Operations Management Recruitment in Newmarket

Hiring a general manager in Newmarket? We look at the P&L they have run and the teams they have built before anything else.

East of England

Permanent operations directors for Newmarket

Operations leaders are judged on service, cost, safety and the people who choose to stay. We recruit leaders who can show all four.

Newmarket draws on the East of England's port, forwarding and customs talent, concentrated along the A14 and M11. We recruit the general managers and operations directors who lead those operations.

Senior operations offers compete with every major operator in reach. We help set salary, bonus and car allowance so the offer lands.

Operations leadership roles across the East of England are spread across sites such as the Port of Felixstowe and the A14 corridor, Stansted and the parks along the A1 and M11.

Positions we place

From site leaders to operations directors

The people who own the service, the costs and the team.

What sets the desk apart

An operations desk, not a generalist agency

Client management

For contract logistics roles we look for leaders who have kept and grown a client relationship, not just hit the service levels.

Pay that reflects the role

We benchmark salary, bonus, car allowance and pension against comparable leadership roles before the search.

Leadership teams for mobilisations

For a new contract or site we can recruit the general manager and the senior team, timed to go-live.

What the market pays

What operations leaders earn in Newmarket

Indicative permanent salaries in Newmarket run from around £45k for operations managers up to £100k+ for operations directors.

What happens after you brief us

The brief

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

Your brief

What we ask at the start

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

When a leadership role is hard to fill, we identify whether the package, the location or the brief is the obstacle and say so.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • Turnover or budget under the role's control
  • The biggest problem the new leader must solve
  • Travel between sites and any relocation
  • Your interview process, including presentations
