The Performance Manager acts as the UKI SPOC and Performance Rhythm Lead for operational performance across North Europe. The role drives market-level performance reviews, connects local performance data with regional standards, and turns KPI reporting into clear, action-driven insights.

- Produce clear KPI insights that go beyond reporting and support action planning, prioritisation, and performance follow-up.
- Build, improve, and maintain analytical tools to support productivity, waste reduction, and operational performance deep dives.

- Identify performance gaps, root causes, and improvement opportunities, translating findings into practical initiatives.
- Ensure timely and high-quality data preparation for CBU KPI dashboards, GPS inputs, and L8 consolidation.
