Account Manager- B2B Software Hybrid after probationary period (3 days office/2 days WFH) Want to join a software company where customers genuinely matter?

For the right person, this is an opportunity to join a small, ambitious SaaS business at an exciting stage of growth, where your contribution will be visible, valued and capable of shaping the future of both the customer base and your own career. What makes this role different? The company's culture is built around genuinely looking after customers. They are seeking someone who enjoys becoming an expert in a product, understands how technology can solve business challenges, and can build strong, lasting relationships based on trust rather than hard selling. The commercial side of the role is important, but success comes from helping customers realise more value. When customers can clearly see the benefits of the platform, conversations about additional modules, services and upgrades happen naturally and consultatively. If you take pride in helping customers succeed and enjoy spotting opportunities that genuinely benefit them, you'll fit right in. The Account Manager B2B Software role You'll take ownership of a portfolio of existing customers, becoming their primary point of contact and trusted adviser. You'll work closely with clients to understand their goals, maximise adoption of the platform and ensure they continue to see measurable value from their investment. Your responsibilities will include: - Managing and developing relationships with existing customers. - Conducting regular account reviews focused on usage, value and future opportunities. - Identifying opportunities for customers to benefit from additional services, functionality or platform enhancements. - Protecting and growing recurring revenue through excellent customer engagement and retention activities. - Working collaboratively with Product, Engineering and Commercial teams, ensuring customer feedback influences future development. - Supporting renewals, business reviews and customer meetings both remotely and face-to-face. Requirements for the Account Manager- B2B software: B2B Software or SaaS Account Management/Customer Success for at least 2-3 years with a minimum of 2 years in a single role to demonstrate the ability to acheive year on year ARR targets and KPIs.

The best people in this business succeed because customers trust them Why join? - Join a growing software company with significant ambitions - Be part of a close-knit team where your impact is visible - Genuine career progression as the company continues to expand - Hybrid working environment - Private medical cover. - Enhanced holiday entitlement including your birthday off - Excellent company culture focused on collaboration, customer success and continuous improvement Interested?

Lead Integrations Engineer £100,000 Manchester (Hybrid) Azure We're hiring the person who owns integrations for a major consumer brand. Not a hands-off manager, not an architect who used to code. A builder who's grown into leading a team without putting the tools down. Here's the honest version of what this role actually is: we're retiring a MuleSoft Anypoint estate and moving everything onto Azure (APIM, Logic Apps, Function Apps, Service Bus, Event Grid). You'll lead that migration end to end, line-manage 3-4 integration engineers, and still spend roughly half your week writing code yourself. If your last hands-on Azure build was a while back, this isn't the one. If you still enjoy a tricky Function App on a Friday afternoon, keep reading. We think the person who fits this best has probably sat in a role where they've seen a lot of different client estates try to make this exact call: stay on MuleSoft or move to Azure, and if the latter, how to do it without breaking anything. If you've been the person other engineers turn to when that decision has to be made properly, not just signed off, you'll recognise this role immediately. What you'll actually own: - The integrations architecture for a SaaS estate spanning Workday, Oracle Symphony, NetSuite, ecommerce, and more - The MuleSoft-to-Azure migration, safely, on a real timeline, without breaking the business mid-flight - A team of engineers you'll manage properly: one-to-ones, growth, the lot - The hardest, highest-risk builds, personally, in code What you'll need: - 6+ years in integration/API engineering, with Azure code you've written in the last 12 months - Proven experience leading a team across both MuleSoft and Azure, not just working alongside one platform - Real migration experience, not migration theory - The ability to write a clean pull request and a clear architecture decision record in the same week £100,000 base plus 10% bonus, private medical, pension, and a well-known brand perk or two. Manchester city centre, three days a week in office. No sponsorship available for this one. If you've led a client or an estate through exactly this MuleSoft-to-Azure decision before, we'd love to hear from you.

You won't be joining a traditional environment where change is slowed down by layers of approval. You'll work closely with decision-makers, take ideas from initial problem through to implementation, and see the direct impact of the solutions you help create. What You'll Be Doing - Take ownership of business problems and help turn them into practical, deliverable solutions. - Work closely with operational teams, senior stakeholders, Project Managers and Developers. - Run focused workshops to understand challenges, define requirements and agree priorities. - Break complex requirements into clear user stories and manageable pieces of work. - Help squads define minimum viable solutions that can be delivered quickly and improved over time. - Support projects throughout the full delivery lifecycle rather than handing requirements over and stepping away. - Create test plans, complete QA activity and guide business users confidently through UAT. - Support the implementation and adoption of new processes and platform functionality. - Produce clear user guides, training materials and straightforward explanations of proposed changes. - Identify risks, dependencies and opportunities while keeping stakeholders informed of progress. - Challenge established ways of working and bring forward ideas for improvement, automation and innovation. What We're Looking For - Experience in a Business Analyst position. - Experience working in a fast-moving, changing or growing organisation. - A proactive mindset and the confidence to take responsibility for delivering outcomes. - Strong requirements-gathering, workshop facilitation and stakeholder-management skills. - Practical experience supporting testing, QA and business UAT. - An understanding of the software development lifecycle and how Business Analysts contribute throughout it. - The ability to work effectively with both technical and non-technical colleagues. - Confidence managing several priorities without relying on rigid processes. - A collaborative style combined with the willingness to challenge ideas constructively. - The motivation to continue developing and progress as the delivery function grows. - Experience within an SME or scale-up environment (desirable) Why Join? Make a visible impact You'll work in a business where individual contributions are noticed. The organisation is large enough to invest in meaningful technology and transformation, but small enough for you to build relationships across the company and influence important decisions. Develop beyond a traditional BA remit You'll gain exposure across requirements, delivery, testing, implementation, user adoption and continuous improvement. This is an opportunity to develop into a rounded Business Analyst rather than being restricted to producing documentation. Work at pace Decisions can be made quickly, priorities move and teams are encouraged to find practical solutions. The environment will suit someone energised by momentum rather than frustrated by change. Help shape a growing function The Business Solutions team is expanding significantly. As the squad model develops, there will be opportunities to influence delivery practices, take on greater responsibility and progress alongside the function. Gain exposure to modern technology You'll contribute to work involving AI, automation, digital platforms and third-party technology providers. The focus is not on implementing technology for its own sake, but on finding smarter ways to solve genuine business problems. Package: - 45,000 - 55,000 base salary - Discretionary Bonus - Regular Salary reviews - Hybrid working, with three days per week in the Manchester office. - 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays. - Modern office environment with free barista coffee.
