YT Technologies is seeking a Head of Business Operations on behalf of our client, a Bristol-based SME that has continuously grown year on year.

This is a pivotal, hands-on role for a mission-driven leader who thrives on building from the ground up. The ideal candidate will report directly to the CEO and be responsible for shaping the company's operational landscape and strategic alignment. This is not a maintenance role; it's a builder's role where you will design, implement, and optimize the systems and processes that underpin the company's growth. You will be tasked with creating new operational principles and frameworks to support scalable and efficient growth, rather than simply optimizing what already exists.

Key Responsibilities:

• Take full responsibility for building the operational backbone from scratch.

• Lead the creation of company-wide systems and processes that align with the long-term vision.

• Embed data-driven insights by designing and maintaining dashboards for leadership to track performance and make informed decisions.

• Architect and implement new frameworks and workflows, taking complete ownership of internal tools like Airtable.

• Lead strategic initiatives including facility expansion, supply chain optimization, and feasibility studies for new products and markets.

• Oversee the introduction of enterprise-level systems such as MRP, MES, PLM, and PDM, ensuring they are designed for future growth.

• Provide strategic operational insight and ensure the smooth execution of critical company priorities as a trusted partner to the CEO.

Essential Requirements:

• Proven experience in a senior operational leadership role, ideally within a high-growth technology or manufacturing environment.

• A strategic mindset combined with a willingness to be hands-on and an ability to balance big-picture vision with attention to detail.

• Demonstrated track record of designing and implementing scalable systems and workflows from scratch.

• Advanced analytical and data skills, including the ability to create dashboards and translate metrics into actionable insights.

• Excellent cross-functional collaboration and communication skills.

Beneficial Requirements:

• Experience with low-code/no-code platforms (e.g., Airtable) and enterprise systems (MRP/MES/PLM).

• Background in engineering or manufacturing operations.

• Experience with data visualization platforms such as Power BI or Tableau.

This company offers a culture committed to continuous personal and professional development and the chance to be part of something truly transformative. The company provides in-depth training, support, and mentorship, as well as an employee share scheme.
