    Commercial and financial stewardship
    • Work alongside the CEO and finance team to shape annual budgets, forecasts, and business models that support scalable growth.
    • Monitor financial performance across divisions and implement cost-optimisation strategies.
    • Negotiate key commercial agreements, supply contracts, and service-level partnerships.
    • Support funding initiatives, investment cases, and business plan presentations where required.

    People and culture
    • Represent and reinforce the CEO’s vision and leadership ethos across the business.
    • Promote a culture of accountability, teamwork, safety, and service excellence.
    • Mentor and empower operations managers and team leaders to enhance organisational capability.
    • Ensure effective communication and alignment between operational teams and executive leadership.

    • Relevant qualification, diploma or degree in Business, Transport Management, Engineering, or a related discipline; MBA advantageous.
    • Proven track record in driving operational efficiency, business growth, and financial performance.
    • Deep understanding of fleet operations, including maintenance planning, asset lifecycle management, fuel optimisation, and safety compliance.
    • Strong financial literacy and commercial negotiation skills.
    • Excellent leadership, analytical, and strategic planning abilities.
    • Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-scaling environment.

    Competencies
