Reporting to the General Manager, you'll lead the operational function and work across the business to turn strategy into action. You'll:
n
n
Lead and develop two direct reports, creating clarity, accountability and strong ways of working
n
Review existing systems and processes and identify opportunities to simplify, automate and improve
n
Modernise manual and legacy processes using technology, AI, SaaS and automation
n

n
About you
n
You're an experienced operational leader who can move comfortably between the big picture and the detail.
n
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.
n
You'll ideally bring:
n
n
Demonstrated experience in an Operations Manager or similar operational role
n
Strong people leadership experience
n
Experience leading significant projects, systems implementations or operational change
n
Excellent process-improvement capability
n
Advanced Excel skills, with confidence analysing data, developing reports and supporting forecasting and planning
n
Confidence working with technology and modern business systems
n
Curiosity about AI, automation and how emerging tools can improve the way a business operates
n
Strong project and change-management capability
n
Exceptional organisation, attention to detail and follow-through
n
Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
n
The ability to work strategically while remaining hands-on in a growing business
n
A genuine interest in health, wellness, movement or education
n
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.
n
n
The opportunity
n
A significant initial project will be leading the implementation of LearnUpon, including migration, testing, implementation and adoption.
n
But this isn't an LMS role.
n
Longer term, success is about helping Unite Health become simpler, smarter and less manual.
n
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.
n
Why Unite Health?
n
You'll join an established and respected health and education business at an exciting point in its evolution.
n
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.
n
You'll be based from Unite Health's beautiful new South Yarra location, with flexibility and hybrid working available.
n
If you're a smart, thoughtful operator who loves turning complexity into clarity, I'd love to hear from you.
n
About The Hunt
n
The Hunt is a Melbourne-based talent consultancy partnering with growing businesses across wellness, lifestyle and professional services.
n
We believe great recruitment is about more than filling a role. It's about understanding the people, culture and opportunity behind it and creating thoughtful, long-term matches between exceptional people and businesses.
n
I'll be personally partnering with Unite Health throughout this search and look forward to hearing your story.
