Chief Operating Officer

Reporting directly to the Chief Executive, this role provides executive leadership for service quality, patient safety, operational performance, and financial delivery. The COO will be accountable not only for operational grip and performance recovery, but also for the success of the transformation programme that will underpin Sirona's future.

Candidates will be able to demonstrate a strong track record of rapid and sustainable performance improvement, and will relish the opportunity to work as a key colleague of an ambitious and determined CEO. You must show that you understand the relationship between productivity, performance and waiting lists, and that you can maintain a clear and consistent focus on improvement. Experience of effective and active engagement with commissioners, as well as an understanding of the range of funding formulas and contracting mechanisms, will be essential. And you must bring a nuanced and practical understanding of how to adapt operating models to different community contexts.

We're looking for evidence of energy, tenacity, and the ability to engage the whole workforce in building a positive culture of collective self-improvement under a 'One Sirona' banner. If you can show that you understand how to translate organisational strategy into measurable outcomes across all key domains - operational, workforce, quality and financial - as well as deftly managing the twin imperatives of sustaining high performance and driving strategic transformation, this will be a career-changing role.
