The Hunt is excited to be partnering with Unite Health to find an experienced Operations Manager to play a key leadership role in the next chapter of this established health and education business.

Established in 2012, Unite Health is the exclusive provider of APPI Pilates teacher training across Australia and New Zealand and a leading provider of Pilates education.

As Unite Health continues to evolve, they're investing in their people, technology and systems to create a simpler, smarter and more scalable business.

This is an opportunity for an exceptional operator to come in, understand how the business works and help shape how it operates into the future.

What you'll be doing

Reporting to the General Manager, you'll lead the operational function and work across the business to turn strategy into action. You'll:

- Lead and develop two direct reports, creating clarity, accountability and strong ways of working

- Review existing systems and processes and identify opportunities to simplify, automate and improve

- Modernise manual and legacy processes using technology, AI, SaaS and automation

- Lead the implementation of LearnUpon, Unite Health's new Learning Management System, as a key initial project

- Lead operational projects and support the team through systems and process change

- Strengthen operational reporting, using data and advanced Excel capability to support planning and decision-making

- Provide operational oversight across course and program delivery

- Support the development and implementation of new courses, programs and products

- Build strong relationships across the Unite Health team, educator community, suppliers and external partners





- Partner closely with the General Manager to support Unite Health's continued growth

About you

You're an experienced operational leader who can move comfortably between the big picture and the detail.

You're naturally organised, calm and solutions focused. You love finding better ways of doing things and aren't afraid to question a process that's become unnecessarily complicated or manual.

You'll ideally bring:

- Demonstrated experience in an Operations Manager or similar operational role

- Strong people leadership experience

- Experience leading significant projects, systems implementations or operational change

- Excellent process-improvement capability

- Advanced Excel skills, with confidence analysing data, developing reports and supporting forecasting and planning

- Confidence working with technology and modern business systems

- Curiosity about AI, automation and how emerging tools can improve the way a business operates

- Strong project and change-management capability

- Exceptional organisation, attention to detail and follow-through

- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills

- The ability to work strategically while remaining hands-on in a growing business

- A genuine interest in health, wellness, movement or education

- Experience implementing an LMS or another business-critical technology platform would be highly regarded. Experience with LearnUpon would be an advantage,



but isn't essential.

The opportunity

A significant initial project will be leading the implementation of LearnUpon, including migration, testing, implementation and adoption.

But this isn't an LMS role.

Longer term, success is about helping Unite Health become simpler, smarter and less manual.

You'll have the opportunity to improve systems, introduce better ways of working, strengthen reporting, support new products and programs, develop your team and become a trusted operational partner to the General Manager.

Why Unite Health?

You'll join an established and respected health and education business at an exciting point in its evolution.

This is a role with genuine ownership and influence. You'll have the opportunity to make a lasting impact on how Unite Health operates while working alongside a close-knit team passionate about movement, education and creating an exceptional experience for their community.

You'll be based from Unite Health's beautiful new South Yarra location, with flexibility and hybrid working available.

If you're a smart, thoughtful operator who loves turning complexity into clarity, I'd love to hear from you.
