RLT Group is a rapidly scaling UK-based group operating across marine, onsite and wholesale distribution, currently turning over £9.5–£10m with a clearly defined ambition to reach £30m by 2030. This is a critical, newly created leadership role designed to bring operational rigour, structure and scalability into the business. The organisation is commercially strong, sales-led and entrepreneurial — what’s needed now is a senior operational leader who can strip back, rebuild and future-proof operations without disrupting momentum.
You will operate as a standalone operational silo, initially reporting to the commercial director, with full autonomy to design systems, set KPIs and drive delivery across production, warehousing, logistics and international supply chains. This role is not about maintaining the status quo — it’s about doing the extraordinary.
- Scale operational capability in line with aggressive growth plans
- Improve DIFOT performance from 91% to 96%+, with international shipments targeted at 100%
- Reduce project lead times to 2 weeks
- Implement scalable systems across manufacturers, warehouses and logistics
- Strengthen the relationship between sales and operations
- Create structure without slowing the business down
What You’ll Be Accountable For:
- Operational Leadership
- End-to-end ownership of operations across UK and international sites
- Oversight of multiple warehouses (including Europe) and subcontract manufacturers
- Direct management of warehouse leadership and operational teams
