Monitor and support the performance of third-party operators (partners), supporting contract reviews with evidence-based assessments of delivery and compliance.
Benchmark performance across regions, competitors, asset types, suppliers, and operators to identify internal guideline and external innovation that can be scaled across the network.
Support Marketing, Network Optimization, and Business Development teams to develop customer acquisition strategies, channel growth strategies, and assess effectiveness.
Support Site Acquisition teams in developing site selection strategies, governance, and investment strategy decisions.
What you will need to be successful
Proven experience in asset performance, commercial operations, network optimization, reliability, commercial operations, or a related field.
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex performance trends and influence action at senior levels.
Strong ability to translate operational, technical, and financial data into clear insights, decisions, and performance improvement plans.
Experience defining and managing KPIs, SLAs, governance routines, performance thresholds, and corrective action plans.
Demonstrated capability in root cause analysis, problem solving, and continuous improvement within a complex operational environment.
Strong commercial competence, with the ability to connect asset performance, customer impact, cost-to-serve, gross margin, utilisation, and return on investment.
Experience working with cross-functional teams, including engineering, operations, finance, commercial, HSSE, procurement, suppliers, and senior stakeholders.
Advanced analytical capability, including experience with dashboards and data visualisation tools such as Power BI or similar platforms, SQL, and Python
