• Continuously refine processes and introduce automation where appropriate.
• Leverage technology to improve output, tracking, and team alignment.

• Develop and monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) to support strategic decision-making.
• Build dashboards and analytics tools that provide leadership with actionable insights.
• Use data to highlight opportunities and make recommendations for improvement.
• Champion a culture of agility, learning, and operational innovation.
• Encourage best practice sharing and process adoption across the business.

Internal Communication

• Ensure consistent and transparent communication of strategic priorities across teams.
• Manage third-party vendor relationships and ensure tools and systems are fully optimised.
• Oversee internal platforms including CRM, project management, and communication systems.

Project Management

• Lead and deliver cross-functional initiatives that align with overall business goals.
• Ensure milestones, resources, and timelines are managed effectively.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Strong expertise in process design, cross-functional operations, and continuous improvement.
• A data-driven mindset with excellent analytical skills.
• Familiarity with CRM, workflow tools, and digital systems used to enhance operational performance.
