Professional Services Lead - #1688631
Startup Resources

We’re hiring a Lead for Professional Services to take full ownership of the department — fixing delivery delays, driving project profitability, and generating new service revenue. This is a senior, remote-first role with full autonomy to lead, structure, and grow a commercial services function.
You’ll need a proven background in project management, ideally within an enterprise sales or B2B services environment. Your focus will be on client delivery, not product implementation — ensuring scoped projects land on time and drive revenue.
Key expectations:
- You must be able to cover your cost through delivery and service revenue
- You’ll be responsible for £60k+ in new revenue annually through upsells, scoped work, and pre-sales
- Projects must be structured, costed, delivered, and closed with margin
- You’ll take a hands-on lead role — there’s no hand-holding
What you’ll do:
- Own all PS delivery and be accountable for timelines, scope, and outcomes
- Triage project drift and embed structure and accountability across all active engagements
- Lead pre-sales scoping and costed proposals alongside Sales
- Upsell and cross-sell PS services to existing enterprise clients
- Report directly to the Managing Director with revenue performance and delivery metrics
- Work cross-functionally to align services with client and commercial goals
What you’ll need:
- Minimum 2 years’ management experience
- Strong background in project or programme delivery in a tech or services setting
- Commercial acumen — you’re confident scoping costed projects and delivering margin
- Comfortable leading pre-sales conversations with enterprise accounts
- Able to work independently and take ownership without micromanagement
What you’ll get:
- £60,000 base salary
- Commission paid quarterly on upsell/cross-sell revenue
- Fully remote work (within the UK)
- Private healthcare, 25 days holiday + public holidays, life cover (4x salary)
- Sick pay, compassionate leave, and development budget
- The chance to lead a function, not inherit one
