There are a couple of reasons that will work well for us both:
You're an experienced operations professional and you're ready for a new opportunity - perhaps somewhere with a clear purpose, or operating in an interesting sector.
You're an organisational wizard with an attention to detail that is second to none. You manage the inner workings of your business to run as efficiently as it possibly can, and your keen eye for improvement allows you to implement changes that make a true difference to the way your team operates.
If you're nodding along, it sounds like you're in the right place.
We'll tell you why we're here.
We're experiencing incredible levels of internal growth at Acre. As you'd expect in those circumstances, we're working hard to ensure that each of our global offices are well equipped to keep up. In the Asia-Pacific region, in particular, we have a small but mighty team that's growing fast and we need someone to take charge of their processes to make things run as smoothly as possible.
Does this sound like you? Let's tell you more about it.
Firstly, we're a global recruitment business operating in the sustainability and climate change sectors. I'm sure this explains a little about why we're so busy - everyone is looking to tackle these problems head-on right now, but also need a recruitment partner that's well versed in these markets.
Fortunately, we've been doing this a long time - 18 years to be exact.
Now if you were to join us as an Operations Manager, what might the role look like on the day to day?
