Business Manager

At Liberis, our mission is to empower small and medium-sized businesses by removing finance as a friction to growth, delivering contextual, embedded financial solutions to support merchants at every stage of their business lifecycle.

The Business Performance & Operations team sits at the heart of how Liberis delivers results. We define what performance means, turn it into a repeatable machine through clear goals and rituals, and raise the performance bar across the company - from individual contributors to the Executive Team.

As a Business Performance Manager , you will play a pivotal role in building and operating Liberis’ performance engine. You will co-create and lead the execution of company-wide performance rituals - from planning and goal setting through to reviews, communications, and outcomes - ensuring performance is visible, decisions are high quality, and action follows insight.

You will use performance data and insight to surface what’s working, what isn’t , and what needs to change - driving actions that raise standards at an individual, team, and company level. This will include partnering with, influencing, and at times challenging senior leaders to ensure accountability and follow-through.

As a member of the CEO Office , you will also support delivery of the CEO’s top priorities, particularly those related to internal performance, leadership cadence, and company-wide rituals.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution, is comfortable operating with senior leaders, and is motivated by building high-performing organisations.
