You will lead a multi-disciplinary team and be accountable for commercial performance, operational excellence and people outcomes. Success in this role looks like clarity of purpose across the business, leaders who are confident and aligned, and a culture that balances high standards with trust and accountability. You will bring structure where it is needed, momentum where it has stalled, and discipline to execution without losing the human touch.

This is not a turnaround driven by crisis. It is a transformation driven by opportunity. The foundations are in place. What is required now is a leader who can connect strategy to action, translate ambition into measurable outcomes, and create an environment where people know what good looks like and rise to it. You will be highly visible, trusted to make decisions, and expected to leave the business stronger than you found it.

About you
You are a senior operator and people leader who has run complex teams or businesses and felt the weight of full accountability. You lead from the front but build depth behind you. You are commercially sharp, comfortable with P&L ownership, and disciplined in how you prioritise effort and resources. You care deeply about culture, not as a slogan, but as a daily leadership practice.

You communicate with intent, make clear decisions, and hold others to high standards while backing them to succeed. You are motivated by impact and legacy, not title. You measure success by the quality of leaders you develop, the consistency of results you deliver, and the reputation you build internally and externally.

whats on offer You will step into a role with genuine autonomy, senior leadership exposure and the authority to shape how the business operates. The organisation offers stability, scale and a values-led environment that supports decisive leadership. You will be backed to invest in your people, improve systems and processes, and drive sustainable performance.

This is a role for a leader who wants scope, influence and the chance to make a visible difference. One where success is recognised, leadership is trusted, and impact is real.
