Operations Manager - Outdoor Cooking Location: Abingdon New Business Operations Manager Office based – Abingdon Salary: £40,000 - £46,000 12-month FTC Your Responsibilities You will build the operating model for our newest category in Great Britain, from workflows and handovers to clear decision points across the launch setup. In close collaboration with sales, logistics, service and marketing, you make sure the new category fits into existing Miele processes without losing speed or clarity. Where current structures do not fully support the launch, you define practical processes that help the business move forward without creating unnecessary complexity. Across internal teams, you coordinate the operational setup and keep responsibilities, dependencies and next steps visible. Open questions, risks and launch dependencies get your attention early, so teams can make decisions before issues slow down execution. With a strong eye for detail, you track decisions and follow-up actions to make sure operational topics move from discussion into delivery. As the category grows, you improve workflows, so the setup stays efficient, scalable and reliable for customers and internal teams What we are looking for You bring a degree in business administration, operations management, supply chain, commercial management or a comparable qualification. Relevant experience in sales operations, commercial excellence, process design, operations management or a similar field helps you turn plans into workable structures. A strong understanding of end-to-end operational processes and system integration allows you to spot gaps before they become launch problems. In unclear situations, you create structure, align stakeholders and keep progress moving even when requirements still change. Experience with Miele processes, systems or operational structures will give you a helpful head start in this role. A background in launching or integrating a new product category helps you understand the pressure, pace and cross-functional alignment this role needs. Additional knowledge in project management, process improvement, lean management or operational excellence supports your ability to build scalable ways of working.
