We’re Hiring: Operations Manager

Location: Thetford

Excitement level: Off the charts

Brand-new department. Groundbreaking technology. A chance to shape the future.

We’re making a major investment in innovation: launching a state-of-the-art, purpose-built compounding department in Thetford.

This is not business as usual. We’re introducing semi-automation to transform productivity, reduce manual processes, and lead the way in compounding excellence where you will be providing patients with life saving chemotherapy and antibiotics.

Now all we need is you — a proven leader ready to take the reins.

The Role:

As our new Operations Manager, you’ll build and lead a brand-new team in a highly regulated GMP environment.

You’ll be the engine behind our operational processes, collaborating across functions, developing capacity plans, and ensuring we meet the highest regulatory standards.

What you’ll drive:

• Leadership of day-to-day compounding operations
• Cross-functional collaboration with QA, engineering, and supply chain
• Capacity planning and resource optimization
• Continuous improvement projects (Lean, Six Sigma – we love it!)
• Budget and financial performance
• Building a strong, high-performing team from the ground up

Who we’re looking for:

Someone with:

• Leadership experience in pharmaceuticals or medical devices (GMP is a must!)
• Passion for process improvement and operational excellence
• A leader able to motivate and drive a team
• Financial acumen and strong analytical mindset
• A team-first mentality and the drive to make things happen under tight timelines

You’ll be joining a collaborative culture, working alongside two other top-tier Operations Managers, and shaping a department from scratch,

with brand-new equipment and a strong leadership team behind you.

If this sounds like your kind of challenge then apply today. We cant wait to hear from you!
