Commercial Operations & Performance Executive

We are working with a fantastic UK-based company that has been a leader in its field for 40 years. With a huge team of over 3,000 people, they are experts in providing essential soft facilities management services, specifically supporting the education sector.

They are now looking for a Commercial Operations & Performance Executive to join the team. This is a role for someone who is great with people and even better with a plan. If you enjoy looking at how a business is running, spotting where things could be better, and using performance data to help regional managers and supervisors deliver a great service, you’ll fit right in.

The Role

Working closely with the Commercial Director, you’ll be the go-to person for making sure everything is running perfectly across the company's accounts. You won't just be looking at numbers on a screen; you’ll be figuring out what those numbers actually mean for the teams out in the field. Your main goal is to find those "lightbulb moments" where a small change in a process can lead to a much better experience for the customer.

Key Responsibilities:

• Performance Analysis: Review and interpret regional data to track service delivery. You will identify trends and provide actionable insights to Regional Managers to help them optimise their accounts.
• Process Improvement: Critically evaluate current operational workflows. You will lead the charge in refining processes to boost efficiency and ensure consistent growth.
• KPI Management: Implement a performance-led culture by setting clear metrics and developing training programmes that ensure those targets are met.
• Customer Insight: Gather and analyse feedback to identify areas for improvement in the customer journey, working closely with internal departments to implement solutions.
• Account Engagement: Develop tailored engagement strategies and communication plans based on data insights to strengthen long-term client relationships.
• Supervision: Manage and support a part-time Customer Service Executive, ensuring their tasks align with the wider commercial strategy.

The Ideal Candidate

• You have a strong ability to interpret data and translate it into practical, operational improvements.
• You understand the mechanics of a service-based business and how field-staff performance impacts the bottom line.
• You have experience in driving change and are comfortable guiding teams through new ways of working.
• You are highly proficient in standard business software, particularly Excel, and are comfortable navigating CRM systems.
• You possess the ability to communicate complex findings clearly to stakeholders at all levels, from site supervisors to directors.

Benefits

• Hybrid Working: A balanced schedule with 2 days in the St. Albans office and 3 days working from home.
• Holiday: 28 days of holiday (including bank holidays) plus an additional day off for your birthday.
• Professional Development: Free access to an extensive E-Learning platform with over 40 professional courses.
• Wellbeing: Access to an online wellbeing platform and a paid annual volunteering day.
• Extras: Regular company events and free on-site parking.
