Operations Management Recruitment in Sale

We recruit the leaders who own the P&L, the contract and the people for Sale and the North West.

North West

Recruiting operations managers in Sale

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

Operations across the North West are connected by the M6, M62, M56 and M61, Manchester and Liverpool airports and the Port of Liverpool. 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.

Proven general managers at sites such as the M6, M62 and M58 corridor parks and the Port of Liverpool are usually approached directly.

How it works

From brief to start date

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.

Interviews and site visits

We arrange interviews, presentations and site visits, then brief each candidate beforehand.

Your brief

Before we start searching

Frequent changes at the top of a site show up in turnover, safety and service levels. Continuity steadies all three.

We describe the operation as it really runs, including the problems, so the new leader arrives ready for them.

A strong operations brief covers:

  • The operation, its sites and its sector
  • Headcount and the management team structure
  • Service levels and key performance measures
  • Salary, bonus and car allowance
