Head of Group Operations – £70-£80k +bonus – Exhibition and Trade show Company – Health and Sport specialists – London and WFH
If you’re ready to run operations instead of being run by operations, keep reading.
Because at some point in your career, you move from doing operations to overseeing operations.
And this is exactly that moment.
Maybe you’re tired of being the problem solver, the firefighter, the person everyone goes to when things hit the fan, yet you still don’t actually get to make the decisions.
Maybe you’re ready for scale.
Maybe you want autonomy.
Maybe you want to step up and be the person who sets the standard, not the person who picks up the pieces.
Or maybe, you simply want a job where you are not crawling under a registration desk at 4am muttering “never again” for the ninth year in a row.
This role solves all of that as you’ll be the strategic lead for nine global tradeshows.
Different sectors.
Different footfall.
Different headaches.
Different audiences
Different stakeholders
Different needs
Different rewards
Each show already has Ops Managers and Event Directors doing the doing.
Your job is to make sure they are aligned, calm, competent, supported and delivering at a consistently high level.
You’re basically the quality filter.
The escalation point.
The person who sees the bigger picture and keeps the whole machine moving.
And yes, you are the big cheese. Without needing to act like one.
Here’s your “what’s in it for me?”
👉 Full autonomy to shape how operations run across a global portfolio
👉 A strategic seat where people actually listen to you
👉 The authority to make decisions, not just enforce them
👉 The chance to mentor, guide and level up Ops Managers and Event Directors
👉 Scale and scope that pushes you without burning you out
👉 The freedom to focus on excellence rather than firefighting
👉 Recognition for leading, not just coping
This is the difference between being indispensable and being influential.
If you want the next chapter of your ops career to be about leadership, autonomy and impact, click apply and let’s have a confidential chat.
Who know where it will take you.
