Operations Manager

About Us

OzRoll is an Australian, private family owned manufacturer and wholesaler now in our 26th year. Our core product, roller shutters, sees us recognised as the industry leader, and our Adelaide facility also produces a range of outdoor blinds under our Slidetrack brand. We distribute nationally and export around the world. We also have a second manufacturing facility on the Gold Coast; this role won't be responsible for that site, but will work closely with it.

Across the group we employ over 200 people and this role will be accountable for more than a quarter of that workforce. We're a business with genuine momentum. We have clear ambitions for growth as well as real opportunities for efficiency improvement, and we're looking for a leader who wants to be part of building what comes next.

The Opportunity

We're creating a new Senior Operations role for our South Australian site, and it's a rare opportunity to take genuine ownership of a growing operation. This isn't a role where you'll be managing someone else's system, you'll be building accountability, driving performance, and shaping how our SA site runs day to day, with five departments reporting directly to you: Supply Chain, Production, Warehouse, Quality Assurance, and Manufacturing.

Reporting directly to our COO, the opportunities around this role are significant, because the opportunities for the business are significant. We're intentionally looking for someone who wants to grow with us for the long term.

What You'll Be Doing

• Owning the day-to-day operational performance of the SA site across five functional areas
• Leading, developing, and holding accountable five direct reports, including experienced senior department leads
• Driving efficiency, waste reduction, and labour optimisation across production and warehouse operations
• Owning quality outcomes and inventory performance, including stock days and slow-moving product
• Chairing regular department meetings and driving structured performance management
• Working closely with our Business Development Manager on logistics, transport, and site-related customer issues
• Getting genuinely hands-on, this role is structured to keep you connected to the floor, not stuck behind a desk

What We're Looking For

• A proven track record in production and manufacturing, inventory management, or ideally both
• A genuine, demonstrated track record of leading people, not just managing a process
• Prior experience as a General Manager, Operations Manager, or equivalent level is desirable, but open to all strong candidates. If you've been ready for this step and haven't had the shot yet, we want to hear from you
• Above all, we're looking for a leader. We are intentionally hiring a personality and a mindset, not just a skill set, someone who can lead other senior people, not just floor staff, and who has a track record that proves it
• Some exposure to IT processes as they relate to manufacturing resource planning (MRP) systems is valuable, as paperless production and augmented manufacturing processes are becoming more prevalent

Why Join Us

This is a long-term opportunity in a business that's genuinely growing. You'll be shaping how the SA site runs from close to the ground floor, with a great deal of autonomy. If you've got the leadership ability and the operational track record, and you're ready to take real ownership, we'd love to hear from you.
