In this pivotal role, you’ll be at the forefront of innovation - leading offshore teams and ensuring the seamless delivery of key services including bookkeeping, year-end accounts, management accounts, tax computations and more.

You’ll be responsible for:

  • Strategic leadership of our offshoring initiatives, aligning delivery with business goals.

  • Identifying opportunities for process improvement and service expansion.
  • Spotting opportunities to harness automation and streamline offshore operations for greater efficiency and impact.

This is more than a management role - it’s a chance to influence how we scale, evolve, and deliver value globally. If you're passionate about operational strategy, team leadership, and making a measurable difference, we’d love to hear from you.

 

You'll be getting stuck into a range of tasks and responsibilities, including;

  • Driving the offshoring strategy for compliance services, aligning delivery with business objectives and growth plans.
  • Oversee offshore team performance, ensuring high-quality output and delivering training where necessary
  • Monitor and manage KPIs, service level agreements, and deadlines to ensure consistent delivery excellence.
  • Identify and implement process improvements, including opportunities to use automation to streamline operations and reduce manual effort.
  • Collaborate with stakeholders across departments to embed offshore solutions and drive adoption.
  • Ensure compliance and quality standards are met across all offshore outputs, with a focus on continuous improvement.
  • Support onboarding and training of offshore team members, fostering a culture of accountability and development.
  • Provide strategic insight into offshore capacity planning, resource allocation, and service expansion.
  • Act as a key point of contact between UK teams and offshore delivery centres, ensuring clear communication and alignment.
  • Champion innovation and scalability, contributing to the evolution of our global delivery model.
