We’re a fast-growing Irish creative agency operating where education meets experience – delivering unforgettable campaigns, events, and programmes that drive real-world impact. With a talented core team of 50 and an extended crew of creatives and producers, we’re scaling fast and seeking people who thrive on finding smart solutions.

The Role: Head of Operations & Facilities

Are you someone who loves to solve problems before they become problems? We’re looking for a practical thinker and doer – someone who thrives on streamlining systems, optimising resources, and keeping things running like clockwork behind the scenes.

This isn’t just an office management role – it’s a pivotal leadership position focused on scaling our operations smartly and sustainably. You’ll work closely with senior leadership to drive operational excellence, fine-tune internal processes, and create an environment where our team can do their best work.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Overseeing all aspects of office and facilities operations, ensuring a safe, efficient, and inspiring work environment.
• Managing vendor relationships – negotiating great deals, streamlining supplier costs, and making sure we’re getting the best value.
• Identifying opportunities to reduce overheads and maximise resources.
• Designing and implementing systems and processes that support scale, clarity, and efficiency across the business.
• Coordinating internal logistics – from major event builds to the small stuff that keeps a team ticking.
• Acting as a go-to person for problem-solving – proactively tackling issues before they escalate.
• Collaborating with leadership to align operations with big-picture goals.
• Championing a culture of organisation, accountability, and continuous improvement.

What You’ll Bring

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in operations, logistics, or facilities management.
• A naturally solutions-focused mindset – you’re resourceful, adaptable, and calm under pressure.
• A proven ability to manage budgets, suppliers, and processes with efficiency and confidence.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills – you know how to get buy-in and bring people with you.
• Experience in creative, events, or fast-paced environments is a big plus.
• Comfortable working independently, taking initiative, and driving change.

Why Join Us?

• You’ll have a genuine impact in a growing company where your ideas are heard.
• Join a team that’s collaborative, creative, and unafraid to push boundaries.
• Enjoy flexible working and a dynamic, hybrid work culture.
• Competitive salary and meaningful work with a strong sense of purpose.
