The Role


The Operational Excellence Lead is accountable for all aspects of performance and service delivery management of the Global P&C Operations team to provide a customer-centric P&C operations service to all employees and people managers across the business, ensuring optimum service delivery is received at all times.

The role will encourage a culture of continuous improvement, using data to measure and monitor P&C Operations activities and service levels.


The role will report to the Head of P&C Operations and will work collaboratively with colleagues across the P&C function to contribute to the development of P&C Operations through active participation in department-wide initiatives, plans, policies, procedures, and strategy.


The Global P&C Operations team has been newly stood up further to a Global P&C transformation programme to redefine the overall P&C Operating Model and delivery across the global footprint.

The Service Performance Lead will therefore play an integral role in standing up the new Global P&C operations organisation (Regional Hubs & Spokes) in line with the transformation programme deployment plan, including the roll out of new global processes and leveraging of enhanced HR technology (Workday).


This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced individual to join a leading organisation going through a significant period of transformation.
