Studio Ore is hiring an operations manager to join its team in London.

Central London, full-time, competitive salary depending on experience.

Studio Ore is a British design and manufacturing company known for creating refined brass bathroom fittings and architectural hardware. Our products are made with an uncompromising commitment to quality, craftsmanship and timeless design – and are specified by leading architects and designers across the globe.

As our international presence continues to grow, we are looking for a highly capable and proactive operations manager to support our founder and take on a key role in the next stage of our development.

About the role

This is a pivotal position at the heart of a fast-growing business. You’ll work closely with the founder and management team to manage and streamline the day-to-day operations of the company – from logistics and infrastructure to international office and showroom expansion.

You’ll be a natural problem solver, able to juggle multiple tasks, handle time-sensitive decisions, and put in place the systems and processes that will support our continued international growth. No two days will be the same – one moment you might be coordinating with a shipping partner, the next managing suppliers or planning a new showroom fit-out abroad.

Key fesponsibilities:

• oversee and improve day-to-day operational processes across logistics, supply chain, infrastructure, and international expansion
• act as a point of contact for software and systems providers, ensuring we have the right tools to grow efficiently
• support and coordinate showroom and office openings abroad – liaising with teams in different time zones and managing timelines and budgets
• work directly with the founder to manage a wide range of tasks and projects – from supplier onboarding to operational strategy
• maintain strong communication with our own manufacturing plant in Northern Italy
• identify opportunities to streamline and improve how the business runs at every level

What we’re looking for:

• degree-level education, with a minimum of three years’ experience in a similar operations role, ideally within a small, fast-growing company
• highly organised, adaptable, and comfortable working under pressure
• a proactive and pragmatic mindset – you enjoy solving problems and getting things done
• excellent communication skills – fluent English essential, with Italian fluency highly desirable
• confident managing multiple projects at once and working closely with senior
  leadership
• familiarity with logistics, software/systems, and operational infrastructure
• a genuine interest in design, craftsmanship, and supporting a brand with a creative edge

What we offer:

• a central role in a dynamic and growing international business
• a collaborative working environment in our Central London office
• the opportunity to work closely with the founder and leadership team to shape how the company grows
• career progression as the business expands, with room to take on more responsibility over time
