Working closely with senior leadership, you’ll play a key role in improving operational performance, implementing new technology platforms and building a scalable infrastructure to support future expansion.
The Role
This is a broad, hands-on management position with responsibility across customer service, order processing, warehousing, logistics, inventory management and operational projects.
- Leading operational improvement initiatives and driving efficiency across the business.
- Supporting the implementation and optimisation of ERP, CRM, e-commerce and warehouse management systems.
- Mapping, documenting and standardising operational processes and SOPs.
- Managing order fulfilment, logistics, inventory control and returns processes.
- Developing and reporting on operational KPIs and service metrics.
- Leading, developing and supporting customer service and operational teams.
- Working cross-functionally with commercial, finance, warehouse and leadership teams to ensure operational excellence.

About You
- Previous experience in an Operations Manager, Supply Chain Manager, Logistics Manager or similar operational leadership position.
- A strong track record of process improvement and operational transformation.
- Experience implementing or supporting ERP, CRM, e-commerce or warehouse management systems.
- Strong analytical and KPI-driven decision-making skills.
- Experience leading and developing teams.
- Excellent organisational, communication and stakeholder management abilities.
Experience within medical devices, healthcare, dental, pharmaceutical or another regulated distribution environment would be particularly attractive but is by no means essential.
Why Consider It?
- Opportunity to shape and influence a growing business.
- Significant exposure to business transformation and systems implementation projects.
- Highly visible role with genuine autonomy and responsibility.
- Long-term career progression opportunities.
- Collaborative and supportive leadership team.
