Our Client: 

We are supporting a major operational optimisation programme focused on improving how real-time network performance is monitored, interpreted and acted upon. This programme operates in a live, operational environment where monitoring, visibility and decision-making are critical.

The Role: 

You will act as a senior operational SME within a complex technology programme, ensuring monitoring solutions are practical, fit-for-purpose and successfully embedded into day-to-day operations.

Depending on your strengths, your focus may lean toward either:

Operational Visualisation and Insight
  • Shaping real-time dashboards and monitoring capability
  • Translating frontline operational needs into actionable requirements
  • Supporting solution validation, assessments and pilot activities
  • Ensuring tools enhance situational awareness and response capability
Programme Delivery and Operational Embedment
  • Supporting structured testing and validation activities
  • Coordinating user acceptance processes across stakeholder groups
  • Identifying operational risks and driving early mitigation
  • Supporting go-live planning and transition into sustainable BAU ownership
  • Working alongside change and readiness teams to ensure capability uplift
Across both streams, you will operate as a bridge between operational teams and technology delivery, ensuring outcomes align with real-world network performance needs.

Key Requirements: 
  • 5+ years’ experience in operational technology, product ownership, programme delivery or senior business analysis
  • Experience working in real-time or monitoring-driven environments
  • Exposure to infrastructure-heavy sectors such as transport, utilities, telecommunications or similar
  • Confidence operating across multiple stakeholder groups
  • Strong risk awareness and structured delivery capability
  • Advanced Microsoft Office proficiency
Experience with monitoring platforms, operational dashboards or Intelligent Transport Systems is advantageous but not essential if you bring strong adjacent experience.

Why This Role:

This is not a pure digital product role. It sits in a live operational environment where performance, visibility and responsiveness matter.

You will have genuine influence over how monitoring capability is designed, validated and embedded into operations.

If you enjoy working in structured, high-stakes environments where technology directly impacts operational outcomes, this is worth exploring. Apply Today!
