Overview

Experienced Ops Leaders Supporting the Next Generation

We9re launching our Operations Academy to support operations professionals working in businesses between £2m and £50m turnover. These businesses are growing, complex, and often experiencing the challenges that come with scaling fast.

We9re looking for seasoned operations leaders who now want to mentor and guide others - helping Operations Managers and Directors build the confidence, clarity, and capability they need to lead well.

You9ll be involved in:

• Sharing your own insights, experience, and lessons learned from real operational leadership

You9ll need to bring:

This is ideal for experienced operations professionals who want to give back - not by theorising, but by helping others find their own clarity and confidence in real-world roles.
