Are you a military procurement, logistics, or capability specialist looking for the perfect civilian landing zone? This is not a high-pressure, cold-calling sales role. This is a leading defense technology manufacturer looking for a Defence Account Manager to act as the strategic interface between engineering teams, the MoD, and Tier 1 prime contractors. If you understand how the MoD procures, introduces, and supports land-based equipment, this role allows you to use that "insider" knowledge to manage key relationships and shape future land defense capabilities. This is a hybrid role with 2/3 days per week from the office near Middlesbrough and will also involve regular travel. Salary up to £50k basic plus bonus and excellent company benefits. What you'll be doing: Act as the trusted link between our technical teams and defense stakeholders (DE&S, Army HQ, and major defense primes) Identify upcoming land capability requirements and align our specialized safety and sensor technologies with future armored vehicle and land defense platforms. Use your understanding of MoD contract models and procurement lifecycles to seamlessly manage existing accounts and secure framework placements. Deliver high-level briefings on equipment readiness, technical compliance, and solution delivery to senior military and commercial figures. What you need: A strong understanding of defense procurement frameworks, contract models, or land equipment lifecycles (ideally involving armored vehicles or tactical land systems). Experience operating within DE&S, military logistics, capability development, or an established defense sector account management role. Authoritative stakeholder management skills. You must be equally comfortable talking specs with design engineers and discussing capability with high-level defense officials. A methodical, process-driven approach to problem-solving, with a natural flair for diplomacy and relationship building. This is the deal job for ex-military personnel (e.g., DE&S, REME, RLC, Royal Engineers) or civilian defense procurement specialists. Sound interesting? Then apply today!

DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND RESOURCES Are you a strategic finance leader with a heart for mission? Do you want your professional expertise to count for something more than the bottom line? We are delighted to be partnering with Church Mission Society (CMS), who are supporting close to 200 people in mission across dozens of countries. CMS exists to make disciples of Jesus at the edges: the edges of church, the edges of society and the edges of our own comfort zones. They are now seeking an exceptional Director of Finance and Resources to help ensure that extraordinary mission work is sustainable for generations to come. As a member of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), you will provide strategic leadership across CMS's financial sustainability, organisational infrastructure and central resources. This is a genuinely broad and influential role, covering financial strategy and management, investments, treasury, risk, legal and regulatory compliance, property and facilities, IT and cyber security, and relevant corporate governance. You will also maintain oversight of CMS's residual pension-related responsibilities following the transfer of its defined-benefit pension liabilities. You will be a trusted adviser to the CEO, board of trustees and the wider SLT, providing the financial clarity, challenge and confidence that enables CMS to make wise, sustainable decisions in service of its mission. You will lead four direct reports (Head of Finance, Head of ICT, Facilities Manager and Head of Legal) and serve as a director of a number of CMS subsidiary entities. You will be a qualified accountant with significant senior finance leadership experience, ideally gained within a charity, not-for-profit or values-led organisation. You will bring proven ability to contribute at executive and board level, with strong experience across financial planning, audit, internal controls, management reporting and team leadership. But this role asks for more than technical expertise. CMS is looking for someone with the wisdom to balance prudent stewardship with an appropriate appetite for risk, the courage to hold a firm line when necessary, and the humility to lead in a way that enables others to flourish. You will be collaborative, relational and service-oriented, someone who genuinely believes that finance exists to serve mission, not the other way around. A committed and practising Christian, you will be in sympathy with CMS's values, its Ethos Statement, and its pioneering, servant-hearted approach to God's work in the world. If you would like an informal conversation, please contact Adam Stacey, CEO at Charisma Charity Recruitment, either by email at or on . Applications should please be submitted through the Charisma website, to include your CV and supporting statement. Please see candidate pack for full details. We particularly welcome applications from individuals from minority groups as they are currently underrepresented within our organisation at this level. All appointments are made on merit of skill, experience and potential as set out in the job description and person specification. All applicants must be wholeheartedly committed to the aims, ethos, and values of Church Mission Society. This post is subject to an Occupational Requirement that the post holder is a practising Christian, under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010. Closing date: 5 July 2026 First stage interviews with CMS: 14 July (online) Second stage interviews with CMS: 29 July (in person)
