About this job

PERMANENT REMOTE OPERATIONS MANAGER JOB! This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing, purpose-driven organisation at a pivotal stage of its development.

As a newly created Operations Manager role, you will work closely with the Finance Director and Chief Operating Officer, helping to shape the way the organisation operates as it continues to expand.

This is far more than a traditional operations position.

You will play a central role in driving organisational effectiveness, improving processes, supporting strategic initiatives and ensuring the business has the infrastructure, systems and operational foundations needed to scale successfully.

For a commercially-minded individual who enjoys variety, influence and seeing the direct impact of their work, this role offers the opportunity to become a key member of the leadership support team.

Working remotely, with occasional travel to Sheffield for meetings and collaborative sessions, you will take ownership of a broad range of operational responsibilities.

You will identify opportunities to improve ways of working, streamline processes, enhance efficiency and support the successful delivery of business objectives across multiple functions.

You will regularly engage with senior stakeholders, balancing day-to-day operational activity with longer-term improvement projects that contribute to the organisation's continued growth.

We're looking for a commercially aware and highly organised individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and enjoys taking ownership.

You will have a track record of managing business operations, implementing effective processes and supporting organisational growth.

Strong stakeholder management skills are essential, alongside the ability to influence, collaborate and build credibility across a diverse range of teams and functions.

The successful candidate will be comfortable managing multiple priorities, solving problems proactively and turning ideas into practical solutions.

You will bring a hands-on, can-do approach, combined with commercial awareness to understand how effective operations contribute to overall organisational success.

Candidates may come from a variety of sectors, but experience in growing, consultancy, professional services, charitable or social impact organisations would be particularly relevant.

Equally important is the ability to demonstrate transferable experience, strong operational leadership skills, being commercial and a genuine enthusiasm for helping an organisation achieve its ambitions.

This role would suit an ambitious Operations Manager, Business/Office Manager, Head of Operations, Practice Manager or Commercial Operations professional looking for a position where they can influence change, work closely with senior leadership and play a key role in an organisation's next phase of growth.
