The Opportunity

As the Business Improvement Lead, you'll lead a structured end-to-end improvement program across Commercial Operations, ensuring initiatives are prioritised, governed and delivered in line with enterprise process standards and business objectives.

Working as the Commercial Operations representative within our Process Centre of Excellence (CoE) hub-and-spoke model, you'll identify process pain points, drive continuous improvement initiatives, and help shape how our sales and operational teams work together in the future.

You will act as the bridge between strategy and execution, partnering with leaders across Sales, Operations, Systems, Enablement and Delivery teams to translate operational challenges into scalable, sustainable solutions that improve customer and employee outcomes.

What You'll Be Responsible for

A key focus of the Business Improvement Lead will be supporting the Vocus integration journey, helping teams navigate dual systems, evolving processes and changing operational structures. You'll establish a clear intake and triage process for improvement opportunities, maintain a visible improvement backlog, and work closely with Sales Mission teams to turn operational insights into strategic initiatives.

Operating as a senior individual contributor, you'll influence stakeholders at all levels of the business while building strong relationships across Sales, Commercial Operations, Delivery, Technology and the Process CoE.

Other responsibilities include;

• Own and run the Commercial Operations Business Improvement Program from intake and prioritisation through to delivery and benefit realisation.
• Identify, analyse and resolve inefficient or broken processes across the sales and service delivery lifecycle.
• Facilitate workshops and process reviews to map current state processes, identify root causes, and design future-state solutions.
• Apply structured improvement methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma and Human-Centred Design to deliver measurable outcomes.
• Partner with Sales Support, Sales, Operations and Technology teams to streamline quoting, contract creation, order management and service activation processes.
• Manage and maintain an improvement backlog, ensuring visibility of priorities, progress, risks and outcomes.
• Navigate complexity across dual systems and integrated business environments, identifying opportunities for process rationalisation and simplification.
• Drive adoption of new processes, tools and ways of working through training, enablement and continuous feedback mechanisms.
• Define and track success measures including process performance, SLA adherence, operational efficiency and realised business benefits.
• Translate operational challenges into well-defined initiatives that contribute to the Sales Mission backlog and strategic delivery roadmap.
• Champion a culture of operational excellence, continuous improvement and data-driven decision making.
