LRA Search are partnering with a long-standing, highly regarded property consultancy to appoint a senior-level Operations Director - a newly created role at the heart of one of the firm's busiest and most successful teams.
With a strong reputation and excellent staff retention, this is an exciting opportunity to lead operational transformation, improve performance, and drive strategic initiatives in a firm that values both people and progress.
About the Role:
As an Operations Director, you will translate the vision of the Partners and SLT into tangible, effective operations. Overseeing all non-project delivery functions, including admin, resource planning, compliance and internal systems, you'll ensure the team runs like a well-oiled machine.
This is a broad and influential position, with key responsibilities including:
* Delivering strategic initiatives and tracking corresponding KPIs
* Overhauling internal systems and processes to boost efficiency and service delivery
* Supporting people-focused projects such as recruitment and succession planning
* Leading high-impact initiatives, including ESG strategy, framework submissions, and business development
* Ensuring compliance, governance, and risk mitigation strategies are in place and robust
Who We’re Looking For:
* A senior operational leader with 5+ years in a similar role (consultancy or professional services preferred)
* A commercially minded, emotionally intelligent professional with outstanding communication and stakeholder management skills
* Someone comfortable navigating both strategic oversight and day-to-day operational execution
* Experience in ERP systems, data analytics, and performance management tools would be hugely beneficial
This is an ideal role for someone who thrives on making a tangible impact, driving change, and fostering a high-performing culture within a supportive, forward-thinking business.
