We’re reshaping the world of advanced manufacturing and changing the way the world thinks about materials. Ours is a new model for manufacturing businesses, focusing on materials-led innovation, cutting-edge chemistry, and solutions-based engineering to deliver responsible manufacturing and sustainable choices.
It's a conscious commitment to reducing cost, waste, and adverse social impact while raising manufacturing performance. We’re a team of eight, with a pipeline of new commercial work and a growing order book, looking to scale and build the systems that help us deliver. This role is the vital conduit between project delivery and commercialisation, managing, balancing, and growing capability and capacity.
We’re looking for someone to own operational effectiveness in the organisation, connecting activities to projects and aligning stakeholders around excellence so that the business can meet its ambition. Join us as our new Operations Leader and help connect capacity to opportunity as we scale.
You're a solutions-focussed thinker and you’ve helped organisations bring clarity to projects, programs, and functions. Own our capacity management: build and maintain dashboards to relay insight to leadership, commercial, and financial functions. Coordinate activity across projects, programs, and clients. Run stand-ups, sprints, programs, and projects and manage the team's output cadence. Line-manage the professional development of the R&D team.
Bring a commercial mindset to delivery: joining client calls when needed, contributing to scope design, and looking for ways to grow contracts commercially alongside delivery. You should have operations, project, or program management experience across complex technical projects (ideally in Manufacturing or Engineering).
Empathy and Excellence: You’re able to build trust with both an R&D team and commercial stakeholders while raising the bar. Taking a holistic approach to vastly improve existing processes instead of fixing individual problems, you’re able to personally execute in the day-to-day whilst thinking about longer-term strategy.
Bonus: Experience in a start-up environment is a plus. An understanding of manufacturing processes, production planning, and how timelines actually play out on the shop floor would be a bonus.
An opportunity to play a key role in how the business delivers on its wider mission.
