Head of Operations - High-Growth Start-Up £70,000 - £80,000 + 15% bonus + potential equity Zachary Daniels is delighted to be partnering with an ambitious, fast-growing start-up to appoint a Head of Operations at a pivotal stage of its growth. This is a brilliant opportunity for an energetic, commercially minded and ambitious operator who wants genuine responsibility and the chance to help build something.

You'll be expected to make things happen.About You We're looking for someone with energy, ambition and a genuine appetite to make an impact.

You'll have significant autonomy, direct exposure to the founder, the opportunity to build systems from the ground up and the potential to develop the operational function as the company grows. You'll see the impact of your work quickly and your own opportunity will grow alongside the business. If you're looking for a role where everything is already established, this probably isn't for you. If you're looking for a career-defining opportunity where you can build, influence and grow, we'd love to hear from you.Package Up to £80,000 basic salary + 15% annual performance bonus Potential long-term incentive/equity opportunity after one year, subject to performance and company approval.BBBH37117
