• 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 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
