About the Role

We are undertaking a flagship transformation programme for one of our client's Fleet Operations, moving from manual processes to fully automated workflows.

As our QA & Governance Lead, you will play a critical role in making this transformation seamless, compliant, and built for long-term success.

• Build a platform for future career progression, with opportunities to move into senior leadership roles

What You'll Do

Phase 1 - Pre Automation:

• Audit and improve manual processes for accuracy and compliance
• Reconcile data across systems (Salesforce, pricing tools, spreadsheets)
• Provide coaching to support accuracy and consistency
• Create detailed documentation to underpin future automation
• Define baseline KPIs for manual operations

Phase 2 - Post Automation:

• Own the governance of automated workflows, ensuring SLA adherence and compliance
• Monitor accuracy, exceptions, and escalations across automated systems
• Design and maintain audit rules for automated processes
• Conduct root-cause analysis to resolve issues and drive improvements
• Compare post-automation performance against baselines to enable continuous improvement

What We're Looking For

We are seeking an individual with extensive experience in QA, audit, compliance, or operations, ideally within sales, fleet, or contract management. You will also bring:

• Confidence working across multiple systems (Salesforce experience is highly valued)
• Strong process mapping, documentation, and operational analysis skills
• Experience in transformation or automation projects (desirable)
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence and build stakeholder buy-in

Key Competencies

• Ability to influence without authority and coach peers
• Curiosity and tenacity in solving root causes of process or data issues
• A strong advocate for change and automation adoption
• Excellent attention to detail in documentation and compliance
• Strong analytical thinking with a KPI-driven approach
• Ability to work cross-functionally to deliver on transformation milestones
• Commitment to compliance and regulatory conduct, including GDPR, PECR, FCA, and AML
• Acting in line with the principles of Treating Customers Fairly, ensuring vulnerable customer situations are appropriately identified and managed
