes across both platforms. This is a strategic and commercial role. You will set the direction, build the function, and be accountable for the results. Day-to-day campaign execution is not the focus; defining how the group competes for attention and trust in its markets is - especially organically and sustainably. The group has significant growth ambitions. New platforms, new categories, and new markets are part of the roadmap. The CMO will play a central role in shaping how the brand evolves as that ambition is realised.
