We are looking for a senior, highly experienced, and accountable Business Operations Manager to be part of the Managing Director’s (MD) core team.

This is a critical leadership role within the MD’s command centre, responsible for driving execution across key business priorities. The role requires an individual with strong business judgment, the ability to operate independently, and the maturity to manage cross-functional coordination at a strategic and operational level.

This is a high-trust role within the MD’s core team, requiring strong ownership, sound judgment, and the ability to independently drive execution across the organization.

The ideal candidate will bring 15–20 years of experience, with a proven ability to take ownership, drive outcomes, and ensure seamless execution without constant oversight.

    Key Responsibilities

    • Drive execution of all MD-led initiatives across business operations, product development, and vendor coordination
    • Establish and maintain a structured system to track priorities, timelines, ownership, and outcomes
    • Lead cross-functional coordination across Sales, Purchase, Design, and Production teams
    • Conduct structured review meetings with departments to ensure progress, accountability, and closure
    • Proactively identify risks, delays, and bottlenecks, and take ownership of resolution
    • Translate MD’s strategic inputs into clear, actionable plans and briefs
    • Oversee product development workflows, including coordination on sampling, revisions, approvals, and finalization
    • Ensure alignment between design, sourcing, and execution teams
    • Work closely with purchase and related functions to support material planning and execution
    • Drive discipline in timelines and ensure delivery against committed plans

    Key Skills & Competencies

    • Strong ownership mindset with high accountability
    • Mature decision-making and problem-solving ability
    • Ability to operate independently with minimal supervision
    • Strong leadership in cross-functional coordination
    • Excellent planning, structuring, and execution capability
    • High attention to detail with a results-driven approach
    • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills

     

    What Success Looks Like

    • MD is freed from day-to-day follow-ups and operational tracking
    • All key initiatives are structured, tracked, and executed with discipline
    • Cross-functional teams are aligned and accountable
    • Product and operational timelines are consistently met
    • Issues are anticipated early and resolved without escalation

Qualifications

  • 15–20 years of experience in business operations, project management, or similar roles
  • Proven experience working closely with senior leadership or promoters
  • Experience in a fast-paced, execution-driven environment
  • Strong understanding of product, sourcing, and production workflows preferred
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Management, or a related field
