**Fully remote (UK-based) role with opportunity to travel all over the world a few times a year**
One-in-a-million opportunity to join a hugely collaborative team working for an independent School which aims to breach conventional educational styles and encourage its students to travel the world throughout the curriculum.
With a small cohort of just 30 students, the teenagers come from all over the globe, with excellent charitable endeavours to sponsor disadvantaged students as well.
This outstanding School is looking for a Head of Operations, a senior position in which you will be managing a small team of around 10.
You will be working across a number of functions, heading up Finances while also working with HR, IT, Marketing and Admissions, a very varied role indeed.
The ideal candidate will have/be:
- UK-based (from anywhere). This is a fully remote role (with some travel abroad).
- A travel-lover; you will be travelling 2-3 times a year (fully expensed), to anywhere from Botswana and Montenegro to South America to Japan – the sky’s the limit!
- Happy with time autonomy: there are no core hours, you will be trusted to manage your own time and, on occasion, be happy working alongside US time zones (starting later to compensate)
- Must have previous Operations Experience, experience in an Education environment would be strongly preferred but by no means essential
- Prior experience managing a team is a plus
- Highly numerate: experience working with the likes of Sage500 or Xero would be a bonus –you will be working alongside a bookkeeper and accountant to report on business finances, spot strategic opportunities and report into the board as a key member in the School’s future projections.
Excellent benefits package and working alongside an inspirational team, all of whom are so passionate about the work the are doing.
