Resource Manager – Technology Professional Services / SaaS / Data & AI

Contract | Outside IR35 | £375-425 per day | 6 months initial | London hybrid

A contract Resource Manager role supporting a fast-moving global Tech company.

This is not an administrative scheduling role. You’ll operate as a business partner to regional leadership, understanding upcoming demand, available skills and project pipelines to make sure the right people are deployed effectively.

With a relatively small internal resource pool and demand regularly exceeding supply, you’ll need to be proactive, commercially aware and comfortable making decisions.

Key responsibilities:

• Own resource planning across Benelux and Nordics
• Match skills and availability against project demand
• Work closely with sales and pre sales around pipeline and upcoming requirements
• Build strong relationships with approximately internal consultants
• Manage resource clashes, utilisation and capacity constraints
• Engage external delivery partners when additional capability is required
• Provide visibility around demand, supply and forecasting

You will need to have experience within resource management at ideally a technology / Saas Professional Services or consultancy.

£375-425 per day, Outside IR35, initial six month contract with potential extension.

London hybrid, typically 2 days onsite, with less presence on site required as you become embedded. ASAP start.

Software Tech Lead / Staff Engineer

Wiltshire | Hybrid, around 3 days onsite
Up to £120,000 + Benefits
UK Security Clearance required or must be eligible

Are you a senior software engineer who can lead technically, mentor other engineers and explain the wider business impact of the technology you build?

This is a senior technical leadership role working on a major, multi year UK Defence programme, taking ownership of complex software, integration and data challenges.

You’ll remain hands on while acting as a technical point of reference for the wider team, shaping architecture, leading design decisions and mentoring engineers.

The environment includes Java, SQL/PostgreSQL and Angular, with significant work across APIs, integrations, data platforms and event driven systems.

The role will include:

• Leading technical design and architecture across complex software solutions
• Building backend services, APIs and integrations with external systems
• Remaining hands on across Java, SQL and full stack development
• Leading technical discussions and influencing engineering decisions
• Mentoring Senior Engineers and helping develop future technical leaders
• Improving engineering standards across testing, CI/CD, observability and code quality
• Working directly with technical and non technical customer stakeholders
• Connecting engineering decisions to measurable programme and business outcomes

You’ll need to have operated at Senior, Lead or Staff Engineer level, with strong backend engineering experience and the ability to work across the wider stack.

Just as importantly, you need strong business acumen. You should be able to explain where your technical decisions have made a tangible difference, whether that is improving performance, reducing costs, accelerating delivery, increasing reliability or solving an important customer problem.

You should also be able to demonstrate where you have mentored other engineers, raised technical standards and operated as a senior role model beyond simply delivering your own code.

Existing SC clearance would be advantageous, although candidates who meet the eligibility requirements can undergo the clearance process.

If you want Staff level technical ownership while staying hands on and seeing the real impact of what you build, this offers exactly that.

Engineering Manager

Wiltshire| Hybrid, initially 3 to 4 days onsite, moving to around 3 days longer term
Up to £130,000 + Bonus + Benefits
UK Security Clearance required or must be eligible

Are you an Engineering Manager who still considers yourself an engineer, enjoys building strong teams and wants to shape how software is delivered?

This is an opportunity to build and lead a new engineering team supporting a major, multi year UK Defence programme.

There is no established team to inherit. You will help recruit the engineers, set the ways of working and take ownership of technical health, team health and software delivery.

This is not a purely people management role. You will remain technically involved, providing input into architecture and design, reviewing code and contributing directly when needed.

The role will include:

• Building and managing a Software and DevOps engineering team
• Hiring, onboarding, coaching and developing engineers
• Establishing development standards and ways of working
• Providing technical leadership across architecture and software design
• Reviewing code and remaining technically hands on when required
• Owning engineering delivery against programme commitments
• Working directly with Defence customers
• Promoting modern software engineering practices across the organisation

The core technology stack includes Java, PostgreSQL and Angular, although broader software and DevOps experience is valuable.

You will need formal people management experience combined with a strong software engineering background. Ideally, you will have managed 4 to 6+ engineers and previously operated at Senior or Staff Engineer level before moving into management.

Existing SC clearance would be beneficial, although sponsorship can be provided. Dual nationals can be considered, with candidates normally requiring at least five years' UK residency.

There may also be occasional international travel to meet engineering teams and support customer exercises.

If you want to build a team, stay close to the technology and deliver software with genuine operational purpose, this gives you the opportunity to do all three.

Technical Business Analyst – Dynamics 365 ERP

Contract | Outside IR35 | Initial 3 months | South West London | 2–3 days onsite
£500–500 per day

A retail business is replacing its legacy ERP with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management.

This is a retail brand and the implementation will be focused on keeping D365 as close to standard as possible. The business will adapt its processes to fit Dynamics 365 rather than heavily customising the platform.

Key responsibilities:

• Understand and map existing legacy ERP business processes
• Map current processes against standard D365 Finance & SCM functionality
• Identify where business processes need to change to fit D365
• Run workshops with users and document requirements and process changes
• Carry out fit-gap analysis and challenge unnecessary customisation
• Work closely with the D365 implementation partner
• Support data migration, testing and UAT

You’ll need previous Business Analyst experience on Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations / Finance & SCM implementations, with a strong understanding of standard D365 processes.

This is a hands-on role in a small team, suited to someone who can work directly with users and help move the business from legacy ways of working into standard Dynamics 365.

Data Analyst – Dynamics 365 ERP Migration, 
Contract | Outside IR35 | Initial 3 months | South West London | 2–3 days onsite
£400-500 per day 

A retail business is undertaking an ERP transformation, moving away from a legacy, unsupported AS400-based system and implementing Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & SCM

The immediate requirement is for an experienced Data Analyst to take ownership of the data migration workstream, understanding and extracting data from the existing AS400 environment and preparing it for migration into Dynamics 365 ERP.

You’ll be working with legacy datasets that will require investigation, cleansing and transformation rather than simply moving data from one platform to another.

Key responsibilities:

• Analyse and understand data held within the existing AS400 ERP environment
• Extract, cleanse, map and transform legacy data ready for Dynamics 365
• Use SQL and ETL techniques to manipulate and prepare large datasets
• Identify data quality issues, inconsistencies and gaps ahead of migration
• Work with business and technical stakeholders to define mapping and transformation requirements
• Support migration testing, reconciliation and validation to ensure data is complete and accurate
• Help establish repeatable migration processes ahead of the D365 implementation

You’ll need strong SQL and ETL/data transformation experience, ideally gained on ERP or large-scale systems migration programmes. Experience working with AS400/IBM i data would be particularly useful, alongside previous exposure to Dynamics 365 ERP migrations.

This is a hands-on migration role suited to someone comfortable getting into complex legacy data, understanding what it means and turning it into clean, structured data ready for a modern ERP platform.
