We're recruiting exclusively on behalf of a successful and growing Yorkshire-based organisation looking for a proactive, highly organised Operations Manager to oversee the day-to-day running of their head office. This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days are the same, offering the opportunity to make a real impact across the business.

As Operations Manager, you'll take ownership of the smooth running of the office environment, ensuring colleagues, visitors and senior stakeholders enjoy a professional, safe and well-organised workplace.



Working closely with senior leadership, you'll oversee facilities, Health & Safety, supplier management and executive support, while managing a small team responsible for front-of-house services.



This is an ideal opportunity for someone who enjoys balancing strategic planning with a hands-on approach and can confidently manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.



Key Responsibilities



  • Oversee the day-to-day operation of a busy head office, ensuring it is safe, compliant and running efficiently.


Take ownership of all Health & Safety and workplace compliance, ensuring statutory obligations, audits, fire safety procedures and risk assessments are maintained.

Coordinate Executive and Board meetings, including scheduling, agendas, meeting papers, minute taking and action tracking.


Lead the reception and front-of-house function, ensuring an exceptional experience for visitors and employees.


Manage workplace suppliers and service contracts, negotiating where appropriate to ensure value for money.


Oversee workplace budgets, insurance renewals and operational expenditure.


Support office moves, refurbishment projects and wider business initiatives.


Work closely with HR and IT to ensure a smooth onboarding experience for new employees.


Be the go-to person for operational issues, responding quickly and effectively as challenges arise.




About You


We're looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership and genuinely cares about creating an efficient, well-run workplace.



You'll ideally have:



  • Proven experience in an Operations Manager, Office Manager, Workplace Manager or Facilities Manager role.


Health & Safety experience is essential, with a strong understanding of workplace compliance, fire safety and statutory obligations.


Experience coordinating Executive or Board meetings and supporting senior stakeholders.


Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.


Experience managing suppliers, contractors and service agreements.


Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.


A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with the confidence to make decisions.


Exceptional attention to detail and the ability to remain calm under pressure.




What's on Offer



  • Salary of £40,000 - £45,000 depending on experience.


A varied and autonomous role with genuine ownership and responsibility.


Modern office environment.


Supportive and collaborative leadership team.


Excellent long-term career prospects within a successful and growing organisation.


Comprehensive benefits package. xwwtmva
