Business Operations Manager

Manage the systems and processes behind Partners in Profit, turning ideas into workable plans and keeping projects
moving so the business runs smoothly as it grows.

About The Role

We’re looking for someone who can’t help noticing when there might be a better way of doing something.

As our Business Operations Manager, you’ll help turn ideas into organised, workable plans and make sure the systems behind Partners in Profit keep pace as the business grows.

This isn’t about creating endless policies, complicated spreadsheets or processes for the sake of having processes. It’s about making work simpler.

You’ll work closely with the founders and wider team to understand what’s working, what isn’t and where a little more structure would make everyone’s lives easier.

Some days that might mean helping get a new project off the ground. Other days you might be untangling a clunky process, spotting that two systems are doing the same job or helping everyone get clear about who’s doing what and by when.

We don’t expect you to arrive knowing how to run every aspect of our business.

We’ll invest in helping the right person develop the knowledge and confidence to take increasing ownership of our operations as the business grows.
