Monitor operational budgets, expenditure, resource utilization, and cost performance while identifying opportunities for sustainable cost optimization.
Collaborate with finance, human resources, technology, sales, customer service, procurement, and other functions to resolve operational challenges and deliver business priorities.
Establish consistent operating procedures, controls, documentation, and quality standards across relevant teams and business processes.
Analyze operational data and management information to identify trends, risks, performance gaps, and opportunities for improvement.
Lead major operational projects, transformation initiatives, process redesigns, and technology implementation activities from planning through delivery.
Ensure operational activities comply with applicable legislation, internal policies, regulatory requirements, health and safety standards, and risk management controls.
Manage escalated customer, supplier, employee, and operational issues, ensuring timely investigation, resolution, communication, and appropriate follow-up.
Prepare and present operational performance reports, forecasts, business reviews, recommendations, and improvement plans to senior leadership and key stakeholders.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Operations Management, Supply Chain Management, Finance, Engineering, or a related discipline; equivalent professional experience may be considered.
7 or more years of progressive experience in operations management, business operations, service delivery, logistics, supply chain, or a related leadership environment.
Demonstrated experience managing operational teams, managers, budgets, performance targets, business processes, and cross-functional initiatives.
Strong knowledge of operational performance management, KPI development, process improvement, workforce planning, resource allocation, and service-level management.
Proven experience using data and management information to identify trends, diagnose performance issues, and support evidence-based operational decisions.
Strong financial and commercial awareness, including experience with operational budgets, cost control, forecasting, resource planning, and business performance analysis.
Experience with enterprise business systems such as Microsoft Dynamics 365, SAP, Oracle, Salesforce, ServiceNow, or comparable platforms.
Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Microsoft PowerPoint; experience with Power BI, Tableau, or other business intelligence platforms is preferred.
Practical experience with continuous improvement methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, process mapping, root-cause analysis, or operational excellence frameworks.
Strong knowledge of risk management, compliance, quality assurance, health and safety, business continuity, and operational control principles.
Experience leading organizational change, process transformation, technology implementation, or operational improvement programs.
Excellent leadership and people-management skills, including coaching, performance management, delegation, conflict resolution, and team development.
Strong communication, negotiation, stakeholder management, analytical, and decision-making skills with the ability to influence senior leaders and cross-functional teams.
Preferred qualifications include an MBA, Chartered Management Institute qualification, Lean Six Sigma certification, PRINCE2, Agile, or other relevant management and operational certifications. Candidates must have the legal right to work in the United Kingdom.
