South East

Recruiting operations managers in Faversham

We look for leaders who have run an operation of your size, type and complexity.

Across the South East, many leadership vacancies sit at sites such as the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates. We search for leaders who already know that market.

We ask candidates about the turnover, margin, headcount and service levels they have been responsible for, then about what they changed.

Across the South East, operations and general managers are hired by retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.

Your brief

Before we start searching

For Faversham operations under pressure, the right permanent leader is the difference between firefighting and planning.

Operations leaders who leave early often cite unrealistic targets, little investment or a head office that interferes. We raise all three first.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Who the role reports to
  • Your interview process, including presentations
