Operations Management Recruitment in Hammersmith

The general managers and operations directors who turn Hammersmith sites around and keep them improving.

London & the South East

An operations recruitment desk for Hammersmith

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

Operations employers across London & the South East include last-mile and parcel carriers, grocery and e-commerce fulfilment, airfreight forwarders and national 3PLs. Each runs a different model, so we recruit to the operation rather than the title.

Contract logistics, retail distribution, parcel networks and manufacturing operations each need a different kind of leader.

Sites such as the Thames Gateway parks and the M25 orbital estates compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.

How it works

Our process, step by step

The brief

The operation, the P&L, the team, the client and the result the new leader must deliver.

Market mapping

We map the leaders running comparable operations within a realistic commute or relocation.

Confidential approach

Proven leaders are approached discreetly, with the facts that would make a move worth considering.

Your brief

Getting the brief right

An empty leadership seat is expensive: overtime climbs, clients lose patience and the team stops improving.

Many operations directors began as shift or site managers. We recruit at every step of that path.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • The operation, its sites and its sector
  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • Salary, bonus and car allowance
  • Who the role reports to
