• Communicate effectively with executive and senior-level stakeholders to align strategies, gain support for project delivery, and provide clear operational reporting

• Act as a culture champion, fostering collaboration, excellence, and continuous improvement, and leading a small team to embed strong operational and project management disciplines across the organisation

What we're looking for

• Significant experience in a Chief of Staff, Product Operations, Strategy, or Programme Management leadership role, preferably within a B2B SaaS or technology environment
• Proven success in establishing and/or leading a Project/Programme Management function, including defining frameworks, processes, and governance
• Proven ability to design, implement, and optimise operational frameworks for product or technology teams
• Deep understanding of product development lifecycles with the ability to support technical delivery
