  • Contract ownership: Oversee complex service contracts, ensuring compliance with SLAs, KPIs, and driving successful renewals.
  • Cross-functional collaboration: Partner with sales, operations, and engineering to deliver seamless, integrated solutions.
  • Financial leadership: Own the P&L, budgeting, and forecasting for your region, ensuring financial targets are met or exceeded.
  • Continuous improvement: Champion innovation and smarter ways of working, leveraging data and feedback to refine service delivery.

What We Look For

  • Strong operational mindset with a hands-on approach to leadership and problem-solving.
  • Strategic thinker with the ability to translate business goals into actionable plans.
