Operations Manager We are seeking an enthusiastic, organised, and innovative professional to take the role of Operations Manager for the Proforest Group to help manage a period of growth and change as well as supporting the day to day operations of our offices in the UK, Malaysia, Brazil and Ghana. The Proforest Group combines both companies and registered non-profit organisations and the successful candidate would bring experience to support both. The main responsibilities will include leading on the development and implementation of effective internal systems across the group, managing human resources including the internal training programme and immigration and visas, and overseeing the administration and office support functions, particularly for the UK. About Proforest Proforest is a world leader in supporting the sustainable management and use of natural resources including forestry, oil palm, soy, sugar, coffee, beef and other agricultural commodities. Proforest works throughout the supply chain, supporting growers and governments in producing countries across Asia, Africa and South America in implementing more sustainable practices, while also working with the buyers, manufacturers and retailers to help them understand their supply chains better and source from more sustainable producers. This is a complex task, often in a challenging environment so we are very dependent on the effectiveness of our internal systems and support. Our staff are from many different countries and cultures and the successful candidate must be able to work with people from a wide range of different backgrounds and cultures. The working language of the company is English but fluency in one or more other languages is a major advantage. Position summary Based in Oxford, UK the position is an exciting opportunity to take responsibility for the day to day operations and drive the development of the group approach. The position also encompasses support for personnel and human resources. Proforest is a growing organisation so the role requires a dynamic and adaptive individual that can manage change.
