This brief is designed to give candidates a deeper insight into the opportunity inherent within the role, the challenges the role presents, and provide access to the detail that sits behind the job specification. Key deliverables within the first 12 months include: Within the first 6 - 10 months of their tenure, the successful individual will need to review all existing contracts and set up a robust cost model.

Ford & Stanley Interview Process: 1st Stage : Candidate Discovery: An open, conversational and consultative discussion where interested candidates are assessed on their suitability for the role in the context of the above and challenged on how the opportunity lines up with their career aspirations, motivations, financial expectations and personal circumstances. 2nd Stage : The 'shortlist': Candidates are asked to reflect on the candidate discovery discussion, take time to reflect on the opportunity and undertake subsequent research on the client business, reporting back on their thoughts, questions and providing additional specific information on their suitability (if applicable). Final checks of role, package and logistical alignments made. Client Company's Interview Process: 1st Stage - Teams interview with a focus on their background and soft skill suitability with both the General Manager and HR Manager. Psychometric Test: Candidates successful at the 1st stage will undergo a Personality Assessment, which will inform the conversation at the 2nd Stage. This assessment will be organised and provided by Ford & Stanley Executive Search. 2nd Stage - Face-to-face interview with General Manager and HR Manager. 3rd Stage - Rubber stamping session with preferred candidate. Good to know: The position has occurred as a result of business growth and a subsequent need for a contracts subject matter expert.

This is an SME with an incredible passion for the products, industry, progress and achievements of the collective. With a business culture of "name, not a number", this is a business where "everyone knows everyone", and this sets the business apart from others in the sector. With the flagship product expected to be in circulation for decades, there is a real sense of creating a legacy. The successful candidate will become part of this legacy and be one of the key players. The goals for the first year and beyond are ambitious - between setting up processes, frameworks and a cost model from scratch, this individual will have tight timeframes for setting up agreements and assessing the industry for further opportunities. For those with a rail background, a black book of contacts will be beneficial, but not essential. The company have a foot in the door with major players already due to their high reputation and well-networked senior leadership. However, they will be able to capitalise on those relationships, and equally, pursue, develop and close cold leads as well. While operational and hands-on business development responsibilities fall under the remit of the position, a strategic flair and aspiration are essential to the completion of business objectives, and the success of this individual will be directly linked to the success of the business. Budget: Low: £60,000 / Mid: £62,500 / High: £65,000 + wider business benefits.
