Description

Location: Hybrid (Home, London Bridge office, and regular travel to sites across Greater London and Surrey) 

The Mission: To transform past industry practises through people-first leadership, sustainability, and cutting-edge technology

What You Will Achieve in the Next 12 MonthsWithin 3 Months: Visibility and Standard Setting
  • Portfolio Integration: You will have established a weekly rhythm that balances 60% office-based strategic oversight with 40% on-site presence across the portfolio

  • The "First 90" Audit Sprint: You will have personally visited every site to conduct face-to-face audits, establishing a clear "Stolt Baseline" for quality, safety, and cleaner performance

  • Operational Groundwork: You will lead the seamless onboarding of new contracts, ensuring cleaners are trained, equipment is site-ready, and the "Day 1" experience for the client is flawless

Within 6 Months: Performance and Hub Management
  • Field Leadership and Auditing: You will have implemented a rigorous auditing cycle, ensuring cleaners are well-managed, checked regularly, and supported through formal performance feedback

  • The Central Point of Contact: By embedding daily support channels, you will act as the primary liaison for cleaners, suppliers, and customers, resolving issues and implementing preventative methods at scale

  • The Feedback Loop: Through quarterly business reviews (QBRs) and transparent audit data, you will have turned client feedback into actionable training for the on-site teams

  • Profit through Efficiency: By optimising rotas and supply chains from the "control room," you will have achieved measurable improvements in site-level profit margins

Within 12 Months: Excellence at Scale
  • The Gold Standard: You will have achieved a 95%+ Audit Pass Rate across the entire portfolio, evidenced by data-driven reporting that we can show to prospective clients

  • Compliance Mastery: Health and Safety will be second nature; you will have a 100% compliance record on training, COSHH, and site-specific risk assessments

  • Expansion Catalyst: With a stable, well-managed operational core, you will have successfully scaled operations into new regions, proving that Stolt’s "progressive" model works at any volume

Why You Are the Right Fit

  • Balanced Leadership: You are comfortable moving between "Control Room" mode (60%)—analysing data and managing the big picture—and "On-Site" mode (40%)—conducting audits and mentoring teams

  • Problem Solver at Scale: You don't just fix a problem once; you identify the root cause and implement a process to prevent it from happening across the rest of the business

  • Quality Obsessive: You understand that "what gets measured gets done" and take pride in maintaining high standards through regular, rigorous site checks

  • High-Ownership Grit: You thrive in an environment where you are given the autonomy to solve problems, even if that means the occasional evening or weekend to ensure a launch goes perfectly

The Package
  • Competitive Salary

  • Generous Shares Package: We want you to have skin in the game as we grow

  • Pension
