• Manage and coordinate our virtual assistants (VAs) and contractors
• Oversee finances and reporting in collaboration with bookkeeping and accounting teams
• Review and interpret sales reports, making recommendations for growth and efficiency
• Project Management
• Keep major projects (including launches and activations) on track
• Ensure timelines and deadlines are met without compromising quality
• Troubleshoot and problem-solve quickly when issues arise

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience in a General Manager, Operations Manager, or senior leadership role (preferably in fashion, retail, creative industries, or fast-growing startups)
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to manage and inspire small teams
• Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
• Confident in implementing new systems, processes, and workflows from scratch
• Excellent communication skills — both internally and externally
• Strong financial literacy and experience with budgets, sales, and performance reporting
• Tech-savvy, with the ability to adopt new tools and automations
• Calm under pressure and solution-oriented, even in high-stakes moments

Why Join Us?

You’ll be joining Bye Bambi at a pivotal moment of growth and creativity. We move fast, think big, and execute bold ideas — and you’ll have the opportunity to directly shape the way our business operates and scales globally.

If you’re ready to bring order, structure, and operational brilliance to a creative powerhouse, we’d love to hear from you.
