Operations Manager Jobs in the UK: Everything you need to know

Are you looking for operations manager jobs? Michael Page can help. We work with top employers across the UK to connect talented operations managers with job opportunities that perfectly match their skills and experience. 

Whether you’re just starting your career or are a seasoned professional, we can help you find the right operations manager jobs to match your skills and interests.

The role of an operations manager

The operations manager job description is broad; generally an operations manager is tasked with managing all activities involved in producing the goods and/or services of a business - from beginning to end.

Professionals in operational manager jobs must oversee operational activities at every level of a business, including people, strategy, budget, project delivery, and - of course - general operations. Duties will often include supporting the business’ production process by implementing and tracking KPIs. Day-to-day tasks can be as varied as managing stock control, documenting processes for external regulatory purposes, supporting the CEO’s vision and training employees.  

Operations managers are responsible for ensuring their company’s product or service meets or exceeds customer expectations. This can be achieved in myriad ways - from hiring new staff and training existing employees to testing and refining systems and workflows. 

People in operations manager jobs will typically manage a team and take responsibility for staffing and training, while working closely with departments across the business - meaning people management and communication skills are vital.

The day-to-day duties of an operations manager vary wildly depending on the sector they work in, the size of their organisation, and their level of seniority. Junior operations managers may work under senior operations managers and gradually take on more responsibility. 

While operations manager roles may typically be 9-5, overtime is often inevitable as the operations manager is responsible for the overall smooth running of the business.  

Our Services

At Michael Page, we offer a range of services to help you find the perfect operations manager job, including:

  • Access to our vast network of job opportunities with leading employers
  • Personalised career advice from our experienced consultants
  • Assistance with CV and interview preparation
  • Help with salary negotiations and job offers

Our Jobs

We have a variety of operations manager jobs available across the UK, from junior to senior level positions. Whether you’re interested in working in marketing, healthcare, or technology, we can help you find the perfect operational manager job to match your skills and interests.

FAQs

What qualifications do I need to become an operations manager?

The qualifications needed to become an operations manager varies significantly depending on the seniority and type of the role. However, a university degree in a subject such as administration, management, or operations management will prove useful for candidates seeking such roles. If you’re aiming to specialise in a specific sector then other qualifications may be necessary - such as an industrial engineering degree for a role at a construction firm.

What skills does an operations manager need to have?

Operations managers always require exceptional people and project management skills, as well as excellent IT skills. However, with such a broad remit, a wide range of skills are necessary, from leadership and time management to decision-making and data processing. Problem solving skills are a must, along with planning and organising, teamwork and negotiation. 

What are the main responsibilities of an operations manager?

An operations manager must ensure the smooth running of their organisation. They must set up workflows and processes to ensure maximum efficiency and cost effectiveness and make sure the business is compliant with any legal or industry regulations. Their wide-ranging responsibilities are ultimately intended to ensure the business remains profitable, or grows. 

Can you get an operations management job with no experience?

It is unlikely a candidate with no business experience at all would get an operations management job - but that experience does not strictly need to be within a previous operations manager position. Working in human resources, financial management, project management, quality control, or health and safety could give a budding operations manager the transferable skills they need to make a success of the role. Meanwhile, building up skills including teamwork, problem-solving, planning, leadership, and interpersonal skills will help candidates seem more attractive to hiring managers.

How to get a job in operations management

If you’re an operations manager looking for your next opportunity, Michael Page can help. Our team of experts can connect you with the best employers in the UK, and help you find the perfect operations manager job to match your skills and ambitions.
