Imagine this: You step into your car with a coffee in hand, ready to start the day not as a cog in the machine, but as a key driver of growth, support, and connection across a small group of early learning services.
As our next Business Operations Manager, you’ll play a hands-on leadership role across a tight-knit small portfolio of services in NSW (Sydney region). You’ll work closely with a group of passionate Service Managers, offering both commercial and operational support, with the backing of a growing organisation that’s big enough to make an impact but agile enough for you to be seen, heard, and valued.
This is your chance to be part of something real, with regular networking opportunities, leadership coaching, and direct access to decision-makers, you'll help shape the future of our services while shaping your own career.
