Lead a high-performing business. Shape what comes next.

We're partnering with a successful, privately owned business to appoint an Operations Director who can build on an already strong operational platform and help drive the next phase of growth.

This isn't a turnaround. It's an opportunity to make a great business even better.

Reporting directly to the CEO, you'll have responsibility for a complex, multi-site operation, leading operational strategy, developing high-performing teams, driving continuous improvement and identifying opportunities to leverage technology, improve efficiency and enhance customer service.

We're interested in exceptional operational leaders from sectors such as:

\n
• Logistics & Distribution
\n
• Food Manufacturing
\n
• High volume complex Manufacturing
\n
• Other fast-paced, multi-site operational environments
\n

What matters most is your ability to lead at an executive level, inspire people, deliver commercial results and bring fresh thinking without losing sight of what already works.

You'll be someone who:

\n
• Has a proven track record of leading large, complex operations.
\n
• Can balance strategic thinking with hands-on leadership.
\n
• Has delivered operational improvements, organisational change and productivity gains.
\n
• Leads with integrity, humility and emotional intelligence.
\n
• Thrives in entrepreneurial businesses where collaboration, pace and accountability are valued.
\n

This is a genuine opportunity to influence the direction of a successful business, working alongside an ambitious leadership team that values ideas, action and continuous improvement.
