What you will be doing;
- Establishing company KPIs with Finance and LT and embedding a structured monthly performance review process
- Selecting and implementing the right tools (using existing systems where possible) to track KPIs, priorities and actions

- Maintaining a live company-wide priority and action tracker and escalating slippage where needed
- Partnering with Field CTO/SVP Sales on implementation of the new GTM engine and HubSpot, ensuring reporting aligns with company KPIs

- Helping CFO and Field CTO structure a scalable contracts and NDA process, including workflow, use of AI tools and external legal support

- Redesigning the risk register and defining a clear corporate risk management approach and policy
- Designing and running the annual planning cycle (Sept/Oct), ensuring strategy, priorities and budget align
- Supporting and coordinating board paper preparation (with CEO, EA and Finance), ensuring KPIs, risks and priority updates are clear and delivered on time
- Introducing structured Quarterly Business Reviews once the core operating foundations are in place
What you'll bring;
- Experience in a senior operations, transformation or business operations role in a complex organisation.
- A track record of setting up and running operating cadence (planning cycles, performance reviews, exec reporting).
- Strong program and project management skills — able to run large cross-functional initiatives and see them through to completion.
- Comfortable working directly with executives and supporting senior forums (LT, board), including preparing materials and driving follow-up.
- Able to take broad or ambiguous priorities and turn them into clear plans with owners, timelines and outcomes.
- Experience supporting or running annual operating plans and quarterly business reviews.
- Experience in risk management and governance, including maintaining risk registers, tracking actions and supporting board-level reporting.
- Strong stakeholder management skills — able to work across teams and bring people together to get things done.
- Exposure to business systems, transformation or platform change, and able to work with technical teams to improve processes and tools.
- Previous experience in a listed environment and/or high growth technology business would be favourably considered.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to structure discussions and present clearly to senior stakeholders.
