About Stage Connections
Stage Connections is one of the Midlands' leading AV production companies, delivering conferences, exhibitions and live events across the UK. We pride ourselves on providing first-class equipment and service, and we're looking for an Operations Manager to help keep everything running efficiently behind the scenes.
This is a hands-on management role where you'll oversee the day-to-day running of our warehouse, coordinate logistics and lead the warehouse team to ensure every job leaves on time and to the highest standard.
The Role
You'll be responsible for the smooth operation of our busy AV warehouse, making sure equipment is prepared correctly, vehicles are organised efficiently and the team is working together effectively.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Managing the day-to-day operation of the warehouse
- Leading and supporting our Warehouse Manager and warehouse team
- Managing onsite technicians while they're working in the warehouse
- Planning vehicle movements and organising logistics
- Coordinating equipment preparation for multiple events
- Overseeing the loading and unloading of vehicles
- Improving warehouse systems and processes
- Maintaining accurate stock control and warehouse organisation
- Ensuring high standards of health and safety
- Working closely with our Project Managers to make sure every job is delivered on time
What We're Looking For
You'll be someone who enjoys taking ownership, leading people and making improvements.
Ideally you'll have:
- Previous experience managing a warehouse or logistics operation
- Strong leadership and people management skills
- Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
- The ability to prioritise and work well under pressure
- A proactive attitude and willingness to get stuck in when needed
- Good IT skills and confidence using warehouse or logistics systems
- A full UK driving licence
- Confidence driving vans and moving equipment between venues when required
- Flexibility to work occasional evenings, weekends and unsociable hours, as the events industry doesn't always fit into a 9-5 schedule
- Willingness to work overtime during busy periods when required
Experience within the AV or events industry is essential.
We're looking for someone who leads by example and isn't afraid to roll their sleeves up. This is a hands-on role where you'll be expected to work alongside the team when needed, helping ensure every project leaves the warehouse on time and to the highest standard.
