Job Title: Business Operations Manager

Reports to: Chief Operating Officer

Location: Hybrid – based between Bristol and Somerset (regular presence at both locations expected)

Salary: Competitive, based on experience

About the Role

We’re hiring a Business Operations Manager to lead the successful delivery of cross-functional programmes that improve how we operate, reduce cost, and drive measurable business value. Reporting directly to the COO, this role will work on a small number of SLT-prioritised programmes, all aligned to key plan outcomes and commercial gain.

This is a high-impact role focused on financial improvement through operational change. It requires a proven operator who can simplify complexity, apply structured process thinking, challenge constructively, and support teams to deliver lasting results.

With fewer business layers, this role has the latitude to act decisively and deliver change at pace — translating ideas into outcomes without the drag of bureaucracy, and offering clear headroom for growth as the business scales.

In the first 6–12 months, What You’ll Do

Lead 2–3 high-value programmes each quarter, agreed and prioritised by SLT

Conduct structured process reviews to identify inefficiencies and quantify opportunity

Apply formal improvement methods (e.g. Lean Six Sigma) to design better operating practices

Use cost/benefit thinking to build business cases and prioritise projects

Drive project governance: hold timelines, report progress, surface risks, and escalate blockers

Partner with DR1s and delivery teams, supporting change while building local capability

Establish and run structured SLT review cycles for all active programmes

Build clear, self-serve reporting using Looker Studio, Google Sheets, Excel, Power BI, and SQL

Work at all levels – from shop floor to senior leadership – to embed and sustain improvements

Challenge assumptions when needed, and ask the questions others avoid (“why, why not, what if?”)

Accelerate cycle time reduction across business units – for example, reducing time from vehicle acquisition to retail readiness, or shortening the time from customer inquiry to handover

All projects will have an SLT sponsor. The Business Operations Manager will lead delivery, cadence, and outcomes.

What You’ll Bring

Demonstrable success in delivering cross-functional programmes with measurable financial benefit

Certified or experienced in a recognised improvement methodology (e.g. Lean Six Sigma) — or able to demonstrate a proven, problem-statement–driven approach to delivering measurable business improvement with evidenced results.

Strong numerical and analytical skills – comfortable with volumetric, financial, and operational data

Proven experience simplifying complexity and communicating clearly with stakeholders at all levels

Strong resilience and conviction – able to challenge peers and leadership constructively

Proven ability that can be demonstrated through prior project work leveraging such as Lean Six Sigma

Confident working with large datasets and tools like Google Sheets, Excel, Looker Studio, Power BI, SQL

Track record of building relationships and delivering through others – not by control, but by enablement

Curious and creative – willing to challenge convention and propose new ideas confidently

How We’ll Measure Success

SLT-led programmes deliver their intended financial outcomes

Projects are run with pace, discipline, and transparency

Fewer repeated issues due to stronger root cause resolution

Operational dashboards and data tools become embedded in daily decision-making

DR1s are more capable and confident in driving improvement within their own teams

Location & Travel

This is a hybrid role based between our Bristol and Somerset locations. On-site presence is expected 4 days per week, depending on project needs.
