Working with some of the UK's best-known consumer and FMCG brands, we deploy high-performing sales teams across a packed calendar of events throughout the UK and Ireland.
Our success is built on exceptional operational delivery.
Every week we're coordinating people, logistics, transport, accommodation, equipment and client expectations across multiple live activations. It takes strong leadership, commercial awareness and operational excellence to keep everything running smoothly.
As we continue to scale, including exciting international growth plans, we're looking for a Head of Operations who can build operational excellence while remaining close to the detail that makes our business successful.
Where You'll Make an Impact:This isn't a traditional corporate operations role. Likewise, this isn't an event organiser position. We're looking for someone who understands the operational challenges behind delivering multiple pop-up activations nationwide, rather than organising one-off corporate events or conferences.
You’ll lead the operational delivery behind multiple live campaigns running simultaneously across the UK, overseeing logistics, workforce deployment, warehouse operations, contractor compliance, transport planning and operational performance to ensure every campaign is delivered safely, efficiently and profitably.
Working closely with the CEO, you'll strengthen operational processes, improve scalability and continue building the infrastructure needed to support our ambitious growth plans.
