Operations Director

A fast-scaling, AI-enabled property technology business is hiring an Operations Director - Integrations to lead one of the most critical functions within the company.

Backed by leading investors and growing rapidly through acquisition, the business is building a modern, technology-enabled platform across a fragmented industry. Integrations sit at the centre of that strategy, and this role will own the operational engine that turns acquired businesses into a unified, scalable group.

This is not a traditional programme management role. The business is looking for a highly operational leader who is comfortable being inside acquired companies, solving real operational problems and leading from the front.

Role: Operations Director - Integrations

Salary: £110,000 - £140,000 + 20% bonus + meaningful share options

Location: London (Moorgate) with extensive UK travel

Travel: Typically 3 days per week onsite within acquired businesses

What you’ll be doing:

  • Lead and build the integrations function across a growing acquisition portfolio
  • Manage and develop a team of Integrations Managers, setting a highly hands-on operational culture
  • Take ownership of post-acquisition stabilisation across newly acquired businesses
  • Embed within businesses to understand workflows, operational challenges and inefficiencies first-hand
  • Drive operational transformation including process redesign, technology rollout and margin improvement
  • Lead initiatives across systems consolidation, shared services and operational standardisation
  • Work closely with finance and leadership teams to deliver target-state operational and commercial outcomes
  • Oversee supplier consolidation, workflow improvements and operational restructuring where required
  • Continuously improve the integrations playbook as the business scales

What you’ll need:

  • Strong operational leadership experience within integrations, transformation, multi-site operations or acquisitive businesses
  • Experience leading hands-on operational change rather than purely reporting or programme oversight
  • Commercial and financial understanding with the ability to work closely against operational P&L performance
  • Experience building and managing high-performing operational teams
  • Comfortable operating in fast-moving, high-ambiguity environments
  • Strong stakeholder management skills across leadership teams and operational staff
  • Willingness to travel extensively across the UK and spend significant time onsite within businesses
  • Experience within property, facilities, professional services or operationally complex service businesses is highly beneficial

This role would suit a highly operational leader who enjoys being close to the detail, solving complex integration challenges and building scalable operational systems within a fast-growth environment.
