Operations Manager

Lagos Full Time

Retail, Fashion & FMCG NGN 400, ,000

The Operations Manager is the heartbeat of our backend systems, the one who ensures that every order, experience, and relationship runs smoothly from start to finish. You'll be responsible for coordinating the flow of operations across inventory, fulfilment, delivery, and customer experience, helping us deliver good, literally and figuratively, to every customer, creator, and partner. You'll build and maintain the systems that connect our people, products, and processes: from the moment a customer places an order, to when it's fulfilled, handed over to the fleet team, and received with a smile. Beyond logistics, you'll be a key player in creator and customer management, making sure every stakeholder interaction feels thoughtful, timely, and true to our brand promise. You'll thrive in the details while keeping an eye on the bigger picture: efficiency, satisfaction, and growth. We believe operations is the art of turning intention into experience, and you'll be the artist behind that.
