As the Operations manager, you will work alongside the Head of ADC Operations to manage the day to day, driving exceptional performance at the ADC, while leading change across the first 3 years of ADC operations.

Primary duties include:

- Proven experience in project management, change management, commercial awareness and managing key stakeholders.
- Continuous Improvement/LEAN six Sigma Training and experience required.
- Tertiary or equivalent management/logistics qualifications are highly regarded.

And because everyone leads unique lives, we offer flexible work including work from home, additional leave and parental leave entitlements.
