Operations Manager - advice?

Hi there,

I have been doing a variety operations functions in multiple jobs and would like to progress to an Operations Manager role within a justice focused organisation after my current job. Is anyone an Ops Manager or works with them and would be up for having a quick chat or can post any advice as a reply to this?

I am trying to build a picture of the skills and attributes necessary and any training/ courses that might help me progress towards this more, though I do think I have a lot of the skills and knowledge necessary for a lot of Ops roles.

Thanks,

Lykke

Hello,

for me to get a clearer understanding of your query…

are you more so focusing on social justice and advocacy, law enforcement, or other forms of instituitional or systemic issues around justice ?

Hi Lykke,
I am Head of Operations for a charity. I’d be happy to have a call. In short, if I was recruiting for an operations manager I would be looking for the usual strong administrative skills but also leadership potential, and an ability to show that they have a strong interest in working in the sector. This sometimes looks like volunteering.

Hi Louise

I’d love to have a chat - I’m currently Ops lead and am keen to know how different orgs interpret the role subject to org ethos and size.
