What Is the Opportunity?

Stepping into this crucial 12-month maternity cover, you will oversee the commercial performance, customer experience, and people leadership of our operational excellence and support proposition. Your primary focus will be steering the frameworks that keep our UK Contact Centre thriving - specifically across operational excellence, quality assurance, resource planning, and onboarding and training.

Unlike typical operational roles, this isn't just about hitting metrics; it's about leading an award-winning environment - recently named the best large contact centre of the year. You will act as the linchpin that connects high-level strategy to daily excellence, ensuring our teams are perfectly equipped and supported to deliver exceptional experiences for the small businesses we protect.

As our Head of Operational Excellence & Support, you’ll:

Lead, guide, and create meaningful development plans for the leaders in your business area
Directly steer our operational excellence, resource planning, quality assurance, and onboarding frameworks to ensure optimal personnel levels and roadmaps for commercial success.
Partner with leaders across Product, Commercial, Finance, and People teams to collaborate effectively on new and established initiatives.
Drive the achievement of KPIs and OKRs to meet significant growth targets and improve our operational effectiveness across New Business Sales, Renewals and Customer Service
Obsess over results, providing clear insights and commentary to the wider Operation and Simply Business leadership.
Step into an established operation, quickly building trust to maintain stability and drive performance against targets from early on.

We’re looking for someone who is:

An expert in contact centre support, bringing deep operational knowledge in at least two of the following: resource planning, quality assurance, or onboarding and training.
A proven leader with a strong track record of motivating and developing high-performing support teams in a contact centre environment.
Highly analytical and strategically minded - capable of bringing the "outside in" by acting as a window to the wider industry, translating external market shifts, competitor insights, and emerging trends into actionable internal strategies.
An excellent communicator and presenter who can effectively interact with stakeholders at all levels to execute change management.
Passionate about understanding customer behaviours and acting on those insights to drive revenue growth and service targets.
Adaptable, pragmatic, and able to effectively balance competing priorities both within and outside the UK Operation.

(We know it’s tough, but please try to avoid the confidence gap. You don’t have to match all the bullet points above to be considered for this role.)

We encourage people of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. We are committed to maintaining an inclusive, supportive place for you to be you and do your very best work.

By ensuring our contact centre is flawlessly resourced, trained, and quality-driven, you'll be building the essential foundation our teams need to thrive. Apply today and help us enable big dreams for small businesses.
