We are looking for an accomplished Mobilisation Director to lead the successful delivery of major contracts from award through to stable, high-performing operational delivery. This is a senior leadership role for someone who combines strong programme management with genuine customer presence, commercial judgement and the ability to inspire teams.

You will own mobilisation strategy and delivery across a portfolio of new contract wins, ensuring each transition is safe, compliant, well planned and delivered on time.

• Develop and deliver robust mobilisation plans, timetables, governance structures, readiness reviews and risk mitigation strategies.
• Build and maintain strong, credible relationships with clients, senior stakeholders, supply partners and internal leadership teams.
• Lead, coach and develop mobilisation and operational teams, creating a culture of accountability, collaboration and high standards.
• Ensure statutory, contractual and compliance requirements are met before service commencement.
• Act as the senior escalation point for customer, operational and implementation issues, resolving challenges quickly and professionally.
• Report progress, milestones, risks and performance to executive leadership and customers.
• Support continuous improvement and ensure each mobilisation strengthens the company’s reputation for delivery.

What we’re looking for

• Significant senior leadership experience in facilities management, workplace services, property services or a related outsourced services environment.
• A proven record of leading large-scale, complex mobilisations, ideally across multi-site portfolios.
• Outstanding customer relationship skills, with the credibility to engage confidently at board and client level.
• Strong people leadership, able to bring together cross-functional teams and deliver through others.
• Excellent planning, commercial awareness, risk management and problem-solving capability.
• Experience of compliance and operational readiness would be highly advantageous.
• Willingness to travel nationally as required.
