CDM Director

The kind of person who has thought about going out on your own. Everyone good has.
The work was never the problem. The two years without a salary and all of that risk upfront was.
You'd be taking a recent group acquisition and handed the keys to build it out into a new region. The company has clients and massive resources, you’d introduce your own and manage the growth. There’s support in terms of initial resource so you’re not doing everything yourself, and there’s existing work, bid teams and BDMs galore to help get you off the ground.
You probably already know how difficult it can be to do this in some places. Six months to get one line changed in a manual. A hire that needs a business case, a headcount panel and wasted quarters waiting for sign off. Rates set by someone in another office who's never met the client.
Here you change the process on the day you decided to change it. You hire in October because you want them in October. You price the job. Nobody is carrying your decisions upstairs and coming back three weeks later with a question.
You’d be working for a well backed group of companies. Build this into something that matters and there's a real chance of ownership in it for you, even without that you’re looking at a top salary, a very significant bonus and still more progression.
You’d come and go into the office as suits you and your team, have ultimate flexibility and take 30 days holiday plus bank holidays, with nobody counting your hours.
