Operations Manager (City Of Bristol) - #1734273

Operations Manager – Lead Transformation. Drive Excellence.

[Location] | Mon–Fri, Days Only | Team Size: ~35 (incl. 2 Supervisors, 1 Engineer)

Medical Device Manufacturing | Full-Time

Be at the Heart of Change. Architect the Future.

I'm looking for an experienced and proactive Operations Manager to lead a once-in-a-generation transformation at the core of our UK operations.

This unique role starts with 4–5 months of project-based leadership—overseeing the setup and relocation to a brand-new, purpose-built facility. Once live, you’ll take full ownership of day-to-day operations, managing both people and machines in a system you helped design.

This is your chance to make a lasting impact—not only on our operations but on healthcare outcomes worldwide.

What You’ll Do

Phase 1 – Project Leadership

• Lead the transition from our existing site to a new state-of-the-art facility.


• Coordinate with internal stakeholders and external partners.


• Oversee installation, commissioning, and validation of new production lines.

Phase 2 – People & Operations Management

• Manage a close-knit team of ~35, including 2 Supervisors and 1 Engineer.


• Run day-to-day manufacturing, packing, warehouse, and dispatch operations.


• Integrate legacy and cutting-edge automated systems.


• Drive KPIs across cost, quality, safety, efficiency, and waste.

What You Bring

Proven experience in operations/project management within regulated manufacturing.

Hands-on knowledge of facility setup and production line implementation.

Strong leadership across production, logistics, and packaging teams.

Confident communication and stakeholder management skills.

Results-driven mindset with a passion for continuous improvement.

A MedTech, Pharma or Food production background would be a bonus but is not essential.

Why Join?

Impact – You’ll shape the future of our manufacturing strategy.

Culture That Attracts Talent – The Senior Leadership Team is deeply engaged, open, and committed to supporting innovation, inclusion, and growth. It’s no accident that recent hires consistently cite the culture as a key reason they joined—and stayed.

A trusted leadership team and supportive, collaborative environment.

Work-life balance – Enjoy a rare days-only, Mon–Fri schedule.

Growth – Join during a pivotal growth phase, with opportunities to grow alongside us.
