A globally distributed data and AI consulting firm is looking to hire a brand current role in a Director of Operations & People to own how the business runs day to day and how it scales next.

This is a hands‑on operator role. The mandate is straightforward: take the CEO’s vision and turn it into execution through robust operating rhythms, clear systems, and disciplined follow‑through.

The Role

Turning strategy into practical, scalable operating systems
Driving company‑wide execution, cadence, and accountability
Designing organisational structure, role clarity, and performance frameworks
Embedding people and culture through how the business operates
Owning core operations, governance, and multi‑region coordination

This role is about making things happen, not managing large teams and will include regular international travel, working closely with teams across multiple regions.
