Operational Excellence Lead

About this role

ABOUT BJAK

The original mission of BJAK is that we believe people deserve smarter ways to plan, save and grow their money. This is the origin of our name.

Started in 2019, we built the first mobile-first, insurance platform, enabling insurance to be accessible online by millions in the region. Today, it's the leading insurance platform in Southeast Asia.

Today, we are expanding ways to help people in the region, including spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling, and more. Our mission is help people get more from their money every day.

We have teams working around the world, with over 20 nationalities from our offices and remotely, who truly enjoys their work. We are looking for the most talented and driven people we can find. We are looking for people who work for their passion, not counting hours. Who loves building great next-generation products, not status quo. Who cares about redefining how everyone around us can get the best financial applications, not for an exclusive few.

If you're this person, we'd love to talk to you.

THE ROLE

The Operational Excellence Lead – UK owns the operational backbone of BJAK's UK business. You'll make sure daily operations, internal systems, and customer-facing execution run smoothly, efficiently, and at a standard that supports scale.

This is not a P&L role, and it's not a "manage from a distance" role either. You'll partner closely with the CEO to turn business objectives into strong execution on the ground, building systems, leading teams, and stepping in directly when execution breaks.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Define and execute operational strategies that support growth and align with BJAK's objectives in the UK market.

• Run day-to-day operations across customer service, administrative operations, and internal workflows so execution stays frictionless.

• Hire, lead, and develop a high-performing operations and admin team with a strong culture of ownership and accountability.
