UK, UK, United Kingdom Marshall Harmony Full time

Drive operational excellence as Head of Operations in a thriving automotive aftermarket leader.

Are you ready to take the wheel and steer a thriving £19 million business to new heights? As the Head of Operations, you’ll be at the forefront of this company’s journey, playing a pivotal role in shaping its future and making a significant impact. With over two decades of trading history, they have experienced significant growth and were recently acquired by a global powerhouse. This acquisition has amplified their influence while preserving the values of a homegrown Black Country business. Now, they’re ready to build on this foundation, with you as Head of Operations leading their operations.

The Managing Director has been living in your shoes and he is now ready to pass the operational reins to someone with your vision and expertise to drive the business forward, allowing him to focus on strategic goals.

This isn’t your typical operations role. In a fast-paced aftermarket automotive sector, you’ll oversee "anything that moves." A transport background is essential, as navigating the industry's challenges and being reactive are key to success here.

As Head of Operations, these are the key areas that will all be under your watchful eye:

  • Warehousing
  • Assembly
  • Paint shop
  • Transport
  • Health & Safety

With a new site on the horizon in Bristol, this is your chance to lead a team and shape processes that will define the company’s future. You’ll have four direct reports, including a long-standing team member as your right-hand Operations Manager who’s been with the business for 12 years, bringing invaluable insight and experience.

What’s in it for you as the Head of Operations?

Leadership: You’ll oversee a diverse set of operations, making strategic decisions that directly influence the company’s success. This role gives you the autonomy to shape the future of the business, providing you with the platform to implement your vision and make a real difference.

Put your industry expertise into action: Your background in Automotive Aftermarket & Transport will be crucial. You’ll have the opportunity to leverage your expertise in navigating the fast-paced, often unpredictable nature of this sector, ensuring the company stays ahead of the curve and maintains its competitive edge.

Optimisation and efficiency: Your experience with ISO9001 and ERP systems will be key to driving efficiency and maintaining high standards of quality. You won’t just keep things running—you’ll optimise processes to ensure continuous improvement, making the business more efficient and effective.

Team leadership and development: With a strong team already in place, this role allows you to nurture and develop talent, fostering a culture of excellence and continuous growth. You’ll be instrumental in helping your team reach their full potential, creating a unified, high-performing workforce.

Growth potential: With a new site on the horizon in Bristol, this is your chance to make a lasting impact on the company’s future. This growth phase offers you the opportunity to guide the business through expansion, leaving a legacy of success.

Are you a Head of Operations or Operations Director ready to take on this challenge and drive success?

We’re offering a competitive package, including a salary of £75k - £80k, a company vehicle, managers bonus of up to 10k, pension, 4x life assurance, and 24 days holiday plus statutory holidays.

Your hours of work will be 8:15 – 16:45 Monday - Friday

This isn’t just a job; it’s an open door to secure your future, making a difference in a thriving industry.

If you’re ready to bring your expertise to a role where you can truly make an impact, we’d love to hear from you.
