The candidate will also represent the business at vital external meetings, maintain strong local relationships with all government bodies and ensure compliance with local authorities.
The candidate will be required to manage staff, provide mentoring, coaching, and regular feedback, and supervise and lead staff performance using the company performance review guidelines, taking care of issues as required. They will also partner with HR to recruit, interview, and coordinate the training of staff, maintain accurate employee records, and ensure all required employee/freelance staff administration is completed.
As the operations manager you will partner with the Finance Manager to monitor annual cost and capex budgets, review and comment on monthly P&L expenses and assist in reforecasting, and drive local and ancillary review to meet budgets.
