About the Company
As Director, Business Planning & Operations, you will be a senior operational leader at the centre of Evinova's Leadership Team - translating strategy into execution, driving AI-enabled operational efficiency, and raising the bar on how Evinova plans, communicates, and runs its business.

You will combine sharp analytical judgement, consulting-grade structure, and a refined eye for executive presentation to help Evinova scale. Accountabilities: Operational Transformation & AI Enablement: Identify, prioritize, and deliver AI-enabled operational efficiency across Evinova, including the design and deployment of AI agents and automation to streamline how the business runs. Operationalize AI adoption across functions, partnering with teams to embed new tools and ways of working into day-to-day operations.
