We're on the look out for an Interim Operations Director to join us for a period of up to 9 months to own the delivery of a key project. You'll join us to provide strategic and operational leadership for the delivery of Planet Mark’s carbon measurement and analytics services.

- Own the evolution of systems, data requirements and operational workflows that underpin carbon measurement, translating complex methodologies and standards into scalable, product-led solutions.
- Be responsive to Planet Mark’s carbon data and measurement approaches, overseeing data quality, governance, audit readiness and alignment with relevant reporting standards and methodologies.
- Partner closely with Product and Engineering teams to identify platform requirements that drive system adoption, and reduce operational risk through automation, tooling and process design.
- Deliver the means for the development of analytics and insights that enable decision-making across value chains, sectors and portfolios, informed by high-quality operational and emissions data.
- Line management responsibility for the Operations teams consisting of carbon consultants and data analysts.

- Exceptional cross functional collaboration, communication and stakeholder management skills at senior levels.
- Demonstrated ability to build, lead and develop high performing teams with clear accountability, coaching and performance management.
- Analytical, structured and solutions focused thinker with the ability to design scalable operating models and navigate ambiguity.
