Build, develop and lead high performing operations teams across functions such as fleet readiness, incident response, depot operations and fleet development.
Design organisation structures and roles that optimise output and accountability.
Lead stand ups, reviews and forecasting forums that reinforce performance culture.
Oversee multi-layered, shift-based teams including field operations, control room / remote operations and incident response functions.

Reporting & Insights

Establish mechanisms for rigorous reporting on key business metrics to inform executive decision making.
Own operational scorecards, tracking progress against targets and enabling data led improvements.
Track and optimise core metrics such as vehicle uptime, trip success rate, downtime, incident rates, response times and charging efficiency.
