A day in the life of an Ascent General Manager...
As the General Manager for our Rotary Wing (RW) services, you will be fully accountable to the Operations Director for the management of a business with annual revenues exceeding £50m, £500m of operational assets under management, and over 100 direct and in-direct employees.
You will:
* Provide exceptional levels of leadership – ensuring alignment with the wider business strategy, developing high performing and cognitively diverse teams, and staff development.
* Drive high levels of operational performance – maximise variable ‘performance-based’ revenues through effective operations management, driving efficiencies and productivity.
* Maximise financial performance – take full P&L responsibility, ensure effective cost control, risk management, and grow revenues through effective change management and adjacent markets.
* Manage and collaborate with key stakeholders – work collaboratively with key customer, strategic suppliers, and end-user representatives to drive ‘win-win’ outcomes.
What will make you successful
You will already have experience in senior leadership roles with full P&L accountability and will have a track record of delivering complex operations or services in a highly regulated commercial environment (Aviation beneficial but not essential).
You will also:
* Have high levels of business acumen and focus – (strategy, operations management, finance, commercial and contracts, supply chains, and risk management).
* Have a proven capacity for leading businesses and teams to achieve consistent high levels of performance and engagement, aligned with core business strategy.
* Have proven track-record of stakeholder management and effective collaboration to create win-win outcomes at senior levels with strategic customers and suppliers.
* Take accountability and build effective, productive, and happy teams.
* Have strong customer services skills – a passion for exceeding their expectations and working in a true partnership.
* Be comfortable working in a balanced matrix organisational structure.
