Role PurposeThe PS Operations Director is the CDO's execution partner on both operational performance and strategic transformation. This is one of the most senior and consequential roles in Keyloop PS — responsible for running the operational engine of the PS organisation while simultaneously driving the Services 2.0 change agenda that will take PS from a cost centre to a growth engine.
Day to day, this role owns the operational infrastructure that keeps PS performing: financial reporting, resource management, utilisation, commercial governance, and the Services Sales Desk. Strategically, this role owns the execution of the transformation roadmap — workforce distribution into RDCs and GDCs, productised services operationalisation, AI and automation adoption, and the operating model changes that will deliver Keyloop's PS margin and growth targets.
The PS Operations Director is a change agent and operational executor — as comfortable driving a transformation programme as owning the weekly performance cadence. This role sets the pace for the PS organisation, holds it to account, and ensures the distance between strategy and execution is as short as possible.
