Operations Director
Build, Lead, Scale
Manchester | Competitive Salary + Bonus + Equity
We’re partnering with an innovative, purpose-led business to find an Operations Director who’s ready to take the lead in building and scaling something truly transformational.
This is a unique opportunity to own the operational engine of a high-growth business from the ground up designing systems, leading rollout, and setting up for national (and global) expansion.

Launch operations in new UK and international markets
Design scalable systems across logistics, recruitment, onboarding, payments, and more
Lead day-to-day execution of a fast-paced rollout plan
Recruit, lead, and develop a growing operations team
Collaborate closely with product, mental health, and barbering leads to align operations with vision
Build performance dashboards and track key metrics to drive data-led decisions
Support investor readiness by showing operational traction and scalability
Prepare the business for future international expansion
We’re looking for someone who:
️ Has proven experience in a senior operations role at a startup or scaleup
️ Has launched and grown operational models from scratch
️ Thrives on building systems, solving problems, and optimising processes
️ Is energised by ambiguity, fast change, and innovation
️ Has experience scaling teams and operations through rapid growth
️ Communicates clearly and aligns diverse stakeholders
️ Believes in building businesses with purpose and positive impact
In return, you’ll get a leadership role with influence, an attractive salary and bonus, and a genuine equity opportunity giving you ownership in a business with big ambitions.
If you’re an operations leader ready to build, lead, and scale a high-growth business with purpose, we’d love to speak with you.
