We’re hiring a strategic Operations Director for a fast-growing, mission-driven consumer brand that’s scaling rapidly across the UK and international markets.

You’ll also lead and develop a smart and ambitious team, helping them step up as the business grows in size and complexity. From overseeing S&OP and supplier performance to championing continuous improvement and futureproofing international logistics, this is a role for someone who thrives on building and scaling - and knows how to balance structure with pace.
