  • Own dashboards and reporting infrastructure that provide leadership with real-time visibility into utilisation, capacity, and delivery quality.
  • Design and ship AI-first operational workflows and internal tooling that convert manual processes into scalable systems.
  • Run the weekly operating cadence, including capacity reviews, customer assignments, and workload management across teams.
  • Drive the strategic planning process, covering OKR setting, business reviews, and long-range planning, leading multi-workstream initiatives end-to-end.
  • Partner with Services leadership to hold teams accountable to targets and ensure the organisation delivers against its KPIs.
Job Requirments
  • Five to seven years in management consulting or strategy and operations at a high-growth B2B SaaS company, with a track record of owning complex workstreams end-to-end.
  • Demonstrated ability to build repeatable operational systems from design through implementation and optimisation.
  • Expert-level data modelling and analysis skills, with the ability to communicate insights clearly to varied audiences.
  • Hands-on experience with Salesforce, SQL, and BI tools such as Sigma or Looker.
  • AI already embedded in day-to-day work, with familiarity with tools such as Claude Code or Cursor considered a strong advantage.
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, including the ability to influence without direct authority across busy cross-functional partners.
