This role sits at the intersection of operations, governance and compliance, with responsibility for overseeing standards across a portfolio of rental and fleet partners.


Key responsibilities include:

  • Leading and evolving standards, policies and codes of conduct across the rental network
  • Overseeing a national audit & inspection programme (~240 audits annually)
  • Reviewing audit findings, identifying trends and driving continuous improvement initiatives
  • Engaging with partner organisations to ensure standards are commercially viable and operationally effective

  • Experience at a regional, area or senior operations level
  • A deep understanding of commercial drivers within rental or fleet businesses
  • Experience managing teams, performance, and operational delivery
  • The ability to translate operational insight into governance, standards and best practice


Exposure to compliance, audit or regulatory frameworks would be advantageous, but is not essential.
