Legal Director- Litigation & Credit Enforcement Insolvency Litigation Enforcement Strategy Direct Commercial Ownership in a Lending Business East Midlands 150,000 - 200,000 DOE + Bonus + Benefits including LTIP Commutable from Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Warwickshire, North Oxfordshire, South East Birmingham, Solihull, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, North Hertfordshire (with flexibility for the right individual) The Context An established and growing specialist finance business is seeking to appoint a senior legal professional to take ownership of litigation, recoveries and enforcement across a live lending portfolio. The organisation operates in a fast-moving, commercially driven environment where legal decisions directly influence financial outcomes. It is not a business where legal operates at a distance. Instead, it sits at the centre of decision-making, working alongside credit and finance to manage risk, protect asset value and resolve complex lending situations. This appointment represents a key addition to the senior leadership structure, reporting directly to the Chief Operating Officer. The role has been deliberately defined with clarity of focus: to lead litigation, enforcement and recoveries with accountability for outcomes, not simply advice. This opportunity arises at a point where the legal function is central to the next phase of growth, with a clear requirement for stronger ownership of litigation outcomes and recoveries performance. The Role This is a role for a lawyer who is comfortable operating where legal judgement and commercial reality intersect. You will take full ownership of insolvency litigation and dispute resolution across the portfolio, shaping and executing enforcement strategies in relation to borrower defaults, distressed exposures and recovery scenarios. External counsel will be engaged where appropriate, however responsibility for direction, pace and outcome will remain with you. This includes direct involvement in formal insolvency situations, working alongside administrators, receivers and insolvency practitioners to protect position and maximise recovery outcomes. Alongside litigation, you will provide leadership and direction to recoveries and enforcement activity, ensuring that performance is actively managed and continuously improved. You will be expected to bring structure, discipline and commercial clarity to the way enforcement is approached, with a focus on achieving the best possible outcomes in the most efficient manner. This will include managing complex cases where matters progress beyond initial recovery actions into formal insolvency, requiring careful legal and commercial judgement to optimise outcomes. The role requires close engagement with internal stakeholders, particularly credit and finance, contributing directly to decision-making in time-sensitive and often complex situations. You will be expected to form clear views, provide decisive input and take responsibility for the consequences of those decisions. This is not a purely advisory position. It is a role defined by ownership, accountability and delivery. The Individual You are likely to be a Partner, Legal Director or senior disputes lawyer within a regional or national law firm, with a strong grounding in insolvency litigation, restructuring or banking disputes. Alternatively, you may already be operating in-house within a lending, credit or recoveries environment as Head of Legal, Legal Director or Senior Legal Counsel and are seeking a broader and more influential role. Experience of handling formal insolvency processes, including working with administrators, receivers or insolvency practitioners, will be a distinct advantage and of particular interest. You will have developed a reputation for sound judgement, the ability to navigate complex situations and a willingness to take responsibility for outcomes. You are commercially aware, pragmatic in your approach and comfortable operating without the safety net of purely advisory work. You are motivated not only by technical excellence, but by the opportunity to apply that expertise in a way that has direct and visible impact. This role will appeal to individuals who want to move closer to the commercial reality of the situations they are advising on, and who are prepared to take ownership of both decisions and results. The Environment The business is entrepreneurial, fast-paced and outcome-focused. Decisions are made quickly and accountability is clear. There is an expectation that senior individuals will engage directly, contribute meaningfully and operate with a high degree of autonomy. For those coming from private practice, the role offers a shift away from billing targets and time recording, without sacrificing complexity or responsibility. For those already in-house, it offers broader scope, greater ownership and closer proximity to strategic decision-making. The Opportunity This is an opportunity to step into a role where legal expertise is not peripheral but central to the success of the business. You will be responsible for shaping litigation strategy, influencing recoveries performance and contributing directly to commercial outcomes. This role is designed for individuals who wish to move beyond advisory work into a position of direct commercial influence and accountability for outcomes. Over time, there is scope for the role to evolve into a broader legal leadership position for an individual who demonstrates both capability and ambition. The remuneration package reflects the seniority and impact of the role, with a base salary in the range of 150,000 to 200,000, together with bonus and long-term incentive arrangements. Applications Applications and enquiries are invited on a strictly confidential basis. Ref: (phone number removed)

National Savings and Investment, Chief Executive Officer National Savings and Investments (NS&I) is both a government department and an Executive Agency of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and its origins can be traced back more than 164 years to 1861. When customers invest in NS&I products, they are lending to the Government. In return the Government offers 100% security on all deposits and pays interest or prizes for Premium Bonds. This means that NS&I is backed by HM Treasury, keeping its 24 million customers' savings safe. This is the opportunity to lead an organisation trusted by millions of savers and offers the rare chance to deliver tangible national impact while driving innovation, digital transformation and outstanding customer outcomes. The role sits at the intersection of public service and commercial discipline, providing the challenge of stewarding a highly trusted brand, modernising complex operations, and shaping the future of secure savings for customers across the UK. The Role The Chief Executive is also the Director of Savings, and Principal Accounting Officer to NS&I. As such they are fully accountable and responsible to Treasury Ministers and to Parliament for all aspects of the NS&I business. This will be an autonomous CEO role reporting, to both the NS&I Board and HM Treasury, with end-to-end accountability for transformation and performance of the organisation. Whilst NS&I is successfully meeting its targets for savings and funding for the Government, and service levels to most customers, it is undergoing a major transformation programme and has experienced significant operational failings recently. Both these issues are operationally complex and must be resolved alongside continuing operations to build confidence and credibility with its stakeholders and customers alike. It is therefore crucial that a highly capable, credible CEO is appointed to lead the organisation through these challenges and re-establish NS&Is reputation and standing as trusted, efficient and effective national institution. The successful candidate will: Lead the creation and implementation of NS&I's business strategy to deliver cost-effective financing to HM Treasury. Balance the interests of customers, the taxpayer, wider government objectives, and the broader financial services sector in the context of NS&I's activities. Provide direction and leadership to the executive team, setting clear short- and long-term objectives and maximising the skills within the team. Effectively manage and incentivise NS&I's operational partners at a senior level to deliver the agreed business plans efficiently and in line with NS&I's values. The successful candidate will bring: Experience of operating at Senior Executive or equivalent, with a strong track record of strategic leadership and operational delivery experience. Experience of delivering a major change/transformation programme within consumer facing industries, at scale, with a track record of managing elevated risk profiles and leading commercial negotiations at a senior level. A track record of promoting a positive personal and organisational profile in external communications. This should include experience of managing consumer-facing operations, including resolving operational issues, reputation management and recovery. Ability to manage financial budgets and clear demonstration of effective resource management Experience within the consumer financial services environment or similar including within retail savings institutions, regulators, trade associations, and other relevant stakeholders would also be desirable.

Customer Growth Director London Customer Success Reports to Chief Customer Officer Hybrid Working The Problem We're Solving A fast-growing data & CRM platform business helps companies unlock the value in their first-party data. Our Customer Growth System (CGS) turns messy data into actionable intelligence, driving revenue growth and real competitive edge across Financial Services, Insurance, Healthcare, Retail, and beyond. It's proven and scaling in our first vertical. Now we're pushing into new sectors with serious upside. Delivering the tech is easy. Changing client behaviour is hard. That's this job. The title says it all: drive growth in customer value, and ours follows. What You'll Build You'll own the client relationship, adoption, and commercial growth of CGS across our new-vertical client base, inside Customer Success. Not traditional Customer Success. Not a standard Business Director role either. It's growth, adoption and value-realisation: getting clients thinking and operating differently, with measurable results to show for it. You're the senior, consistent face of the business, close to clients and credible in the room. Not maintenance. Changing how clients understand and create growth. Day to day, you'll: - Own senior, multi-stakeholder relationships. Be the first call for a client's growth and marketing leadership - Challenge assumptions and reshape how clients think about growth and customer value - Run the room: chair conversations, flag strategic implications, course-correct early - Drive adoption and behaviour change, not just delivery - Turn insight into action: activation, decisions, measurable outcomes - Bridge the recommendation engine, client CRM teams, and leadership - Own net revenue retention: expansion through value, with an early eye on churn - Keep a steady cadence of value reviews, roadmaps and QBRs How You'll Operate You'll own the framework behind turning a deployed system into growing customer value: - Relationship ownership. Credible from C-suite to working level - Changed thinking. Challenge assumptions, reshape how growth is measured - Adoption and change. Drive usage and behaviour, not just delivery - Activation. Turn insight into operational decisions and real growth - CRM fluency. Enough to direct deployment, not implement it - Commercial growth. Own NRR, expansion through value, early churn warning - Operating cadence. Planned reviews, not reactive firefighting - Voice of the customer. Feed adoption patterns back into product This is about changed thinking: clients who operate differently, see the value, and buy more because of it. The Value Realisation Loop Every new-sector deployment teaches us something: which value levers land, how the system flexes, what separates renewal from drift. You'll feed that back, separating the repeatable playbook from one-off specifics. This is the strategic edge of the role, and as the team grows, a real path into broader Customer Success leadership. What You Bring Experience: - Strong CRM/growth understanding helpful. You simplify the levers for clients rather than implementing them - Led adoption, behaviour change, and operational transformation. You've changed how a client operates, not just delivered to them - A strategic Business Director who uses insight to shape thinking and deliver structured value - Growth, transformation or consultancy background as much as CRM/martech. Ad-platform or media experience alone won't cut it - Owned senior relationships at sponsor/C-suite level. You're the first call - Grown accounts through demonstrated value, not goodwill - Comfortable with AI-assisted decision tools and AI-enabled workflows How you work: - You create changed thinking, challenging senior stakeholders on how growth is measured - Hands-on and present, not an occasional-escalation manager - You control the room without friction - Genuine drive. You chase outcomes rather than waiting to be tasked - You think in outcomes and usage, not deliverables - NRR, expansion, and churn risk are real to you Bonus: - Regulated or considered purchase sector experience: financial services, insurance, pharmacy - NRR-led customer success in a platform/SaaS business - Experience taking a product into new sectors - Comfortable alongside delivery, with a clean line between adoption and implementation Why This Role Matters This role directly moves net revenue retention, client retention, and adoption, and our ability to scale beyond our first vertical. You'll work closely with the Senior Leadership Team, including Technology and Strategy. A senior leadership hire in a high-growth business, with a genuine path to broader Customer Success leadership.
