Operations Development Lead Hybrid: 3 days Milton Keynes Office £70,000 - £80,000
Our client is a leading asset leasing and fleet solutions provider that is strengthening its group transformation capability as it continues to scale across multiple sectors and markets. This role has been created to bridge central strategy and operational delivery, ensuring improvement initiatives are not only designed at group level but successfully embedded across regional businesses and operational teams.
You’ll play a pivotal role in translating strategic priorities into practical change — supporting initiatives across areas such as operational performance, asset utilisation, process improvement and commercial optimisation.
The business entered an exciting new phase following the backing of a large global private equity investor, bringing significant backing to accelerate its growth and transformation agenda. With new investment focused on operational excellence, digital capability and international expansion, the organisation is building out its central transformation function to help drive performance improvements across the group.
