This is a senior leadership role for an experienced professional who can help turn strategic priorities into stronger execution, operational effectiveness, leadership capability, and sustained organisational performance. You will provide practical, trusted advisory support to senior stakeholders while helping shape and deliver performance-improvement initiatives across the organisation.

Organisations often have ambitious strategic goals but need clearer alignment, stronger operating discipline, and practical leadership support to convert those goals into measurable results.

In this role, you will work with senior leaders to identify performance priorities, strengthen operational effectiveness, develop leadership capability, and support a culture of accountability, innovation, and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Be Trusted To Do

• Provide strategic advisory support to senior stakeholders on organisational effectiveness, operational performance, leadership capability, and execution risks.
• Translate strategic priorities into practical plans, measurable outcomes, governance approaches, and implementation road-maps.
• Lead or coordinate performance-improvement, transformation, and continuous-improvement initiatives.
• Partner with cross-functional leaders to improve alignment, accountability, decision-making, and delivery against shared objectives.
• Assess operational challenges and recommend practical improvements to processes, ways of working, and performance measures.
• Coach and develop leaders to strengthen leadership effectiveness, team performance, and change capability.
• Build trusted relationships with stakeholders and communicate complex issues, recommendations, and progress clearly.
• Encourage innovation and continuous improvement while balancing strategic ambition with operational reality.
• Support the organisation’s long-term growth and performance objectives.

What Success Looks Like

• Strategic priorities are converted into clear, practical, and measurable action plans.
• Senior stakeholders have credible advice and decision support on organisational-performance challenges.
• Improvement initiatives have defined ownership, milestones, governance, and success measures.
• Leaders are better equipped to lead teams, manage change, and deliver performance outcomes.
• The organisation demonstrates stronger execution, operational effectiveness, stakeholder alignment, and continuous-improvement habits.

What We’re Looking For

• 15+ years of progressively responsible experience in senior leadership, organisational performance, strategy, operations, transformation, management consulting, or a related field.
• Demonstrated experience leading or materially contributing to complex performance-improvement, transformation, strategy-execution, or operational-effectiveness initiatives.
• Strong strategic-planning, commercial judgement, operational-management, and decision-making capability.
• Credibility and confidence when advising senior stakeholders and facilitating high-value discussions.
• Strong communication, stakeholder-management, leadership-development, and problem-solving skills.
• Financial acumen and the ability to balance strategic objectives with practical operating realities.
• A collaborative, outcome-focused approach to leadership, advisory work, and continuous improvement.
