Job Title: Operations Manager / Director
Based At: EMSL, Primarily Remote / Hertfordshire
Reports To: Managing Director
Are you eager to partner closely with the Owner/MD, playing a pivotal role in evolving our agency from its current scale to a significant player in the website and software development market?
Do you excel in nurturing client relationships and creating and leading teams to deliver exceptional digital projects?
Are you looking for a role where you can directly influence the success and direction of a growing agency, implementing innovative operational strategies?
The Operations Manager / Director is a very senior role in the agency, providing strategic leadership and taking direct accountability for the smooth running of the business operations and quality of its output.
Working very closely with the Managing Director, the Operations Director will make important and wide-ranging contributions to the business strategy as the agency reinvents itself to focus exclusively on creating websites and software.
Using a high level of expertise and experience, the Operations Director will lead an initially very small but fast-growing remote team of primarily UK based website designers and developers, overseeing the entire delivery function of the business. They will be running the project management & production functions of the agency, with a focus on ensuring successful delivery of all client projects.
Working with authority and professionalism, they will have genuine ambition to upskill and to grow the team quickly, as part of a wider business strategy for growth. There will be a strong focus on continually developing and improving the team itself, the project processes and the working practices of the company in line with agreed business goals.
Although this is a non-technical role, a good understanding of how websites and web applications are designed, structured and coded including a strong grasp of user experience and interface is important.
With an overall responsibility for the agency’s output and deliverables, they will be accountable for the project management and quality control functions of the business, including strategic direction of those disciplines. They will not be reluctant to get stuck in at a tactical level, particularly in the early days, and will also offer support to the Managing Director in pitching and proposal work.
The Operations Director will be the linchpin between our clients and our technical team, responsible for client liaison and overseeing the delivery of high-quality service and solutions. They should expect to be involved in key management decisions, sharing knowledge and be totally comfortable owning the entire production process, as the heartbeat of the agency.
Skills & Qualifications:
A word from Matt, Owner & MD at EMSL.
Following some successes in other projects (and some challenges too!) I am now embarking on the next chapter for myself and my businesses. I am looking for the right person to join me.
In my experience, the ‘right’ person doesn’t always tick every box in the job description. But they have a spark about them, a strong will and a desire to succeed.
We’re small right now, but I have big plans. Ultimately, I need a partner to help me to achieve them. Someone who likes a challenge, knows how to work and how to have some fun too. If that sounds like you, I’d love to meet you for a chat.
