This is a data-led leadership role for someone who thrives on turning complex operational data into clear commercial outcomes. We’re looking for a Senior Operations Manager who is as comfortable in SQL and dashboards as they are leading teams and shaping strategy.
The role
You’ll lead multiple critical operational teams — Admin & Appeals, Analysis, Faults and Data — owning the end-to-end ticketing lifecycle from data capture through to dispute resolution. This role sits at the intersection of operations, data, and transformation, with real influence at senior leadership level.
Key responsibilities
Lead and develop high-performing operational and analytical teams across the full Ticketing lifecycle.
Take full accountability for operational delivery, compliance, and performance against monthly business targets.
Define, own, and deliver company-wide KPIs, revenue targets, and performance metrics in partnership with senior leadership.
Build and maintain robust forecasting and performance models, using advanced Excel, SQL, and Power BI to predict volumes, resource needs, and financial impact.
Act as a key driver in technology and systems transformation, ensuring operational workflows are optimised and scalable.
Produce clear, insightful board-level reporting, translating complex data into actionable commercial strategy.
What we’re looking for
Proven leadership experience in a ticketing, collections, enforcement, or similarly data-intensive operational environment.
Strong SQL capability — you should be comfortable querying data, validating performance metrics, and supporting decision-making directly from source data.
Highly data-driven, with a track record of improving performance through insight, analysis, and automation.
Experience working closely with senior stakeholders and presenting to executive and investor audiences.
Confident leading change in fast-moving, performance-focused environments.
Why join
This is an opportunity to take ownership of a mission-critical, data-heavy operation within a growing organisation that values insight, accountability, and continuous improvement. You’ll have real influence, autonomy, and the chance to shape how data drives operational success.
If you’re a hands-on, data-focused leader who understands SQL and enjoys operating at both strategic and operational levels, we’d love to hear from you.
