Operations Manager

An Operations Manager coordinates the daily running of a business or organisation. You might oversee activities such as staff recruitment and training, setting sales targets, managing budgets and organising resources. Operations Managers may also undertake strategic planning and provide direction to various other departments.

Operations Managers should have good leadership skills and excellent problem solving abilities. It's important that you are organised and can manage several tasks at one time. Operations Managers must be able to communicate with people from a range of backgrounds and be able to work well in a team environment.
