Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Manchester £90,000-£110,000 (+ good package) Our client is a purpose-driven B2B SaaS business helping employers build safer, more inclusive environments. Their platform handles sensitive data for organisations where trust, security and genuine outcomes genuinely matter, and they're entering an exciting next stage of growth. The Role This is a hands-on, high-impact CTO role not a large-company, committee-led position. You'll provide credible technical leadership, architectural judgement, product direction and people leadership in a small B2B SaaS environment, helping move the company from a founder-led engineering function into a mature, confident product and technology organisation. This may suit an established CTO looking for more purposeful work, or a Head of Engineering, Technology Director or Principal Architect ready to step into broader leadership. What You'll Do • Own and develop the product and technology strategy, aligned to commercial objectives • Set architectural direction - APIs, integrations, data platform, security, scalability, CI/CD • Lead a small engineering and product team with empathy and high expectations • Define a data strategy that puts insight at the heart of the product proposition • Lead safe, pragmatic AI adoption across product and engineering • Own security, risk and compliance, making ISO27001 a lived discipline, not just an audit • Report to the CEO, sit on the Leadership Team and provide clear Board-level visibility • Support investor, due diligence and senior commercial conversations The Team & Technical Environment You'll lead a small, capable team spanning engineering, product management, QA and UX/design. A strong Product Manager handles much of the day-to-day product work; your job is to set direction and ensure strategy aligns with business goals. The team has responded well to clear, calm leadership and honest escalation of risk - the next leader will combine genuine empathy with decisiveness and higher expectations. On the platform side, the key themes you'll work through include: data and analytics architecture, API and integration strategy, observability, security architecture, CI/CD maturity, scalability and cloud infrastructure. Experience across AWS, modern SaaS architecture and sensitive or regulated data environments is essential. What We're Looking For • Senior technology leadership in a small B2B SaaS or scale-up environment • Strong architectural judgement across cloud-native SaaS, APIs, observability and security • Experience leading engineering and product teams directly • A track record of improving delivery confidence and managing technical debt commercially • The ability to communicate technical trade-offs clearly to non-technical stakeholders • Experience with sensitive data, regulated environments or compliance obligations The right person will be decisive but not arrogant, calm under pressure, commercially curious, and technically credible enough to lead a sceptical engineering team - while being comfortable at Board level. Why Join This role offers real influence, meaningful work and the chance to shape the next stage of a business whose purpose genuinely matters. You'll have genuine authority, a seat at the Leadership Team table, and the opportunity to make decisions that will define the next five years. Our client are an equal opportunities employer committed to inclusive recruitment.

Join Our Team at Smurfit Westrock! Are you searching for a workplace that values you and your growth? At Smurfit Westrock, we're committed to sustainability, employee well-being, and personal development. About Us We are a global leader in sustainable paper and packaging. Our focus is on the health and safety of our employees, the well-being of our communities, and delivering exceptional service to our customers. We support our team members to reach their full potential in an inclusive environment that values diversity. The Role We are recruiting two Business Development Managers to join our National Sales Team, with one role covering the North and one covering the South of the country. Both positions report directly to the relevant Business Development Director and play a critical role in delivering our national growth strategy. As a Business Development Manager, you will be responsible for identifying, developing and securing new business opportunities while strengthening long-term, profitable customer relationships. Operating at a national level, you will focus on strategic account development, new market entry and complex opportunity management, working closely with internal stakeholders to deliver commercially sound solutions. The role requires a strong balance of strategic thinking and hands-on execution. You will manage a robust opportunity pipeline, lead high-quality customer engagements, develop value-led propositions and negotiate sustainable commercial outcomes that protect and grow the business. Successful candidates will demonstrate capabilities including a strong understanding of markets, customers and competitors, combined with the ability to uncover customer pain points and translate these into compelling commercial opportunities. You will build credible, trust-based relationships with customers and internal colleagues, influencing at all levels with clarity and confidence. Strong commercial and financial acumen is essential, enabling you to assess profitability, challenge assumptions and make informed decisions that drive mutual value. You will plan effectively, managing your territory and opportunity pipeline against clear targets, while communicating value convincingly through customer-led storytelling and structured selling approaches. You will also be comfortable leading and supporting negotiations, preparing thoroughly and striving for outcomes that create long-term value rather than short-term wins.

This is a senior leadership role for someone who knows how to make complex change happen in practice - not just shaping ideas, but leading delivery, building trusted relationships, and turning ambition into operational reality. You'll play a central role in leading and growing our systems, place and public service change work. Work directly with clients, partners, senior leaders and delivery teams across complex programmes and live environments, you'll help organisations navigate change, improve delivery, and respond to real operational and system pressures. This is a hands-on role with significant responsibility, influence, and visibility across both delivery and organisational development. We're looking for someone who understands the realities of public service delivery and organisational leadership, but who can also identify opportunities, shape propositions, build partnerships, and help grow sustainable and high-impact work. Our ideal candidate will bring operational credibility, strategic thinking, and commercial awareness. Alongside leading delivery, you'll contribute to business development, client relationships, strategic direction, and the continued evolution of our Homes and Missions model. The role requires someone comfortable operating across strategy, delivery and growth. One day you may be working with a senior leadership team to shape a complex transformation programme, the next supporting delivery teams to work through operational challenges, strengthening client relationships, or helping develop a new opportunity into a deliverable programme of work. You'll need sound judgement, political awareness, credibility with senior stakeholders, and the ability to lead calmly and decisively in complex environments. This is not a purely strategic, advisory, or oversight position. We're looking for a leader who's comfortable close to the work - working directly with teams, supporting delivery in real time, building organisational capability, and helping create the conditions for high-quality change to happen.
