Job Summary

  • As the General Manager of Operations, you will be the wizard behind the curtain, ensuring everything runs smoothly across all operational fronts.
  • This isn't just about managing processes - it's about orchestrating a symphony of efficiency, innovation, and operational excellence.
  • You will lead from the front, bringing strategic insight, a data-driven mindset, and just a dash of magic to propel the company toward unprecedented success.
  • Spoiler alert: You'll also get to boss around some amazing teams while keeping a laser focus on delivering customer satisfaction and operational greatness.

Responsibilities
Strategic Planning and Execution:

  • Develop and implement robust operational strategies that align with the company's long-term goals and objectives.
  • Forecast market trends, operational challenges, and emerging technologies, turning every operational challenge into a riddle easily solved by your expert leadership.
  • Collaborate with the senior leadership team to ensure strategic alignment between operational performance and business objectives.

Process Optimization and Efficiency:

  • Identify areas for operational improvement—basically, find all the kinks in the system and iron them out with finesse.
  • Champion lean management principles and other efficiency-driven methodologies to reduce costs and increase productivity. In other words, you'll make things run so smoothly, that people will think they're dreaming.
  • Oversee the implementation of process automation tools, because we live in the 21st century, and if we're still doing things manually, we've got bigger problems.

Team Leadership and Development:

  • Lead a team of department heads and operations managers. Yes, you'll be the general, but don't worry—you won't need a cape unless you really want one.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, high performance, and continuous improvement. Translation: inspire your team to be just as obsessed with efficiency as you are.
  • Conduct performance reviews, coach the leadership team, and make sure that everyone's individual goals align with the big picture. You'll be part mentor, part drill sergeant with kindness, of course.

Budgeting and Financial Oversight:

  • Develop and manage the operations budget, keeping a hawk's eye on costs while ensuring we don't skimp on quality.
  • Analyze financial statements, profit margins, and KPIs to make informed decisions that keep the company fiscally healthy. In simple terms: you'll be the financial doctor who makes sure the operation's pulse is strong and steady.
  • Partner with the CFO to optimize resource allocation and identify cost-saving opportunities.

Supply Chain and Logistics:

  • Oversee supply chain operations to ensure goods and services move seamlessly from suppliers to customers, like a well-rehearsed dance number—no missteps allowed.
  • Ensure timely, cost-effective procurement, inventory management, and distribution, making sure everything arrives where it's supposed to, when it's supposed to. Teleportation powers not required, but a keen sense of timing will do.
  • Partner with procurement teams to ensure vendor relationships are not just transactional but partnerships built on trust and mutual success.

Quality Assurance and Risk Management:

  • Ensure that all operations meet high-quality standards. Yes, we strive for excellence; good enough is not in our vocabulary.
  • Proactively manage risks, from supply chain disruptions to unexpected surges in demand—because when it rains, you'll have an umbrella ready before anyone else realizes it's cloudy.
  • Ensure compliance with legal and regulatory requirements to avoid any "surprise" visits from government entities.

Innovation and Continuous Improvement:

  • Drive continuous improvement initiatives and implement the latest technologies to streamline operations.
  • Foster a culture of innovation and encourage the team to think outside the box—unless the box is part of the logistics chain, in which case, we'll keep it in rotation.

Qualifications

  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Operations Management, or a related field.
  • Experience: Minimum of 3 years of progressive experience in operations management, with at least 5 years in a senior leadership role.

Skills:

  • Proven ability to manage large teams across multiple departments a.k.a., keeping all the plates spinning without breaking any.
  • Strong analytical skills and experience using data to drive decision-making. If spreadsheets and dashboards get you excited, you're on the right track.
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills—you'll need to be part diplomat, part motivator.
  • Hands-on experience with ERP systems and operational management tools bonus points if you've wrestled with them before and won.
  • The ability to anticipate problems before they arise, like a chess grandmaster five moves ahead of the game.

Core Competencies:

  • Leadership: You're not just a manager; you're a mentor and visionary, capable of rallying teams around a shared vision.
  • Problem-Solving: You love a good puzzle and have the knack for turning complex problems into simple solutions.
  • Adaptability: The world of operations moves fast, and you can pivot with grace under pressure.
  • Innovation: You're not afraid to push boundaries and find creative ways to make things better, faster, and more efficient.
