Are you ready to take full ownership of operational performance and be the driving force behind a high-growth, well-established business? We’re seeking an ambitious, commercially astute Operations Manager to oversee and elevate all operational functions – from customer service and logistics to procurement, supply chain, quality, technical, warehouse, and potentially production in the future.
This is not a “desk only” role – you’ll be hands-on, implementing robust systems and processes, championing efficiency, and shaping a culture of continuous improvement. We’re looking for someone with fire in their belly – an individual who doesn’t just want a job, but this role in this business. If you thrive in operational management, enjoy rolling up your sleeves, and are motivated by making a tangible difference, this is your opportunity.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Lead and inspire Customer Success, Purchasing, and Warehouse teams.
* Take complete responsibility for stock, procurement, and supply chain operations.
* Drive operational improvements and champion Lean principles.
* Manage ERP systems, integrations, and process enhancements.
* Recruit, induct, train, and develop high-performing teams.
* Oversee multi-channel logistics, including 3PL partnerships.
* Act as a brand ambassador, adopting a culture-first mindset.
* Ensure compliance with laws, regulations, and Health & Safety requirements.
* Deliver strong financial performance through budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.
Requirements
* 3+ years in a similar senior operational role.
* Proven ability to lead change in a high-growth environment.
* Strong Lean methodology knowledge and application.
* Experienced with ERP, CRM, and web integrations.
* Track record in managing supply chain, stock, and procurement at scale.
* Excellent communication, organisation, and leadership skills.
* Commercially sharp, with strong data analysis capabilities.
* A proactive problem-solver with resilience and drive.
* Full UK driving licence.
* Bonus points for experience in the construction sector, plumbing, heating, or electrics.
Benefits
* Join a well-established, respected business with ambitious growth plans.
* Clear opportunity for career progression as the business expands.
* 25 days holiday plus bank holidays.
* Workplace pension.
* Laptop provided.
* The chance to play a pivotal role in achieving a bold five-year vision for significant market share.
