AP Manager (12-Month FTC) | Fast-Growth Online Retail Brand | Manchester \n \n The Client \n Harmonic are delighted to be partnering with a fast-growing UK activewear brand, based in Manchester and operating at over £80m+ turnover. The business has more than doubled its revenue over the past two years, driven by a direct-to-consumer model alongside a selective wholesale presence. It recently took on investment from a PE firm to fund international expansion. \n Finance has stayed lean while the rest of the business has scaled quickly, and Accounts Payable is a close-knit team of four who have worked together through a period of rapid growth. This role has been created to bring the function up to the standard the business now needs, and to give that team a leader who can guide them through the change with genuine care. The business runs on NetSuite, and hands-on NetSuite experience is a firm requirement for this role. \n \n The Role \n The Accounts Payable function currently sits within a lean team, with roughly 1,000 invoices processed each month across factory, services, and card spend. This is a senior interim position on a 12-month fixed-term contract, created to lead the end-to-end transformation of the Accounts Payable. The AP team will report directly into this role for the duration of the contract, and you will act as line manager for a team of four, providing hands-on leadership through a period of genuine change. \n What makes this role distinct is the dual mandate. Alongside keeping BAU running (invoice processing, payment runs, vendor management, and reconciliations), you will own the transformation agenda in full: redesigning processes from purchase order through to payment, documenting SOPs, embedding AI tools into day-to-day workflows, and leaving behind a robust succession plan for the permanent team. \n \n Responsibilities \n\n • Define and drive the AP transformation roadmap, redesigning processes end-to-end to improve efficiency, accuracy, and control\n, • Identify and implement automation and digital solutions, including AI tools such as invoice capture and anomaly detection, embedding these sustainably into the team's ways of working\n, • Act as line manager for the AP team for the duration of the contract, providing hands-on leadership and support through a period of change\n, • Design and document comprehensive SOPs for all key AP processes, establishing robust controls and governance frameworks\n, • Lead the implementation of approved process changes, managing stakeholder communication and delivering training across the team\n, • Oversee BAU AP operations throughout, including invoice processing, payment runs, vendor management, and month-end reconciliations\n, • Develop and hand over a detailed succession plan to ensure transformation gains are sustained after the contract ends\n, • Benchmark AP performance against best practice for businesses of comparable scale and set measurable improvement targets\n\n \n What our client needs to see (essential): \n\n • Hands-on experience with NetSuite, specifically the AP modules, workflows, and reporting - this is essential for the role\n, • Experience working within a business with £80m+ annual turnover\n, • A demonstrable track record of leading AP transformation, including process redesign, SOP documentation, and change implementation\n, • Experience identifying and embedding AI tools within a finance or AP function, with the ability to assess use cases pragmatically and build genuine team adoption\n, • Strong people management and change leadership skills, with the empathy to bring a team through a period of uncertainty\n, • Strong working knowledge of AP best practice, controls, and compliance requirements\n\n \n What we'd like to see (non-essential): \n\n • Previous experience in an interim or fixed-term transformation role\n, • Experience in an online retail or e-commerce environment\n\n \n Package \n\n • Salary: £60,000 - £65,000 (pro rata for the contract term)\n, • Location: Manchester (Office-Based - 3 days a week)\n, • Start Date: ASAP\n\n At Harmonic, we are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace. We actively welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds and assure you that every candidate will be thoughtfully considered for the roles we represent, without regard to race, religion, gender expression, disability, or sexual orientation.

Fire Engineer – Manchester (Hybrid) | Fire Strategy & Fire Safety Engineering Careers Location: Manchester (Hybrid — 2–3 days in office) Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience + benefits package Hours: Full-time, flexible working Around half a decade ago, this fire engineering consultancy was a handful of engineers with a shared frustration: too many fire safety careers are built on rigid hierarchies, endless overtime, and compliance-box-ticking rather than genuine engineering judgement. So they decided to build something different. Today that team has grown nearly fourfold, split across two fast-scaling offices, with plans to open in further UK cities and launch further divisions in the coming months. Working out of Manchester allows exposure to a genuinely varied stock of high-profile, complex projects. With growth still very much underway, it's the kind of environment where a capable engineer can carve out a specialism and take on real responsibility early, rather than waiting years for a seat to open up. The role You'll join a technically strong team delivering fire strategies across residential, commercial, heritage, healthcare and sports-ground projects. Working through the full lifecycle from concept design and code-compliance strategies through to performance-based solutions, site inspections, and computational modelling. You'll be mentored day-to-day by Chartered Fire Engineers, with genuine investment in getting you to chartership, not just a box on a training matrix. What you'll actually be doing: Developing fire strategies using both prescriptive and performance-based approaches across a genuinely varied sector mix Producing clear technical reports: assumptions, basis of design, methodology, recommendations Getting out on site for inspections, not just sat behind a desk Managing your own projects, deadlines and budgets as your confidence grows Working towards Chartered Engineer (CEng) status with structured CPD support Supporting junior and graduate engineers as you progress — this is a team that mentors up and down, not just top-down Staying close to industry developments and contributing to internal knowledge-sharing, and in time, external publications and conference contributions What we're looking for A BSc, BEng or higher in fire engineering or a closely related engineering discipline 2-4 years' fire engineering experience Strong numerical and problem-solving ability, and a genuine interest in performance-based design rather than just prescriptive compliance Comfortable working across a multidisciplinary project team AIFireE (Associate, Institution of Fire Engineers) desirable but not essential What you'll get Hybrid working — typically 2–3 days in the office, with genuine flexibility around how that works for you A real training budget — a dedicated annual training allowance per person, plus a personal growth plan agreed directly with your line manager, not a generic CPD checklist One of the best holiday/ working splits in the industry, scaling with your experience Company bonus scheme, enhanced pension, life assurance, and an Employee Assistance Programme Enhanced maternity and paternity leave Professional membership subscriptions paid for you An operations team behind the scenes handling the admin, travel and training logistics, so you can focus on the engineering Regular company social events and a genuinely tight-knit, growing team culture Why now Joining a business at this stage of its growth is rare — you get the technical rigour and mentorship of an established practice with the pace, autonomy and career runway of a business that's still being built. If you want to shape a fire engineering career on your own terms rather than fit into someone else's mould, this is a great time to get onboard.
