Operations manager recruitment

We place the permanent operations and general managers who scale sites, lead large teams and deliver against demanding commercial targets across logistics and supply chain.

Operations Management

Leaders who deliver at scale

Operations leadership sets the ceiling on what a site or a region can achieve. A strong operations manager lifts productivity, safety and morale together; a weak one drags all three down.

These are high-stakes appointments. Operations and general managers carry the P&L, the people and the customer relationships — often across multiple sites — and the cost of getting it wrong reaches far beyond the salary.

We recruit permanent operations management professionals across the UK, from site managers to operations directors. Our consultative, often retained, process is built to de-risk the appointment: a proper brief, a mapped market, and a shortlist assessed on leadership and delivery, not just a tidy CV.

Leading at scale

Running large teams across sites is a distinct skill. We assess proven people leadership and the ability to deliver through others.

Frequently asked questions

Do you recruit permanent operations managers?

Yes. We are permanent recruitment specialists. Every operations management role we work — from Site Manager to Operations Director — is a permanent appointment with your business, focused on long-term leadership rather than short-term cover.

Which operations management roles do you recruit for?

We place Operations Managers, General and Site Managers, Regional and Multi-site Managers, and Operations Directors across logistics, distribution and supply chain operations.

How do you de-risk a senior operations appointment?

Senior operations hires are high-stakes, so we run a consultative, often retained, process — taking a thorough brief, mapping the market, assessing leadership and delivery track record, and presenting a considered shortlist rather than a rushed list of applicants.
