Leah Morton
@leahmorton1
Operations and compliance professional with 8+ years driving procurement, SLA/KPI performance, and process automation.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I’m an operations and compliance professional with 8+ years’ experience delivering operational excellence in fast-moving, fully remote environments. I independently own complex procurement and facilities workflows, balancing cost control, SLA/KPI performance, and stakeholder clarity.
In my current role, I manage procurement operations across 57+ suppliers within a £500k budget, handling SLA performance, contract negotiations, and cost control with minimal escalation. I identify gaps in procurement and facilities processes and lead centralisation initiatives—designing tracking systems that give real-time visibility across POs, spend, and supplier performance.
Previously at Experis, I scaled complex contract and compliance workflows across 15+ countries (EMEA, APAC, Americas), coordinating distributed teams while tracking terms, pricing, risk, and SLA/KPI performance. I reduced processing time by 50% through workflow redesign and built Excel automation tools that saved 10+ hours weekly.
I’m especially proud of my workflow redesign and automation mindset: I streamline handoffs, remove bottlenecks, and turn complex project statuses into concise leadership briefings. I also supported operational recovery and centralisation, improved onboarding and training across locations, and strengthened cross-cultural communication after relocating to Thailand.
