Regional Director of Operations, UK, Europe and Africa

Job description

Regional Director of Operations, UK, Europe and Africa Kenyon International Emergency Services, part of the TrustFlight Group Bracknell, United Kingdom | Full time, permanent | Competitive salary and benefits package When the worst happens, families need someone they can trust. Lead that response. When an aircraft is lost, a ship is in distress or a community is struck by disaster, families are suddenly facing the hardest days of their lives.

About Kenyon Kenyon provides emergency planning, family assistance, humanitarian support and recovery services to clients around the world, drawing on a network of more than 2,500 trained responders who can be mobilised at short notice into any jurisdiction.

Kenyon is part of the TrustFlight Group, an aviation safety and compliance technology business. That gives Kenyon something unusual in this sector: a world class technology team working alongside it, and a genuine commitment to using AI to make crisis response faster, better informed and more humane.

You will lead the Bracknell hub, with regional accountability for operational delivery, readiness, contracted offices and relationships across the UK, Europe and Africa. Your peer, the Regional Director of Operations in Vancouver, leads the Americas and Asia Pacific. Together you share accountability for the readiness and quality of Kenyon’s response worldwide.
