Team Manager
📍 Coventry
💰 £40,000 – £50,000 (DOE)
📊 Reporting to: Head of Operations
About the Role
This is not a traditional “senior accountant plus management” position. Here, your team is your product. Your success is defined by a team that delivers accurate, profitable work on time and to a consistent standard.
You’ll operate as a true playing manager — spending around 50–60% of your time chargeable, supporting, coaching, and unblocking your team, with the remainder focused on leadership, performance management, and operational delivery.
You don’t need to be the strongest technical expert in the room. Instead, you’ll be the one who:
Key Responsibilities
Own team performance
Drive operational efficiency
Lead and develop your team
Manage performance proactively
Maintain quality and standards
Own problem resolution
Who This Role Is For
✅ Experienced practice professionals ready to step into leadership
You’ve likely been informally leading teams, mentoring colleagues, and taking ownership — now you want the title and structure to match.
✅ Managers whose people skills are underutilised
You naturally handle team dynamics, performance, and coaching — but your current role doesn’t formally recognise it.

A Straightforward Reality Check
This role isn’t for everyone.
But if you thrive on leading people, driving performance, and building a team that delivers, this could be exactly what you’re looking for.
