Oversee warehouse standards and logistics performance across all UK sites. Manage third-party marketplace performance, ensuring maximum channel efficiency and brand reach. Own quarterly workforce planning, ensuring resource aligns with demand. Lead senior hiring and support ongoing leadership development.

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.

Full time
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.
