Head of Operations - High-Growth Start-Up
£70,000 - £80,000 + 15% bonus + potential equity
Zachary Daniels is delighted to be partnering with an ambitious, fast-growing start-up to appoint a Head of Operations at a pivotal stage of its growth.
This is a brilliant opportunity for an energetic, commercially minded and ambitious operator who wants genuine responsibility and the chance to help build something.
This isn't a corporate operations role. It's a hands-on opportunity to join a business with real ambition, working closely with the founder and leadership team to build the infrastructure, systems and processes needed for the next phase of growth.
The Role
As Head of Operations, you'll take ownership of the operational engine of the business, ensuring it can scale quickly, efficiently and profitably.
You'll be responsible for:
- *Leading day-to-day operations and creating structure, accountability and pace.
- *Building scalable systems and processes as the business grows.
- *Managing suppliers, purchasing, logistics and external partners.
- *Improving stock planning, forecasting and operational efficiency.
- *Overseeing customer and service operations.
- *Creating useful reporting and commercial visibility.
- *Monitoring costs, margins and operational performance.
- *Identifying problems and implementing practical solutions.
- *Introducing automation, technology and AI where they can genuinely improve the business.
- *Managing and developing the operational team as the business grows.
- *Working closely with the founder to reduce operational firefighting and build a scalable operation.
- This is a hands-on role. You'll need to be comfortable moving between strategic thinking and getting stuck into the detail.
- One day you could be reviewing performance and building a new process; the next, solving a supplier issue or removing a bottleneck.
- You'll be expected to make things happen.
