Director of Operations

learndirect Limited

As Director of Operations, I successfully led the customer service, admin, delivery, including Heads of Faculties and tutors, and content creation teams. Having oversight of such a breadth of the business allowed me to unify our processes and communications into a seamless flow, improving productivity, user experience and employment engagement. Removal of the dependence on spreadsheets and manual processes and moving towards a more digitalised automated business allowed a significant increase in customer base without increasing resource requirements. I was also responsible for the relationship management of our awarding organisations ensuring we were adhering to the Quality Framework.
