Business Operations Manager

About Gregory Walker

Gregory Walker is a specialist recruitment agency focused on the Food & Drink Manufacturing industry. We are a growing, ambitious business, and we are looking for someone to help keep the day-to-day operations running smoothly.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to build a career in business operations. You don’t need years of experience. We are happy to train the right person.

The Role

As Business Operations Manager, you will work closely with the Directors and recruitment team to manage the day-to-day running of the business.

You will be the person who keeps things organised, makes sure processes are followed and helps the team get things done.

This is a hands-on role. You will be based in our Holborn office for most of the week and will be expected to get stuck into the detail rather than just manage from a distance.
