This role sits at the heart of the leadership agenda, reporting directly to the CEO with regular exposure to the Board and investor group. The organisation operates across multiple sites and geographies and is entering a decisive phase of operational and financial transformation.

Build and run a transformation office with clear governance and cadence
Lead operational improvement initiatives across procurement, cost reduction, pricing, and performance management
Partner closely with IT to modernise ERP and core enterprise systems
Work alongside the CFO to strengthen financial consolidation, reporting, and data capabilities
Ensure value creation initiatives are tracked, delivered, and sustained
Act as a trusted partner to the CEO and leadership team, providing clarity and momentum

Background sought
Senior transformation leadership experience in complex organisations
Proven track record of hands on delivery rather than advisory only roles
Experience across consulting and private capital backed environments, combined with operational leadership inside a business
Comfortable operating on site, at pace, and with high accountability
