Hire the Best Operations Managers
in the United Kingdom
Harpenden, United Kingdom
Are you looking for someone to bring structure and clarity - and run operations - so you can focus on being CEO? Are you looking for someone to manage and improve your operations? Do you need someone to handle pressing projects or support your daily priorities? I am a COO with 15+ years of experience bridging the gap between vision and execution. I specialise in resolving scaling friction for founders by implementing the structures, clarity, and accountability needed to move from a "startup" mindset to a high-performance engine. Proven track record across 30+ projects in defining clear ownership, building SOP playbooks, and establishing real-time KPI visibility. I own the "How" of daily operations so leadership can reclaim their time to focus on the "Why" of strategy and growth. Examples of recent projects: Operational Turnaround: Restored profitability for a US-based firm by implementing cost discipline, margin management, and a new governance structure. Structure and Clarity: Established roles, roadmaps, and communication protocols for a French startup; increased team output by ~3x in two weeks by eliminating duplicate work and improving accountability. Operational Oversight: Owned end-to-end Finance, Sales, and Reporting processes (incl. Governance and KPIs), ensuring executive visibility and 100% accountability across remote teams. Core Competencies: Clarity & Structure: Defining roles, roadmaps, and SOP playbooks to eliminate scaling friction and ensure every team member understands their priorities. Execution & Visibility: Managing daily operations and accountability through OKR implementation, team syncs, and "single source of truth" dashboards (Asana/ClickUp) for real-time KPI tracking. Strategy & Growth: Leading business model innovation, rigorous P&L management, and venture architecture to secure long-term profitability and scalability.

Ecommerce Operations Manager and Shopify Developer | DTC Brands | Subscriptions and Logistics I build Shopify stores and run the operations behind them. Most people do one or the other. I do both, and that's what makes me useful to brands that are actually growing. For 4+ years I've been the sole ecommerce and operations manager at a UK meal kit subscription brand. Owning the Shopify stack, 150+ supplier relationships, cross-border logistics, subscription infrastructure, customer service, and retail distribution all at once. No team to hand things off to. On the development side I build custom Liquid templates, Shopify 2.0 sections and blocks, B2B wholesale setups, native bundle builds, theme customisations, and metafield configuration. I also handle app integrations across subscriptions, inventory, and fulfilment and make sure everything actually talks to each other. Some recent work: Full custom Horizon theme build for a UK pram resale brand. Dawn-based B2B wholesale store with gating and minimum order logic for a ceramics brand. Bilingual Arabic and English Shopify 2.0 store for a Kuwait children's brand, live in 5 days. 6,500+ SKU migration from X-Cart to Shopify with full freight tagging. At HomeCooks: 12.5% month on month revenue growth, 50% reduction in delivery costs, 15% reduction in operational costs, retail scaled from zero to 60+ locations. If you need someone who can build your store and keep it running, get in touch.

I build structure where none exists. I'm that right hand person you want on your side to manage, structure, and execute everything while you're busy expanding your business. I specialize in supporting both startups and well-established businesses. No matter what stage you're at, my motive is simple: to help you win. I take pride in helping my clients hit their targets, build systems that last, and move from chaos to clarity. Iโm a detail-oriented multi-tasker with a wide range of skills across operations, systems, and execution. Over time, my work has evolved from traditional VA support into Operations & Systems Management, where I help businesses not just run, but run efficiently and predictably. My passion lies in automation and AI and so, I LOVE to integrate AI tools (like ChatGPT, Claude) and automation platforms (Zapier, Notion) into operations, helping reduce manual work, improve decision-making, and create scalable workflows. I describe myself as self-motivated and solution-focused. I enjoy taking on messy, unstructured environments and turning them into clear, organized systems that teams can actually rely on. What I can help you with: โข Executive / Virtual Assistance (high-level support, not just task-based) โข Operations Management & Business Support โข Ecommerce Business Management (end-to-end including Inventory); Shopify, Woo commerce, Wix โข Project Management & Research โข Process Improvement & Workflow Design โข SOP Creation & Documentation (clear, scalable systems) โข AI-powered workflows (ChatGPT, Claude, automation design) โข Tool setup & optimization (Notion, CRMs, ClickUp, Asana, Monday, Zapier) โข Business systems setup (operations, knowledge bases, internal processes) โข Video editing (YouTube, explainers) & podcast audio editing โข People Operations and HR (This is my Forte when I work full-time) โข Helping founders get clarity and focus on what actually matters A strong strength of mine is communication - whether it's over email, calls, or async team collaboration. I work closely with founders and teams to ensure things donโt just get done, but get done right. Education & Background: I hold a degree in Computer Science, and I bring over 10 years of experience as a Virtual / Executive Assistant. Before freelancing, I worked as a Business Analyst / Project Manager, which shaped how I approach systems, problem-solving, and execution today. If you're looking for someone who can own operations, bring structure, and quietly make things run smoothly behind the scenes, weโll work well together. Nice to connect with you ๐
