Operations Director

1 Days Old

Build. Scale. Transform. Lead from the front.We are looking for an Operations Director who thrives in complexity, enjoys building order out of growth, and knows how to turn a manufacturing and engineering environment into a high-performing, scalable, and controlled engine for delivery. You won’t just be running an existing model — you will be designing, improving, and scaling it.
This is a pivotal leadership role at the heart of a growing life sciences manufacturing business where new products, evolving demand, and operational expansion are all happening at pace. You will take ownership of a site that must continuously evolve from production flow and layout design, through to capability, compliance, and leadership culture.
If you are motivated by transformation, precision, and building something that genuinely scales — this is your opportunity.
What success looks likeIn this role, success means:
A site that runs with clarity, rhythm, and control New products transitioning smoothly from concept into scalable production Operational processes that are robust, compliant, and repeatable A workforce that is engaged, accountable, and high performing Material flow that is lean, efficient, and continuously improving A facility designed not for today — but for where the business is going nextYour leadership impactYou will be the most senior operational leader on site, setting the tone for performance, discipline, and continuous improvement.
You’ll lead and develop multi-disciplinary teams, ensuring strong leadership capability at every level of the organisation. Just as importantly, you’ll build a culture where accountability, engagement, and operational pride are the norm — not the exception.
You’ll work closely with HR, engineering, quality, supply chain, and senior leadership to ensure alignment across the full value chain.
If this sounds like you…If you are the kind of leader who sees inefficiency and immediately thinks “I know how to fix that,” who enjoys building structure in fast-moving manufacturing and engineering environments, and who has the confidence to lead from the front — we would like to hear from you.
