  • Strong experience in business services management, preferably overseeing multiple teams or departments
  • Confident leading teams across multiple functions, coaching and holding leaders accountable
  • Comfortable using AI, project management, and workflow tools (ClickUp, Asana, HubSpot, or similar)
  • Highly organised with attention to detail, while keeping the big picture in focus
  • A problem solver, solution-focused, calm under pressure, and always seeking improvements
  • Energetic, personable, and motivated to make a real impact on the business
