Working closely with the Performance Insight Lead (Operations) and other internal teams, you’ll ensure performance is accurately assessed and clearly communicated across the business, to customers, and to external stakeholders.

• Generate performance insight reports to support decision-making and improvement initiatives.
• Monitor the delivery and impact of performance improvement plans.
• Work collaboratively across departments to understand operational challenges.

• Skilled in Microsoft Excel and familiar with Microsoft 365 tools.
• Excellent written, verbal, and presentation skills.
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail.
• Able to work collaboratively and independently.
• Self-motivated with a continuous improvement mindset.
