* Proven experience as an Operations Director / Head of Operations / Factory Manager.
* Strong command of data-driven management (Power BI / Monday.com / ERP).
* Experience with manufacturing, supply chain, or dispatch operations.

* Commercial focus: you care about profit, not paperwork.
We’ll Know You’re Right If…
* You’ve run multi-site or remote manufacturing operations.
* You enjoy leading through KPIs and dashboards.
* You think in terms of systems and numbers, not opinions.
