Role Purpose The Team Lead is the day-to-day head of operations for Adroit Solutions Ltd and is accountable for turning the MD’s direction and the company's strategy into coordinated departmental execution. The role integrates Sales, Delivery, Finance, and HR & Administration so that growth, cash, client delivery, people development, and operational discipline move together rather than in silos.

Maintain a single cross-functional action tracker covering revenue, delivery, cash, people, risks, and improvement work. Drive disciplined use of dashboards so management decisions are based on facts, not assumptions. 3.2 Revenue, pipeline, and commercial leadership Review the sales pipeline weekly with the Sales Lead, challenge stage quality, unblock proposals, and accelerate strategic opportunities. Ensure there is a practical link between sales promises, delivery capacity, pricing discipline, and cash collection plans. Review discounts, margins, implementation effort estimates, and commercial risks before material commitments are made. Support key bids, strategic client pursuits, and final negotiations where executive presence is required. 3.3 Delivery performance and client outcomes Review project health weekly with the Delivery Lead and Project Administration function, focusing on milestones, scope control, profitability, utilisation, documentation quality, and client escalations. Ensure project recovery plans are in place for every red or amber project, with named owners and daily/weekly checkpoints until stabilised.
