Working at the intersection of data, design and engineering, we set direction, prioritise what matters most, and deliver outcomes that move the business forward. What You'll Be Doing You'll be joining the Retail Categories team. Retail only wins category by category; a single, generic shopping experience cannot do justice to the unique ways people buy apparel, auto parts, or home improvement goods. This role owns the end to end category shopping experience for a defined portfolio, transforming broad customer promises into shipped surfaces and distinct emotional hooks that drive habitual buying behavior. Define Category Strategy: Formulate the category experience strategy and decide which categories and bets to invest in first, sequencing for maximum growth and impact. Execute Signature Product Bets: Translate each category's promise into concrete, testable product bets-such as personal shopper features using doorstep returns for Apparel or fitment accurate part lookup for Auto Parts-and ship them end to end. Optimise Category Surfaces: Own the category merchandising and storefront surfaces that differentiate one vertical from another while maintaining a cohesive and intuitive Retail experience. Leverage Platform Capabilities: Partner with shared platform infrastructure (such as doorstep returns or fulfillment) to build bespoke category experiences without rebuilding core infrastructure. Drive Cross Functional Collaboration: Partner deeply with BD, Sales, Catalog, and Search teams to ensure category surfaces are powered by accurate data and align cleanly with merchant relationships. Measure Impact: Use data, customer insight, and experimentation to prioritise initiatives, define success metrics, and directly move the needle on conversion and repeat purchases. What You'll Need to Thrive Essential Proven Consumer Product Experience: Demonstrated success in product management on consumer facing products, ideally within e commerce, marketplaces, or multi sided platforms. Track Record of 0 to 1 Innovation: Proven ability to ship brand new or highly differentiated shopping experiences, navigating ambiguity to break broad opportunities into focused, testable bets. Strong Analytical Capabilities: Comfort driving data informed prioritisation, establishing robust success metrics, and utilising experimentation to measure category level impact. Stakeholder & Business Partnership: Experience partnering closely with cross functional product teams (Engineering, Design, Analytics) as well as commercial teams like BD and Sales to align business needs with product strategy. Customer Obsessed Product Instinct: A natural intuition for customer behaviour, understanding what makes a shopping experience feel right and how to design the emotional hook that drives retention. Nice to Have Specialised Retail Domain Knowledge: Prior experience working with merchandising, category management, product detail pages (PDP), or specialised shopping flows. Data Structure Familiarity: Experience working alongside Catalog or Search product areas to power front end surfaces with complex item data. Why Join Us Solve meaningful problems at real scale. Work on a complex, always on marketplace that impacts millions every day. See your impact, fast. Ship, test and improve ideas quickly in a low hierarchy, high ownership environment.

If you want to be at the forefront of operational databases for AI and intelligent applications at one of the fastest-growing data and AI companies in the world, this is your opportunity. The impact you will have Drive new Lakebase revenue by identifying, qualifying, and driving Lakebase activations and consumption within a defined territory, in partnership with regional Account Executives and the broader account team. Lead with outcomes for key Lakebase personas - including platform teams and developers, data teams, and central IT- articulating how Lakebase helps them ship features faster, simplify operational data architectures, and improve governance and cost efficiency. Sell the value of fully-managed Postgres for intelligent applications, positioning Lakebase as the optimal choice for operational workloads that power real-time, AI-driven experiences. Run complex, multi-threaded sales cycles from discovery and value hypothesis through commercial negotiation and close, navigating executive, technical, and line-of-business stakeholders. Orchestrate proof-of-value and POCs that validate Lakebase's benefits for OLTP-style workloads, reverse ETL, and AI/ML-driven applications, in partnership with solution architects and specialists.

Align to measurable business outcomes such as performance, developer productivity, time-to-market for new features, cost reduction, and simplification of the operational data landscape. Partner cross-functionally with Product Management, Marketing, Customer Success, and Partner teams to shape territory plans, launch plays, and co-selling motions with key ISVs and GSIs. Enable the field by sharing Lakebase best practices, success stories, and sales motions with broader sales teams, helping scale Lakebase proficiency across the organization. What success looks like in this role This role requires the ability to operate across two key motions simultaneously: Establish top strategic focus accounts by engaging application development teams to create net-new intelligent applications leveraging Lakebase. Drive longer-term Postgres standardization and migration within Databricks' most strategic accounts. Candidates should demonstrate how they can act as a force multiplier across multiple dimensions of the business. Success in this role requires strength in four areas: Business ownership - Operate at a business-unit level by tracking revenue, pipeline, and key observations, and by identifying areas needing additional focus or support. Strategic account engagement - Partner with account teams to engage priority accounts across the global DB700, driving strategic opportunities from initial engagement through successful outcomes. Field, account, & customer enablement: Align customers and the field on the value of Lakebase by equipping AEs and SAs with the messaging and execution motions needed to confidently own accounts without specialist intervention. Market voice and thought leadership - Develop an internal and external presence by contributing to global AMAs and internal forums, and by representing Databricks at key first- and third-party events. The interview process is designed to evaluate candidates across all four of these dimensions. What we look for Proven enterprise SaaS sales experience, consistently exceeding quota in complex, multi-stakeholder deals. Proven success selling data platforms, operational databases (e.g., Postgres, MySQL, cloud-native DBaaS), or adjacent data/AI infrastructure to technical buyers and business leaders. Strong understanding of modern data and application architectures, including cloud-native services, microservices, event-driven systems, and how operational data underpins AI and analytics strategies. Ability to sell to both technical stakeholders (developers, architects, data engineers) and business stakeholders (product leaders, operations, line-of-business owners). Demonstrated experience leading specialist or overlay motions, working jointly with core Account Executives to create and progress opportunities. Executive presence with the ability to whiteboard architectures, lead C-level conversations, and build trust with senior decision makers. Strong value selling skills: adept at discovering pain, building a business case, and tying technical capabilities to clear, quantified outcomes. Excellent communication, storytelling, and negotiation skills, with comfort presenting to both large and small audiences. Bachelor's degree or equivalent practical experience. Preferred qualifications Experience selling Postgres, operational databases, OLTP workloads, or transactional cloud database services, ideally within large or strategic accounts. Familiarity with data platforms, lakehouse architectures, and cloud ecosystems (AWS, Azure, GCP), including how operational databases fit within broader data and AI strategies. Understanding of reverse ETL, real-time decisioning, and operational analytics use cases, and how they drive value for customer-facing and internal applications. Exposure to AI-native and agent-driven applications that depend on low-latency, highly scalable operational data services. Prior experience in a high-growth, category-creating environment, helping shape new plays, messaging, and customer narratives. Experience collaborating with partners and ISVs to drive joint pipeline and co-sell motions. This description is intended to outline the core responsibilities and qualifications for the Lakebase Sales Specialist role. Actual responsibilities may evolve as the Lakebase product and go-to-market motions continue to grow and mature.

We are the National Oceanography Centre (NOC) - the UK's leading institution for integrated coastal and deep ocean research. Through our ground-breaking research, collaboration, and game-changing innovation we work to gain a deeper understanding of our ocean, helping every living thing on our planet flourish. About the role As the world faces increasingly complex environmental challenges, understanding the ocean has never been more important. At the National Oceanography Centre (NOC), our engineers, scientists and technical specialists work together to deliver the knowledge, technology and innovation needed to help society better understand our ocean and its impact on our planet.

You'll work across NOC, building strong relationships with scientists, operational teams and leaders to drive innovation, improve how we work and ensure our engineering capability continues to support world-class science.

This is a rare opportunity to help shape both a function and an organisation at a pivotal moment. You'll have the chance to influence strategy, challenge thinking, develop people and leave a lasting legacy on an organisation whose work matters globally. About you You understand that lasting change happens when people feel involved, valued and inspired by a clear purpose. You bring energy, empathy and authenticity to your leadership, and you're able to create environments where people can do their best work. You're someone who can see the bigger picture while remaining connected to the realities of engineering delivery and operational performance.

Construction / Building Services Private Equity Turnaround Strategic Finance Leadership. Business Transformation. Operational Impact. Are you a commercially sharp CFO or experienced Finance Director ready to play a pivotal role in rebuilding, transforming and scaling a Private Equity-backed business? We are a leading independent provider of lift and escalator maintenance, repair and modernisation services across the UK - is entering an important phase of performance acceleration, operational transformation and value creation. We are now seeking a high-calibre Finance Director with strong construction, engineering or building services experience and a sound understanding of percentage-of-completion accounting. This is not a step-up opportunity or a role for someone who wants to oversee an already polished finance function. We are hiring an experienced finance leader who has previously operated as the number-one finance person within a business and already has the playbook required to lead change, strengthen controls and help rebuild the financial infrastructure. You will partner closely with the Managing Director and Private Equity stakeholders to drive financial excellence, improve operational performance and support ambitious long-term growth. This is a genuinely hands-on, high-impact leadership role within a fast-paced SME. You will operate at board level while remaining close enough to the detail to understand the numbers, challenge processes and support the team in delivering the basics brilliantly. The Role at a Glance Role: CFO / Finance Director - Qualified Location: Dartford, Kent - Hybrid, with at least three days per week at HQ Package: Competitive Base Salary + 15% Annual Bonus Paid Quarterly + Car Allowance, Pension and Extensive Benefits Hours: 40 per week: 08:00-17:00, with one hour for lunch Company: Pioneer of the British lift industry. Formerly part of OTIS and Private Equity-backed by R Capital since 2025. Specialism: Independent provider of lift installation, maintenance, repair and modernisation services. Pedigree: Clients include national retail chains, major hospitals, leading facilities management providers and Ministry of Defence sites. Culture: Safety Focused Ethical Accountable Quality Driven Hands-On Your Background: Proven experience as a Finance Director, CFO or number-one finance leader within a turnaround, Private Equity-backed or high-change SME. Core Skills: ACA or ACCA qualified Construction or Engineering Accounting Percentage-of-Completion Accounting Cash and Working Capital Transformation Team Leadership About us We are a well-established and highly-respected name in the UK lift and escalator services sector. Previously part of OTIS - one of the world's leading manufacturers and service providers of elevators, escalators and moving walkways - the business is now owned by R Capital. With greater agility as an independent company, we are rebuilding its platform and preparing for a significant period of growth. The business delivers maintenance, repair, installation and modernisation solutions across commercial, residential and public-sector environments, including prestigious and high-profile sites. We currently retain much of the operational infrastructure of a larger SME, while operating with the agility and resourcefulness of a smaller organisation. The successful Finance Director must therefore be equally comfortable shaping strategy, improving systems and getting personally involved in the detail. As a Private Equity-backed organisation, we are focused on operational excellence, cash optimisation, cost control and sustainable growth. This is a rare opportunity to join the senior leadership team during a major transformation and value-creation phase. The Opportunity: Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will lead the entire finance function and act as a strategic partner to the MD, senior leadership team and Private Equity owners.
