Quarterly Planning Support

About this task

This mobility company in car subscriptions (51–200 employees) is looking for a director Operations Manager for a monthly bundle of recurring tasks, 10–20 h a month. Helps leadership set quarterly goals and track them.

A named list of recurring items keeps the month predictable for both sides. It is an automotive business with long programme cycles and a strong paper trail.

The company prefers a person who can come to Plano for kickoff and the final review; the rest is remote. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected.

What you deliver

• Facilitate quarterly planning for five teams, turn goals into owners and measures and set up the weekly check.
• A month-end summary with hours used against the cap
• A running log of open questions, reviewed at the start of each week
• The monthly list of items completed, each with a link to the result

What a month looks like

• Start of month: the company shares the items and the priorities
• Mid-month: progress check of 15 minutes
• Month end: hours used against the cap, results and open items

Duration: 8 weeks, with a monthly hours cap. Accepted on the company's written OK. If something is missed, you fix it in the same week at no extra charge to either side.
