Commercial Tech - Senior Associate

Manchester – £80,000 - £90,000

Commercial Technology Senior Associate
Manchester - £80k-£90k + Bonus/Benefits
 
High-profile tech and outsourcing work, direct exposure to FTSE 100 clients and a genuine seat at the table on major transformation projects. Add in a strong bonus, private medical, enhanced family benefits, a solid pension, 25 days holiday with buy/sell and flexible hybrid working, and it's a package that matches the quality of work.
 
You'll be advising on complex commercial and technology matters, from large-scale outsourcing and digital transformation projects through to SaaS, cloud and licensing arrangements. The work is varied, often high-value and sits right at the point where technology, regulation and commercial strategy meet.
 
There's real client access here. You'll build relationships with major corporates across sectors like retail, energy and industrials, acting as a trusted adviser rather than just supporting on transactions. You'll also play a role in mentoring juniors and contributing to the continued growth of the team.
 
This is a well-established national practice with a strong reputation in the tech space, offering the kind of work you'd typically associate with London, but with a Manchester platform and better balance.
 
Who suits this? Someone with solid commercial/technology experience who enjoys complex, project-driven work and wants more visibility, better clients and a clearer progression path.
 
If it sounds like something worth exploring, happy to talk it through.
