About the Company

About the Role

The Operations Lead - UK owns the operational backbone of BJAK's UK business. You'll make sure daily operations, internal systems, and customer-facing execution run smoothly, efficiently, and at a standard that supports scale. This is not a P&L role, and it's not a manage from a distance role either. You'll partner closely with the CEO to turn business objectives into strong execution on the ground, building systems, leading teams, and stepping in directly when execution breaks.

Responsibilities

  • ● Define and execute operational strategies that support growth and align with BJAK's objectives in the UK market.
  • ● Run day-to-day operations across customer service, administrative operations, and internal workflows so execution stays frictionless.
  • ● Hire, lead, and develop a high-performing operations and admin team with a strong culture of ownership and accountability.
  • ● Own process improvement, finding bottlenecks, automating where possible, and implementing systems that cut cost and increase speed.
  • ● Lead the customer support function and step in hands-on during high-stakes or escalated cases.
  • ● Oversee company administration and internal operations, including office management, documentation, vendor coordination, and adherence to internal policies.

Requirements

  • ● Strong background in operations, execution, or internal business operations in tech, fintech, or fast-scaling environments.
  • ● Proven experience leading operations and admin teams in high-expectation environments.
  • ● Hands-on mindset with the ability to solve problems directly, not just delegate them.
  • ● Strong organisational, execution, and problem-solving skills.
  • ● Comfort operating in ambiguity and bringing structure to fast-moving situations.
  • ● Ability to work cross-functionally and drive execution without formal authority.
  • ● Strong English communication is required.
