Strategic Innovation Lead, Operations

Remote (UK)
Our take: The real work here is turning rough ideas into fast experiments, proving what genuinely improves customer experience, and scaling the winners across a large operations function.
If you light up at a blank page and a messy problem, this is a zero-to-one seat where you take a rough idea, turn it into a real experiment, and prove whether it makes customers' lives better. You will move fast, decide from evidence, and work shoulder to shoulder with frontline ops, data science and product to scale what works and kill what does not. It suits someone who would rather ship a scrappy test this week than perfect a plan for a month.
