UK General Manager
I'm recruiting for a game-changing senior operations role in the UK! I'm currently partnering with a rapidly scaling health-tech organisation that's building the operational backbone behind one of the fastest-growing direct-to-patient healthcare models in the market. Their mission is bold, their growth is exceptional, and they're now looking for a UK General Manager to lead a next-generation fulfilment and pharmacy operation.This is an opportunity to take full ownership of a high-performance site and scale it from 4,000 to 35,000+ orders per day - designing the systems, processes, culture, and physical flow needed to make that possible. What this role involves: * Leading and developing a large on-site operations team * Designing and optimising end-to-end workflows (receiving dispensing checking packing dispatch) * Ensuring cold-chain integrity and high-value inventory security * Driving throughput, reducing error rates, and improving SLAs * Building automation-ready processes and evaluating practical tooling * Owning day-to-day performance across a fast-moving, patient-critical environment * Creating a scalable operational model that can support multiple future sites Who this would suit: Someone who has scaled a fulfilment or distribution centre to 10k+ daily orders, thrives in complex live operations, and brings strong leadership in people management, process engineering, and UK parcel-carrier logistics (DPD, Royal Mail, etc.). A startup mindset - structured, decisive, and comfortable with rapid change - is essential. Why this role is exciting: You'll be building the physical and logistical engine room of a company experiencing extraordinary growth, backed by world-class investors and working at the cutting edge of healthcare, logistics, and technology.If you're an operational leader who loves turning chaos into clarity - and scaling high-velocity environments without compromising quality - I'd love to speak with you.
