OK, some have said I’m guilty of waffling in my adverts (thanks Mum) so for those that have requested I be more concise here’s my best try at writing this in the style of an advert you’d find in the classifieds.

You want to the point, you got it.

WANTED

Change Specialists with a particular fondness for working on tech enabled business transformation programmes.

A leading implementation partner for a range of Microsoft products is looking for a Senior Change Manager to join them on a permanent basis.

Home based role with travel to client sites when required.

Experience of working as a change manager on ERP implementations a must.

£60-70,000 per annum based on experience + bonus and benefits (inc. private healthcare)

The End. That’s it.

See you really have to be careful what you wish for.

I’ve not said anything about the bloody amazing team you’ll be working with (most of which I’ve placed), the all star Practice Director you’ll be reporting into or the opportunity to genuinely help create a truly transformative internal change capability.

But whatever. If this works for you that’s fine.

You’re going to apply right?

 
Please note that Global Tech Collective is committed to providing the best candidate experience and that every applicant will receive a response.

A while back, I got a message from the first person I ever placed in a permanent role over 10 years ago.

I’m paraphrasing, somewhat drastically, but it essentially read “I’ve got a role to fill. Help me.”

Fast forward and I’m sat here writing about an amazing opportunity for a Human Resources System Management Lead to join a global client and get the opportunity to work with someone who I know from experience is bloody incredible at what they do and a lovely human being to boot.

The business I’m working with is a HUGE brand, recognised internationally for all the right reasons. This particular role sits within their UK shared service centre and whilst yours won’t be a global remit, with tens of thousands of employees in the UK, it might just feel like it.

They’re in need of an experienced HRMS specialist to join them and take on leadership of a small HR Systems Team. The role will see you afforded lots of autonomy to use your experience to make sure that the development and deployment of my clients HR Systems strategy runs as seamlessly as possible.

Yes, you’ll know all about HR systems but you’ll need to be just as motivated to provide direction, guidance and development for your people so experience in a lead/ management role is really a must if you’re looking to apply.

The HR System that has been implemented is Oracle and having gone live on the cloud relatively recently there’s plenty of opportunity to ensure that my client are realising a return on their investment whilst working with the latest cloud based technology.

So, what’s on offer?

A lot, actually.

My client operate a hybrid working model that will see you based on their site in Buckinghamshire 2-3 days per week but with a line manager who is very much aware her people have lives outside the office there is additional flexibility to work remotely provided where necessary.

The salary range sits at £70-80,000 DOE with a bonus of 12-15% (which has actually been paid out even through the darkest days of the pandemic), private healthcare, a healthy car allowance and an enhanced pension contribution. My client are also big believers in looking after the mental wellbeing of their people and have a comprehensive support system in place for their employees and families.

Beyond the package on offer there are progression and professional development opportunities galore with investment in leadership training as well as opportunities to move into different areas of the business.

If you don’t have Oracle HR Systems experience but have worked with the likes of SAP in a global business then please don’t be put off applying. That being said, there’s a link for you to do just that in this ad. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Engineering Managers.

Now, there’s a job that I don’t envy you having to take on.

Not only are you charged with managing teams, being accountable for said teams performance, playing a pivotal role in their career development WHILST ensuring you’re collaborating with other teams to ensure everyone is pulling in the right direction BUT, you guys have to work with Software Engineers EVERY…SINGLE…DAY 🤯  (I’m joking obvs)

If you are one of these sadists (also a joke) 👀 then it might be worth us having a chat.  

If you’re an experienced Engineering Manager, or a Software Engineer that I’ve not yet offended that might be interested in moving into an EM role, and have any sort of interest in working for a brand that is playing a fundamental part in the move to a circular economy and one that is committed to building a business that is kinder to the planet then this will be right up your street.

My client have offices globally but for this position you’ll have options to work 100% remote or full time in a London office depending on what suits you. That being said you must be UK based and unfortunately on this occasion my client aren’t available to provide sponsorship. 

The package is incredibly attractive. With a base salary of £90-110,000 based on experience, bonus of 10-15%, one of the most comprehensive lists of benefits I’ve ever seen offered by a tech client AND share options that that would make your hair stand on end (in a good way) this has to be worth exploring.

My clients tech stack includes the following (JavaScript, HTML, CCS, React, Typescript, Kotlin, Scala, Node.JS, Java, Python, AWS, Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, MySQL, PostgreSQL and Dynamodb) but your focus will be on leading, developing and growing your team, collaborating with engineering teams in other areas, supporting the business to innovate their recruitment process in order to attract the best people and to continue creating an environment where you and your people can continuously learn and improve.

There is a HUGE demand for SAP specialist skills at the moment and no where is this more evident than in the wonderful world of consulting.

There’s more flexibility being offered than ever before. More budget, it seems, and most definitely more effort being made by organisations to get your attention.

About bloody time.

The stereotypical view the majority of us once held about the consulting lifestyle has definitely changed and for most companies, or those that want you working with them anyway, expectations to spend weeks away from home, living out of a suitcase and being asked to travel at a moment’s notice are now a thing of the past.

I’m working with an SAP Gold Partner consultancy that even pre pandemic had the right approach to giving their people a positive work life balance. Over the last 2 years it’s got even better with employees given the option to work completely remotely (your contracted place of work is your actual home address) with only the occasional request to visit their offices or go to client sites (all expenses covered).

This organisation are THE go to specialists in their field and they’re looking to speak with an experienced SAP PP specialist about a brand new role in the business.

Everyone I’ve placed with this client to date has shared glowing feedback from the initial interview (the whole process is conducted entirely over MS teams) through to onboarding and beyond. Looking at the content shared by the teams online there’s a real sense of pride coming from the entire workforce. These guys are really working to innovate the SAP space.

Given the flexibility around ways of working you’ll be able to apply regardless of where you’re based in the UK (although you must be UK based) and this could be perfect for someone from a consulting background who is looking for a better work life balance with less travel or for those who have a solid background working in industry but have an appetite to move into consulting, in addition to  some established customer facing and stakeholder engagement skills.

If you’re a SAP PP Specialist and would like to learn more about a business with a client base boasting some of the most exciting international brands and a shiny new opportunity to make a real impact then I’d love to hear from you.

I’m working with a consulting client that are THE go to company for businesses looking for support with their Microsoft Dynamics 365 implementations.

As they continue to grow their dedicated change management practice they’re looking for an ERP Trainer to join their specialist team and I’ve got a feeling that you, yeah you, no not you…you…that’s it, might be that person.

Now look, whilst ideally you’ve helped clients with implementations of Microsoft Dynamics 365 if you’ve supported businesses with implementations of SAP, Oracle or any of the other ERP solutions out there then this could be right up your street.

You’ve obviously got heaps of experience completing TNA’s, buckets of expertise in training development and skip loads of exposure to training delivery (both virtual and face to face) and regardless of whether you’ve done this in a consulting setting or in industry, this could be a great fit.  

This is an expansive role and you’ll have the opportunity to use your experience in the design and delivery of a range of learning solutions to add real value to a multitude of clients across multiple sectors through a blended approach of virtual training and digital learning.

As I mentioned, you’d benefit from having experience of delivering MS Dynamics 365 Training but for this role it’s by no means essential.

You’ll only need to travel when absolutely necessary and when you do, expenses will be covered, even when travelling to the London HQ and the best bit is you’ll be working with a team of specialists, many of which I’ve been fortunate enough to place (I might be biased but they’re all pretty bloody special).

There’s a salary of £35,000-70,000 DOE on offer plus bonus and a long list of benefits.
