Director of Operations
This Director of Operations role offers the opportunity to step into a leadership position with clear ownership across supply chain, production, and site operations. You’ll join a growing deep-tech business at a point where scaling from low-volume production to manufacturing readiness is the key challenge — and where your input will directly shape how that happens. There is also a clear succession path, with current leadership planning a gradual transition over the coming years.
The role is based in Sheffield with 4 days per week on-site, and a relocation package is available. Salary starts from £70k+ with flexibility depending on experience.
Our client is a fast-growing technology company developing advanced hardware products. With strong technical foundations already in place, they are now focused on strengthening operational leadership to support growth, improve processes, and prepare for higher volume production.
