Company Description
At Carbase, we aim to provide our team of over 200 staff members with a positive, friendly, and ambitious working environment. We encourage our team to meet and exceed their personal and professional expectations. We are incredibly passionate about our roots and the future we are building together. It is this collective passion, determination, and drive that has fueled our success.
 
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
