• Data & Insights (BI & Analytics for precision insights)
• Legal, Finance, Supply Chain, Technology Services, and more

Whether it’s BI/MI roadmaps, service delivery standards, or strategic system improvements—you’ll lead from the front, inspire the best in others, and make things happen.

Your Day-to-Day Impact:

• Master of Metrics: Elevate the Business Intelligence capabilities with an MI/BI roadmap that distinguishes this organisation from the competition and positions them as a client-driven powerhouse.
• People & Process Leader: Raise the bar on documentation quality, process design, and implementation, creating an "exec-ready" standard across the business.
• Strategic Partner: Forge strong relationships across Client Services, Direct Delivery, and other operational arms, setting a precedent for collaboration, cohesion, and excellence.
• Innovator & Implementer: Lead the charge on new system enhancements, process changes, and third-party partnerships, balancing contractual, operational, and commercial needs with ease.

• You have a proven record in RPO/MSP environments, with a deep understanding of business processes, data, and systems that keep operations thriving.
• Your planning is meticulous, yet you adapt seamlessly when the unexpected arises.
• You’re relentless in pursuing improvement, whether it’s in processes, team dynamics, or the client experience.
• You communicate clearly and convincingly, aligning business goals with your team and creating unity across the organisation.
• You see the big picture in data and are skilled at translating complex findings into straightforward, actionable insights.
• You’re self-driven, focused, and motivated to create exceptional experiences—both internally and for their clients.
