Operations Manager ( not a corporate!)
High Quality Education contracts
London & Home Counties
This brilliant truly independent client of mine is winning more wonderful Education clients and hence needs a no nonsense proper operations manager to join them! My client is very direct straight forward, no fluff, down to earth she does not want you to spend your time being so hands on and getting stuck in she wants you to be a proper Operations Manager coming up with ways to build better and more commercially viable relationships with your clients. Rather than being a people pleaser we need ideally someone who is direct, dynamic and happy to be the bad guy or gal sometimes when tough decisions need to be made! Rather than describe yourself as being super nice, my client values attributes like being super fair and decent with a high work ethic.
In all you will be responsible for 12 clients, 7 of which all belong to the same group of high profile Secondary schools, some boasting their own pastry chefs, and you will be supported by (as well as your General Managers of course) an operations support manager, a group manager and 2 relief chef managers, so a decent sized team able to manage the business need's.
This is a great time to be joining this independent one of the very few left out there they have a mix of B&I, Independent and State education contacts and this role would be looking after some decent but demanding Secondary schools so this experience would be brilliant, if not then if you had experience within the B&I world that would fit as you would know about running a business commercially.
