You'll be a seasoned operator, with experience articulating and driving operational excellence for consumer products.

You'll be an effective communicator, capable of managing a range of internal and external stakeholders.
Some of the things you'll be doing:

• Building and optimising scalable processes, that are clearly defined and documented
• Analysing operational performance, defining appropriate monitoring metrics and understanding the root cause of sub-optimal processes
• Management vendors: both monitoring non-financial performance and metrics, and escalation of issues
• Owning and delivering non-technical projects, and supporting Product Owners and VPs to manage cross-functional technical projects
• Working with the VP Business Services on functional strategy and planning

What you'll get in return:

• Competitive salary
• Self & Family Health Insurance
• Term & Life Insurance
• Special Dental Allowance
• Learning & Development Budget
• 25 Annual leaves
• Family & Friendly Leaves
• Stock Options

You'll be a great fit if:

• You have 7+ years' experience in a fast-paced environment, with at least 2 years in leading operational excellence for consumer products, as a Senior Operations Manager, Head of Operations or similar.
• You have worked in the Financial Services sector with exposure to various dimensions of regulatory compliance and risk management including Anti-Money Laundering Laws, Know-your-customer and credit risk. Candidates with Merchant acquiring experience is a plus.
• You are organised, systematic and able to manage team members whilst delivering on multiple pieces of work at the same time.
• You enjoy working with data and are fluent in business analytical tools: Excel, SQL and Looker; and have a good understanding of RESTful APIs and web services.
• You are logical, and see data as a crucial part of decision-making, but know when to stop analysing and start acting.
• You are resilient, willing to spend the time it takes to discover where a problem lies and not stop until it's solved.
• You are okay with ambiguity, and enjoy working in a complex, technical industry.
• You're a capable communicator: able to get into the details troubleshooting an issue with a technical team one moment, and communicating your work to senior audiences in another.
• You have graduated with a STEM/Economics/Finance degree; previous experience in an analytical role (Consulting, Banking) is advantageous.
