We’re seeking an Operations Manager who’s not just a logistics expert but a people developer, visionary, and tech enthusiast. Your mission: relocate, set up, and grow our Victoria facility—not by starting from scratch but by evolving and scaling what’s already in place.

**About us**

CHILL solves last-mile refrigerated business problems for clients who want to be market leaders. We help our clients bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to go with proven logistic strategies.

This is your chance to make a lasting impact. It will suit someone passionate about business operations, customer satisfaction, productivity improvements, ensuring profitable growth, excellence in operations, and employee growth and performance while providing a safe work environment for everyone.

The position involves collaborating closely with the senior leadership team to support our growth strategy. It focuses on four key pillars: productivity and profit, people, planet, and our business model. Our strategy is centred around the purpose of "**doing cool things better"** and our CHILLERS values.

**What You'll Do**:

- **Growth and Scalability**: Business development. Driving initiatives to evolve and expand the facility, aligning with company growth objectives.
- **Team Leadership**: Foster a cohesive, high-performance culture by placing the right people in the right roles and mentoring them for success.
- **Budget and Resource Management**: Actively manage budgets and resource allocation to meet operational and financial goals.
- **Process Optimisation**: Implement improvements that enhance operational efficiency, quality, and productivity KPI's.
- **Safety and Compliance**: Ensure a safe and compliant workplace by maintaining health and safety standards.
- **Client Satisfaction**: Guarantee quality control and exceptional service, delighting clients with every order.

**Requirements**:

- Implement strategic vision with a strong focus on execution
- 7 Years mins. Proven ability to lead, mentor, and develop teams while adapting to change
