East Midlands

Recruiting operations managers in Mansfield

Every operations candidate we put forward has been screened on the P&L, the headcount and the results they delivered.

Operations across the East Midlands are connected by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal. Leaders who understand that network plan capacity with fewer surprises.

Many operations roles cover more than one site. We check how much travel each candidate is ready for before they reach the shortlist.

Sites such as the Golden Triangle parks at DIRFT, Magna Park and Hams Hall compete for the same proven leaders, which keeps senior pay competitive.

How it works

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

We ask referees about results, leadership and how the candidate handled pressure.

Offer and onboarding

We help agree the package and stay in touch while the new leader takes charge.

Your brief

Before we start searching

Strong operations managers become general managers and then directors. Hiring well builds that bench.

Senior notice periods can be long, so we plan the start date from the first conversation.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • The operation, its sites and its sector
  • The client or contract, if it is a 3PL operation
  • Service levels and key performance measures
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
