Team Leadership & People Development



  • Lead and develop a team of Operations Analysts through regular 1:1s, team check-ins, and coaching.

  • Support team members in partner management, project delivery, and continuous improvement.

  • Collaborate with the People team on hiring, onboarding, and training initiatives.



Partner & Supplier Management



  • Act as the main regional contact for key suppliers (laundry, cleaning, gas, real estate, etc.).

  • Lead procurement and negotiations when needed, and assess supplier performance to ensure SLA compliance and drive improvements.



Process Optimization & Strategic Projects



  • Lead strategic initiatives like depot openings, relocations, and fleet projects.

  • Continuously improve processes for speed, cost-efficiency, and consistency, using data and insights to evolve standards and playbooks.


 


Cross-Functional Collaboration & Reporting



  • Act as a bridge between central and local teams, ensuring effective communication and alignment.

  • Collaborate with functional departments to resolve blockers and improve regional performance.

  • Provide regular updates on performance, risks, and opportunities to regional and strategy leadership.


 


WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?


We’re seeking a structured, action-oriented leader with a proven track record in operational execution and people management. The ideal candidate will have:



  • 6 to 8 years of experience in operations, logistics, supply chain, or project management, ideally with multi-site exposure.

  • 2 to 5 years of experience managing teams, including performance management and coaching.

  • Strong background in supplier/partner management and procurement.

  • Proficiency in analyzing and acting on operational KPIs and dashboards.

  • Excellent organizational and multitasking skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities in a fast-paced environment.

  • A practical, solution-oriented mindset with a focus on execution.
