Reporting to: VP Product & Operations About Paloma Paloma's mission is to make children's autism and ADHD assessments and care available on the NHS within 4 weeks of GP referral. We believe the NHS can offer quick access to these services, and Paloma is achieving this by redesigning care pathways, developing new software & AI tools, and investing in clinicians' learning & development.

Our in-house product & engineering team ensures we can: Give families a more consumer-like experience of healthcare Free our clinicians from documentation to focus on supporting families Our strong culture, including transparency, a sense of community, and supporting staff career development The experience of our founders (Dr Mark Jenkins & Darshak Shah), who have previously built tech-enabled NHS obesity and ophthalmology services. Combined, their previous companies have treated over 1 million NHS patients in the last 15 years!

You know how to motivate and develop managers who, in turn, manage our Delivery Team, Care Coordinators, Scheduling, Safeguarding and Governance Teams You thrive at scale: Managing a rapidly growing team of over 80 people doesn't intimidate you; you have the organisational skills to keep a large workforce aligned and productive, and are excited to grow the team significantly more. You are a systems thinker: You see how a change in scheduling impacts care delivery, and how an update in governance affects the Care Coordination Team. You manage the "ripple effects." You are operationally rigorous: You thrive on metrics and KPIs. You use data to identify capacity bottlenecks or potential safeguarding risks before they become issues. You are empathetic but decisive: You understand the high-stakes nature of healthcare and can make calm, authoritative decisions that balance patient safety with operational speed. You are adaptable: You are comfortable working in a dynamic environment and embrace the fast-paced change of a growing organisation. You are mission-driven: You are genuinely excited about using technology and innovation to solve the NHS waiting list crisis.

Responsibilities: Oversee the integrated Operations function, including: Providing strategic direction to the managers of Delivery, Scheduling & Capacity, Safeguarding, and Governance. Represent the Operations function at a senior level and work cross-functionally with relevant function leads. Maintain accountability for the function's performance and culture. This includes: Building relationships and data dashboards (with our Business Intelligence Team) to help you identify operational red flags and address them before they impact service delivery. Building a culture of continuous learning, mentoring your direct reports to become the next generation of senior leaders at Paloma. Ongoing optimisation and refinement of operational processes together with the relevant teams and stakeholders, for example: Administrative processes, e.g. NHS GP referral processing Defining the strategic "math" of the service, ensuring you always know the demand forecast and manage scheduling/hiring to meet NHS targets while maintaining staff well-being. Ensuring our safeguarding protocols are deeply embedded in every team member's daily workflows. Develop robust structures, documentation, processes and communication loops to: Grow the team without losing quality or culture. Ensure a 'single source of truth' for all operational workstreams documentation Maintain and implement high-quality policies for complaints, contested outcomes, and quality assurance. Qualifications and experience: Required: At least 7 years of operational leadership experience, specifically in environments with high headcount and complex delivery requirements (e.g., health or other large-scale service operations). Proven experience overseeing multi-tiered teams (managing 5+ direct reports who each manage their own large teams). Advanced experience in managing capacity and scheduling for a large, varied workforce. A track record of "productising" operations-taking a growing service and building the robust structures needed to support 100+ staff members. Demonstrable experience of a commercial mindset, meeting financial targets, understanding trade-offs within budgets, and managing team budgets. A proven ability to balance high-level strategy with a "lead from the front" mentality, diving into the details to solve problems on the ground. Proven experience in being data-driven with decisions, prioritisation, and comfortable providing detailed updates to wider stakeholders at all levels of the business. Experience managing a mixed team of clinical and non-clinical staff Experience leading a large team through periods of rapid organisational change, e.g. a fast-paced startup/scaleup environment where roles and processes evolve quickly. Experience in Data Protection and Data Protection Officer responsibilities Studies have shown that women and people from ethnic minority groups are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every qualification. Paloma is dedicated to building a diverse and top performing workplace, so if you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align with all the qualifications, we strongly encourage you to apply. You may be just the right candidate for this role or others! You will be part of a mission driven organisation that's transforming access to autism and ADHD care in England. For all employees, we offer: A strong and positive culture that prioritises staff well being, transparency, and career development.
