Upto £45,000
We’re partnering with a fast-scaling food manufacturing business that’s redefining how quality, health, and innovation meet in the sector. In just a few short years, they’ve grown into a thriving venture with thousands of loyal customers across the UK and ambitions to scale internationally.
This is an exciting opportunity for a Business Operations Associate to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the business. You’ll work closely with senior leadership, helping to bridge the gap between strategy and execution, and driving forward high-impact projects across operations, growth, and transformation.

- Develop scalable tools, processes, and systems that grow with the business
- Work cross-functionally with Ops, Data, Growth, and Customer teams to surface issues and craft solutions
- Influence stakeholders at all levels to implement sustainable change
This role is perfect for someone who thrives in fast-moving environments, enjoys problem-solving, and is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves or taking a strategic view.
About You
We’re looking for someone who brings:
- Strong communication and influencing skills
- A sharp, analytical mindset and love of solving complex problems
- Experience delivering projects at speed in ambiguous environments
- The ability to translate data into insights and action
- Excellent prioritisation and time management skills
- Resilience, drive, and the confidence to make decisions quickly
- A collaborative, structured, and methodical approach
- High energy and flexibility to adapt to changing priorities

- Lunch & Learn sessions on diverse topics
- Casual dress environment
- Birthday day off (or another day if it falls on a weekend)
