2. Drive transformational change, further embedding automation, streamlining workflows, and ensuring operational scalability.
3. Deliver operational excellence, implementing best practices, KPI-driven performance management, and data-led decision-making.
4. Enhance workforce productivity, fostering a high-performance culture, developing future leaders, and strengthening employee engagement.
5. Manage P&L and cost efficiency, ensuring commercial targets and operational budgets are achieved.
6. Collaborate cross-functionally, working closely with senior leadership, supply chain, IT, finance, and customer services teams.
7. Lead strategic projects, including automation integration, process reengineering, and operational expansion.

3. Track record of managing a minimum 150 operatives, ensuring productivity, engagement, and operational efficiency.
4. Operational transformation & project management expertise, including automation rollouts, process improvements, and strategic growth initiatives.
5. Commercial acumen, including P&L responsibility, cost control, and budgeting.
6. Mix of experience from both large corporate & agile SME/scale-up environments - ability to balance structure with hands-on problem-solving.
7. Future leader mindset - ambition and capability to step into an Operations Director role as the business continues to expand.
