Job from partner21st 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)
