To act as a senior process and productivity authority within the 6-month Vodafone IoT Productivity programme, leading deep dive reviews of functional productivity plans, priority end-to-end, cross functional processes to identify and deliver measurable productivity improvements. The role will simplify how work gets done across Vodafone IoT by creating a clear framework for process improvement and removing barriers to execution, reducing handoffs, leveraging automation and AI, and embedding repeatable productivity disciplines that can be scaled beyond the pilot. This role will bring a strong process and simplicity perspective to the team, facilitating the integration of digital tools and modern workflows, driving simplification efforts, and be tenacious in delivering operational efficiency and driving increased productivity.
Job Responsibility:
Lead end-to-end process diagnostics across 2–3 priority, cross functional IoT value streams (e.g. customer onboarding, order-to-cash, incident resolution, commercial deal flow)
Apply structured productivity and process improvement methodologies (e.g. Lean, Six Sigma, value stream mapping) to identify bottlenecks, duplication, rework and nonvalue adding activity
Quantify productivity opportunities using agreed IoT productivity measures (e.g. time saved, cost-to-serve reduction, handoff reduction, automation potential)
Design and implement practical, test and learn improvements in partnership with business owners (process simplification, RACI and role clarity, automation, AI enablement)
Act as a subject matter expert on process excellence, coaching leaders and teams on productivity thinking and continuous improvement
Partner closely with Technology, Finance, HR, Sales and Operations to ensure solutions are scalable, measurable and sustainable
Track benefits realisation and provide clear, executive ready updates to the IoT Leadership Team
Produce repeatable playbooks, standards and artefacts to enable wider rollout beyond the 6-month programme
Requirements:
