Business Manager Defence Land Sector Location: Hybrid / Flexible (Offices in several UK hubs) Basis: Permanent Full-time or Part-time options available You will need to be eligible for MOD SC Clearance to be suitable for this position, that means you must have a UK Passport as a minimum. The Opportunity I am currently partnering with a standout engineering and safety consultancy that is looking for a Defence Land Business Manager to spearhead their growth in the Land domain. What makes my client unique is their structure: they are an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) . This means the business is run entirely for the benefit of the staff, not external shareholders. It creates a culture of genuine accountability, long-term stability, and a refreshingly collaborative atmosphere where everyone has a stake in the company's success. The Role This isn't just a "sales" role; it's a strategic leadership position. My client has seen significant growth over the last few years and they need someone to own the Land sector's roadmap. You'll be tasked with: Defining the 5-year strategy: Mapping out how the business will support the Land market through 2030 and beyond. Driving Business Development: Identifying and capturing new opportunities across Land Mobility, Soldier Systems, Uncrewed Systems, and C4ISR. Relationship Management: Leveraging your existing network within the UK Defence Land domain to build high-performing partnerships. Proposal Leadership: Working alongside technical teams to craft winning bids and mentoring junior staff on the commercial side of consultancy. Customer Liaison: Acting as the primary point of contact for key collaborators and industry partners. What They're Looking For To be successful here, you'll need a solid footing in the UK Defence sector-specifically within a consultancy or professional services environment. Market Knowledge: You should have a deep understanding of the Land domain (think Battlefield Digitisation, autonomous systems, or vehicle programmes). Network: You've got a "black book" of contacts and a reputation for delivery within the client and supply-chain communities. Strategic Mindset: You can demonstrate a track record of capture planning and winning work in complex environments. Communication: You're comfortable engaging and influencing stakeholders at all levels, from engineers to senior directors. Security: You must be a UK national capable of obtaining (or already holding) UK Security Clearance. Why Join Them? Because they are employee-owned, my client reinvests in their people rather than focusing on short-term dividends. You can expect: Financial Upside: Competitive salary plus an annual bonus linked to both personal and company performance (including tax-exempt elements unique to EOTs). Genuine Flexibility: They mean it when they say "hybrid." They balance individual needs with company objectives, supporting work-life harmony. Professional Backing: They'll pay for your professional institution memberships and provide top-tier training in consultancy and technical skills. The Extras: Private medical (after probation), Life Assurance, 25 days leave (with the option to buy/sell), and a Cycle to Work scheme. Services advertised by Gold Group are those of an Agency and/or an Employment Business. We will contact you within the next 14 days if you are selected for interview.

Account Manager (Accounts Production) Norwich (Hybrid) £30,000 to £38,000 FTE If you trained in practice, still love getting the books right, and want to work somewhere that actually stands for something this one is worth reading. About the firm This is a hugely successful accountancy practice based in Norwich, serving around 600 clients across the UK. Their client base reads differently to most - owner-managed SMEs, entrepreneurs, charities, CICs, and mission-driven organisations who care about more than just the numbers. The service offer goes beyond core compliance into R&D tax, carbon accounting, ESG reporting, and fractional CFO work. They are also genuinely forward-thinking about how they work. AI tooling is embedded into day-to-day practice. An offshore delivery partnership handles bookkeeping and accounts production for part of the portfolio. And the leadership has serious professional depth. The role This is a hands-on practice role. Bookkeeping and VAT sit at the heart of it - not as a stepping stone to something else, but as the foundation everything else is built on. In practice, that means three things: bookkeeping you do yourself for clients where complexity calls for it; bookkeeping done with AI tools that you review, correct, and stand behind; and bookkeeping done by the offshore team that you supervise, quality-check, and own the outcome of. The standard is the same whichever route it takes. Beyond bookkeeping, the role covers: VAT compliance under MTD: standard scheme, flat rate, partial exemption, and OSS where applicable Year-end accounts to review-ready standard (FRS 102 1A and FRS 105) Corporation tax computations and CT600 returns Straightforward personal self-assessment returns (SA100) for directors and individuals Account management for your own client portfolio - meetings, deadlines, correspondence, and upsell referrals Supervision and quality control of offshore bookkeeping delivery Who this will suit You have trained in accountancy practice and are still doing the work. You do not see bookkeeping as something you have moved past, you see it as the thing that makes everything else possible. Specifically: Confident working knowledge of UK VAT, FRS 102/105, and corporation tax built in practice, not industry MAAT qualified, or part-ACCA/ACA with active study underway Still delivering bookkeeping directly, through AI tools, or by supervising an offshore team Able to prepare review-ready limited company accounts and CT returns independently Client-facing by nature comfortable on camera, professional, and able to lead a meeting without backup Experienced at supervising others and managing rework constructively Fluent in cloud accounting: Xero, FreeAgent, or QuickBooks What s on offer £30,000 to £38,000 FTE, dependent on experience and qualifications Fully funded BUPA healthcare insurance Health Assured Employee Assistance Programme Profit-sharing bonus scheme 30 to 33 days' holiday inclusive of bank holidays (pro-rata, based on working pattern effective 1 July 2026) Study support for ongoing ACCA/ACA qualifications Hybrid and flexible working post probation Workplace pension Cycle to work scheme Beautiful office with great transport links A clear progression pathway into a fully autonomous account management role How to apply Get in touch with Lydia at ProTalent.
