• Designing and implementing scalable operational processes and systems
• Owning delivery metrics including volume, SLAs, refunds, margin, and NPS
• Managing resource planning and forecasting in line with sales demand
• Ensuring compliance (e.g. GDPR) with a zero-breach track record
• Delivering high-touch, consultative service that drives client satisfaction
• Partnering with Sales and Product to improve processes and retention
• Coaching delivery leaders to build and scale high-performing teams, including addressing underperformance when needed

We’d Love to Hear From You If You:

• Have a strong background in operations leadership within tech-enabled service businesses
• Have built and scaled systems that deliver measurable performance improvements
• Have led multidisciplinary teams across consulting, content, or service delivery
• Know how to forecast, plan, and allocate resources effectively
• Understand compliance frameworks and are confident managing delivery risk
• Are commercially minded and comfortable owning KPIs and delivery outcomes
• Thrive in dynamic, high-growth environments and enjoy operational problem-solving
• Communicate effectively across teams, leadership, and external stakeholders

What You’ll Get:

• Competitive base salary (shared upfront at the first interview)
• Private health insurance
• £1,500 remote work setup allowance
• Annual team retreats — past trips include Barcelona and Rome
