Join Our Team

You will lead a team of five to six people, setting priorities, managing workload and developing strong ways of working across the two teams. At the same time, this is a hands-on role where you will work directly with operational tasks as part of your normal week.
A key part of the role will be to simplify how we work, strengthen the team and create clear and efficient processes across Operations and Logistics.

- Provide operational input to the COO on tenders, cost-out initiatives and operational projects
- Report weekly on operational status, priorities and team capacity
- Document and simplify inbound processes with a focus on fewer touchpoints, fewer checks and fewer emails
