Operations Manager

Field-Based | UK Travel | Up to £50,000

We’re partnering with a rapidly growing K-beauty retail brand to appoint an Operations Manager as the business continues its exciting expansion across the UK.

Already operating a successful and growing retail estate alongside a thriving ecommerce channel and wholesale partnerships with major UK retailers, the business is building strong momentum within one of the most exciting categories in beauty.

This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious retail leader looking to take the next step in their career. Whether you’re currently managing a flagship store, overseeing multiple locations, or operating within a cluster or area management structure, this role offers the chance to gain broader operational exposure within a fast-growth business.

The Opportunity

As Operations Manager, you’ll play a key role in supporting and improving performance across a growing network of stores.

Working closely with senior leadership, you’ll help drive operational excellence, coach and develop store teams, and support the successful rollout of new locations as the business expands.

This is a highly visible, field-based role requiring regular travel across the UK. You’ll be someone who enjoys being in stores, building relationships with teams, identifying opportunities for improvement, and driving high standards across the retail estate.

Key Responsibilities

  • Support operational performance across multiple retail locations
  • Coach, develop and motivate Store Managers and their teams
  • Drive sales, productivity and customer experience standards
  • Monitor and improve key retail KPIs including sales, conversion and labour performance
  • Ensure operational consistency and high standards across all locations
  • Support new store openings and expansion projects
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes and ways of working
  • Partner closely with senior leadership to support the continued growth of the business
  • Travel regularly across the UK to support stores and teams

About You

We’re interested in speaking with candidates from:

  • Beauty
  • Cosmetics
  • Lifestyle Retail
  • Premium Retail
  • Fashion Retail
  • Fast-growth consumer brands

K-beauty experience is welcome but not essential.

You’ll likely bring:

  • Strong retail leadership experience
  • A proven track record of delivering commercial results
  • Experience managing flagship stores, multiple stores, clusters, or regional teams
  • Excellent coaching and people development skills
  • Strong organisational and operational capability
  • A hands-on, proactive leadership style
  • The flexibility to travel regularly across the UK

Why Join?

  • Join a high-growth retail business at an exciting stage of expansion
  • Genuine progression opportunities as the business continues to scale
  • Work closely with founders and senior leadership
  • Play a key role in shaping the future of the retail operation
  • Exposure across retail, ecommerce and wholesale channels
  • Make a visible impact from day one

Growth Plans

With several new store openings planned over the next 12-18 months, this is a rare opportunity to join a business early in its growth journey and help shape the next chapter of its success.

If you’re an ambitious retail leader looking for a broader operational role within a fast-growing beauty brand, we’d love to hear from you.
