Some roles shape strategy. Others deliver it. This role does both and holds accountability for the result.
As Head of Strategic Performance & Strategy, you will take ownership of performance across a £450m+ operational landscape, operating at the point where critical decisions are made and real outcomes are delivered.
This is not a role for someone who wants to advise from a distance. It is for a leader who wants to step into the engine room of a complex organisation, take hold of its biggest challenges, and drive measurable change through to completion.
You will define direction, build the systems that enable execution, and ensure results are delivered and sustained.
What makes this role compelling is simple: your impact will be visible, material, and enduring.
