About you:

Operating from our London Office, your remit will be to control and oversee all business operations, people and future growth. You will be the prominent figure within the organisation and will be responsible for the ongoing success of the business.

You must have senior management experience in a dynamic setting; this role requires best-in-class communication and leadership skills as well as an ability to develop innovative solutions that push boundaries. The Managing Director will work closely with the Praxis Group COO to strategize and develop robust long-term plans that usher in new levels of success for the company.

We are looking for someone who has experience in directing project managers, designers and finance teams, who are all working towards the same goal. The remit of Task Fitout will include Cat A and B office fit-out schemes and, as such, you must be comfortable in this environment. Our projects are located across the UK and so you will be required to travel frequently. This is a great opportunity to join a growing business with a very healthy pipeline of work, and to shape it into a successful, industry-leading design and fit-out firm.

  • Technical capabilities – to drill down into the intricate details of all offerings, ensuring range of delivery and value-add remain as core focuses throughout the business, whilst providing hands-on, technical expertise to all stakeholders

Main Duties:

  • Develop, implement, and monitor day-to-day operational systems and processes to provide visibility and drive ownership of responsibilities
  • Develop relationships with suppliers, contractors and existing/potential customers in order to maximise opportunities for growth and business development
  • Design, plan and monitor key metrics within the operations to allow for rapid, controlled growth
  • Ensure all contractual obligations are fulfilled and the operational workflow managed appropriately
  • Take responsibility for the recruitment of essential hires across the Company, allowing for a diverse range of ideas and skillsets
  • Work closely with the Financial Controller to ensure profitability by controlling the budget, and P&L, and maintaining transparency with the Praxis Group COO
  • Full commercial and operational responsibility for the performance of all the contracts
  • Report regularly to the Praxis Group Board on the performance of all aspects of the business
  • Provision of best-in-class service to all internal and external stakeholders, leading the standards in design, execution and Health & Safety
  • Monitor all Company policies and procedures, and ownership of subsequent required actions for non-adherence

Requirements, skills and qualifications:

  • Extensive experience in leading a design and fit-out company (or a division within a larger company)
  • Highly entrepreneurial and commercial in approach
  • Demonstrable experience of building strong and enduring client relationships
  • Deep understanding of JCT contract administration
  • Strong initiative and an ability to navigate ambiguity
  • Ability to instigate and oversee the design and implement best-in-class systems and processes
  • Strong leadership and people management capability
  • Tech-savvy and innovative
  • Positive attitude, resilience and reliability
  • Able to work autonomously, whilst building effective relationships with key stakeholders and departments

This is an incredible opportunity to join a high-growth business and play a pivotal role in shaping its future success. If you're ready to lead, innovate, and make a real impact, we want to hear from you.
