The Role:

The Continuous Improvement Leader will be a central figure in enabling strategic growth through change and improvement across all areas of our business. The leader will play a pivotal role in aligning our strategic goals with our day-to-day operations and will work closely with all members of the leadership team and especially the COO, to implement technical and operational and performance improvements.

What will you be doing?

  • Development of an integrated plan which translates the strategic objectives of the business into tangible and specific actions which are to be deployed throughout the business.
