Operations Manager

We are working with a Surrey based Interior Design agency to help them find a Operations Manager to help run their busy studio. This is an office based role that offers no hybrid working.
 
This is a broad role with a core focus of ensuring that the agency functions in a smooth way.
 
You will focus on a number of key areas:
 
Facilities Management – maintain the upkeep of the studio and showroom, including co-ordinating repairs, and managing lease renewals including negotiating with the landlord.
 
Legal and Company administration – co-ordinating contract renewals with lawyers, negotiating insurance renewals and ensuring compliance with GDPR and other ISO accreditation.
 
Logistics Co-ordination – liaising with their offices in the Middle East and ensuring efficient and cost effective delivery of freight and packages including negotiating competitive delivery costs and timely delivery.
 
Supplier and Vendor Management – negotiating deals, and managing the relationship with all suppliers and vendors to ensure the best possible deal for the agency.
 
Team Management – day to day management and support of a small admin team.
 
Essentially, you will be the go to person with regard to anything that is happening within the agency from an operational perspective.
 
This is an exciting opportunity and requires an individual with a strong operational background within a creative agency environment, someone who is quick and keen to learn, is enthusiastic, can multi-task and is a real people person, as well as a tough negotiator!
 
If you have the skills outlined above then we would be keen to hear from you.
