Operations Manager

_{21st May, 2026}

Operations Manager | Perth | Permanent | £40,000-£42,000 + Bonus
 
Not every "Operations Manager" role is operational.
 
Some are meetings.
Some are spreadsheets.
Some are reporting to people who don't actually want change.
 
This isn't that.
 
This is a wholesale distribution business that needs someone to take control of the warehouse and delivery operation - properly.
 
You'll be responsible for:
 

• 10 warehouse staff
• 2 drivers
• The flow of stock in and out
• Couriers
• Costs
• Standards
• Efficiency

 
It's hands-on.
 
If something isn't working, you fix it.
If a process is clunky, you improve it.
If money is being wasted, you stop it.
 
But this isn't about cutting for the sake of cutting.
 
It's about knowing the difference between:
 
❌ Bad costs
✅ Good investment
 
If a £10k system saves £50k over two years, you back it.
 
If someone wants to spend money for the sake of it, you challenge it.
 
You'll need to be:
 

• Comfortable leading from the floor, not just the office
• Commercially aware
• Strong on warehouse and logistics control
• Calm but firm with standards
• Confident managing drivers and third-party couriers
• Solid on Health & Safety (IOSH / NEBOSH level understanding)
