# Trainee Operations Manager **Little Willow** · Manchester M15 5FE · `On-site` 🕒 **Статус:** *Опубликовано: сегодня* · *Источник: Indeed* --- ### About the Role Location: Manchester Role: Trainee Operations Manager (Full-time) You are the person who instinctively looks at how a process works and figures out how to make it smoother. When a project or shift gets hectic, you don't panic, you spot the bottlenecks, organize the workload, and keep everyone focused on getting the job done efficiently. If you have a methodical mindset and want to build a career in business operations, logistics, and team coordination, this full-time role in Manchester provides a clear structured pathway. We are scaling our regional hub and are looking for a Trainee Operations Manager to master our day-to-day workflow from the ground up, with a view to managing key operational functions independently.

Your responsibilities will include: Monitoring daily operational workflows to ensure service levels and delivery timelines are met. Assisting with staff scheduling, shift planning, and resource allocation across departments. Tracking inventory levels, logging equipment movement, and handling supplier dispatches. Analyzing performance data and daily activity logs to identify operational inefficiencies. Working with line supervisors to enforce health, safety, and compliance standards on site. Coordinating cross-departmental handovers between administrative, customer, and field teams. Preparing weekly operational reports and KPI summaries for management reviews. Learning to handle operational escalations, logistics delays, and facility requirements. What We Look For We place far more value on clear thinking, organization, and a practical approach to problem-solving than on previous management titles. We are looking for: A structured, analytical approach to work with high attention to detail. Strong communication skills and the confidence to direct tasks and support colleagues. Calm decision-making under pressure when schedules or priorities change. Proficiency with spreadsheets, management software, and digital reporting tools. A proactive work ethic and a desire to understand every moving part of a business. Previous experience in logistics, administration, retail supervision, hospitality, customer support, or university project coordination is a plus, but not essential as full training is provided.

You will spend your first few months rotating through key operational stations to understand how our ground-level processes work. Through weekly one-to-one coaching with senior management, you will learn operational planning, cost controls, and team management techniques. As your grasp of our workflows develops, you will take ownership of specific shift operations, logistics tracking, and process improvement projects.
