What Is an Operations Manager?

An operations manager’s responsibilities can vary enormously from one company to the next, and from one industry sector to another. One commonality to look for when hiring an operations manager, however, should be their conscious drive towards a business’s productivity through the ongoing management and monitoring of central business activity.

An operations manager will likely manage and lead a team of HR, IT and/or financial support staff through effective overseeing and performance management. With a focus on quality control and compliance, they oversee the optimisation of a business’s operational productivity.

Benefits of Hiring an Operations Manager

Benefits of Hiring an Operations Manager

There are numerous benefits to hiring an operations manager for your organisation. Firstly, an operations manager performs a key role in facilitating the day-to-day running of an organisation, working closely with the leadership team and HR to streamline processes, launch initiatives, and identify areas for operational improvement across the business.

A quality operations manager can offer value by helping to set KPIs and making data-driven decisions to continually improve operations and the overall output of employees. Operations managers are adept at both big picture and short-term planning, ensuring effective use of resources, and fostering efficiency across the organisation.
