ABOUT KOLLENO Kolleno is a trusted FinOps platform that simplifies receivables, payments & reconciliation for CFOs and finance teams. We redefine the very essence of payments management for businesses, foreseeing traditional finance operations transforming into seamless experiences for everyone involved: CFOs, finance teams and clients. We empower finance teams to tackle their daily tasks effortlessly and businesses to free up resources to focus on higher-priority, growth-driving activities. Founded in 2020, Kolleno raised £4M (USD $5.4M) in seed funding from leading investors, including Eurazeo, Stride.VC, Allianz Trade and Hubspot, and currently services clients across North America, Europe and South Africa. As our activity surges and clientele grows, we're expanding our Customer Success team to nurture enduring client relationships.

ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for an Implementation Manager who thrives at the intersection of customer success, product, and engineering. We are B2B Fintech in Payments, helping enterprises improve their financial operations: Do you enjoy dissecting complex enterprise systems to figure out how they actually work? get a kick out of making clunky ERP setups play nicely with modern platforms? take pride in delivering onboarding experiences that just work? love bringing clarity to chaos in cross-functional environments?

Our enterprise clients rely on us to understand their technical environments, especially ERPs like NetSuite, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics, and to help them integrate Kolleno seamlessly. You will be the technical bridge between our clients and product, ensuring each enterprise onboarding is tailored to how the customer actually works - not how they say they work. Your Role as Project Lead You'll be the owner and driver of multiple large-scale onboarding projects. You'll operate as a hands-on project manager, responsible for coordinating cross-functional teams, unblocking issues, keeping everyone aligned, documenting progress and most importantly, getting customers live as quickly and smoothly as possible.

ABOUT KOLLENO Kolleno is a trusted FinOps platform that simplifies receivables, payments & reconciliation for CFOs and finance teams. We redefine the very essence of payments management for businesses, foreseeing traditional finance operations transforming into seamless experiences for everyone involved: CFOs, finance teams and clients. We empower finance teams to tackle their daily tasks effortlessly and businesses to free up resources to focus on higher-priority, growth-driving activities. Founded in 2020, Kolleno raised £4M (USD $5.4M) in seed funding from leading investors, including Eurazeo, Stride.VC, Allianz Trade and Hubspot, and currently services clients across North America, Europe and South Africa. As our activity surges and clientele grows, we're expanding our Customer Success team to nurture enduring client relationships. At Kolleno, we cultivate builder mindset, curiosity, humility, and teamwork.

ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for an Implementation Manager who thrives at the intersection of customer success, product, and engineering.

Our enterprise clients rely on us to understand their technical environments, especially ERPs like NetSuite, SAP, and Microsoft Dynamics, and to help them integrate Kolleno seamlessly.

Your Role as Project Lead You'll be the owner and driver of multiple large-scale onboarding projects. You'll operate as a hands-on project manager, responsible for coordinating cross-functional teams, unblocking issues, keeping everyone aligned, documenting progress and most importantly, getting customers live as quickly and smoothly as possible.

It exists to inspire more people to read the world's best fiction, driven by a simple belief: that great fiction not only brings joy to millions but has the power to change the way we think about the world. Our aim is to foster a love of reading and to support writers and readers of the future. The Booker Prizes occupy a unique position in the literary sphere, enjoying an enviable reputation as a cultural institution that is highly respected, much loved and hotly debated throughout the world. Over the past 50 years, almost 700 extraordinary books have been brought to the attention of the public, influencing reading tastes and transforming culture in Britain and beyond, along with the careers of hundreds of authors from around the globe. In adding a year-round, far-reaching digital portfolio, the Booker Prizes are now the globally recognised home of great writing. This spring, the Booker Prize Foundation is launching the Children's Booker Prize supported by AKO Foundation.

The Children's Booker Prize, which will be awarded annually from 2027, will celebrate the best contemporary fiction for children aged eight to 12 years old, written in or translated into English and published in the UK and/or Ireland. The aim of the prize is to engage and grow a new generation of readers by recognising and championing the best children's fiction from writers around the world.

AKO Foundation has generously committed to supporting the prize for its first three years. The development of the prize over the last three years has been made possible with thanks to donations from a small group of philanthropic supporters. The inaugural £50,000 award for children's fiction will open for submissions in spring 2026, with the shortlist of eight books chosen by a panel of adult judges, chaired by the UK's Children's Laureate Frank Cottrell-Boyce, announced in November 2026. The winner, to be announced in February 2027, will be selected by a combined panel of judges, with three child judges joining the adults.

It exists to inspire more people to read the world's best fiction, driven by a simple belief: that great fiction not only brings joy to millions but has the power to change the way we think about the world. Our aim is to foster a love of reading and to support writers and readers of the future. The Booker Prizes occupy a unique position in the literary sphere, enjoying an enviable reputation as a cultural institution that is highly respected, much loved and hotly debated throughout the world. Over the past 50 years, almost 700 extraordinary books have been brought to the attention of the public, influencing reading tastes and transforming culture in Britain and beyond, along with the careers of hundreds of authors from around the globe.

The aim of the prize is to engage and grow a new generation of readers by recognising and championing the best children's fiction from writers around the world.

The development of the prize over the last three years has been made possible with thanks to donations from a small group of philanthropic supporters. The inaugural £50,000 award for children's fiction will open for submissions in spring 2026, with the shortlist of eight books chosen by a panel of adult judges, chaired by the UK's Children's Laureate Frank Cottrell-Boyce, announced in November 2026. The winner, to be announced in February 2027, will be selected by a combined panel of judges, with three child judges joining the adults.
