Live Operations & Scheduling Manager
Keep our tech, teams, and timelines in perfect sync.
At House of Willow Alexander, we don’t just deliver home and garden services — we deliver time, trust, and beauty to our clients. Every booking is a promise, and you’ll be the one who makes sure we keep it.
We’re looking for a commercially-minded live operations leader to run our entire daily service schedule, manage our tech platform, and keep our eco-friendly vans moving like clockwork. You’ll oversee all recurring client work plus new bookings, making sure our teams arrive on time, fully equipped, and ready to deliver a flawless service experience.
This isn’t a call-centre role. This is a central command seat — where quick thinking, clear communication, and sharp commercial instincts are essential.
Your mission
* Own the entire live schedule across all service vans, ensuring routes are efficient, profitable, and smooth.
* Manage all subscription schedules — keeping recurring clients delighted and retention high.
* Slot in new and last-minute bookings without disrupting the day’s flow.
* Operate and optimise our tech platform — from booking management to route planning.
* Track live jobs, review notes, confirm completions, and follow up on anything outstanding.
* Be the real-time support hub for field teams — solving problems, rerouting if needed, and keeping everyone on track.
* Collaborate with Customer Success on client updates and with Sales to handle incoming leads (with support from your Sales Assistant).
* Spot trends and continuously improve — analysing data to make future days run even better.

You’ll thrive here if you…

* Can juggle multiple priorities under pressure without losing your cool.
* Understand that a great schedule is about commercial efficiency, not just logistics.
* Love working with tech platforms and can pick up new systems fast.
* Are a natural problem-solver and a clear communicator — with both clients and teams.
* Care about sustainability — we’re a carbon-neutral brand with a big eco mission.
