People deserve tech and lifestyle products that are fit for purpose, perform as promised, and empower them to be their best. That’s why we’re building the go-to brand for products that genuinely deliver. For over 10 years, we’ve pushed product performance to its limits, designing from first principles, validating through real-world testing, and investing millions in R&D. In parallel, we’ve built world-class in-house marketing capabilities, creating highly engaging, performance-led content that proves what our products can do and resonates with a passionate, fast-growing community around the brand. From throwing phones off dams to launching category-defining products, our ambition is simple: raise the standard of the industry and build one of the most effective consumer brands in the world. 👨‍💻 About the Role Operations is the engine that turns Mous ideas into products in customers’ hands around the world. As we scale, the quality of our decisions, and the speed we execute them, matters more than ever. As Head of Operations Performance you will work closely with the COO to bring clarity to how Operations performs and where we should focus to improve it. You will define the KPIs that matter, strengthen performance reporting, and turn complex operational data into clear insight that helps leaders make better decisions. Just as importantly, you will help turn insight into action. Working with leaders across supply chain, logistics, production, procurement, quality and customer experience, you will identify improvement opportunities and support the delivery of high-impact initiatives. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving real operational problems and improving how organisations perform. 👋 About You You are an analytical operator who brings structure and clarity to complex situations.

You work confidently with senior stakeholders, asking direct questions and challenging assumptions when needed. At the same time, you stay pragmatic and collaborative, focused on helping teams move forward. You are comfortable in ambiguity. When problems are unclear, you define them, prioritise what matters, and drive momentum. Most importantly, you take ownership. You follow problems through to resolution and leave teams and processes in a stronger, more effective state. 🔑 Key Responsibilities: Build performance clarity across Operations Define and evolve the KPI framework that measures operational performance across supply chain, logistics, production, procurement, quality and CX. Turn data into operational decisions Translate complex operational data into clear insights that inform priorities, highlight risks, and guide leadership decisions.

Deliver cross-functional initiatives Structure and support complex operational projects from planning through to delivery, ensuring improvements are embedded into day-to-day operations.
