Live Operations and Scheduling Manager
New Yesterday
Job Description
Keep our tech, teams, and timelines in perfect sync.
At House of Willow Alexander, we don’t just deliver home and garden services — we deliver time, trust, and beauty to our clients. Every booking is a promise, and you’ll be the one who makes sure we keep it.
We’re looking for a commercially-minded live operations leader to run our entire daily service schedule, manage our tech platform, and keep our eco-friendly vans moving like clockwork. You’ll oversee all recurring client work plus new bookings, making sure our teams arrive on time, fully equipped, and ready to deliver a flawless service experience.
This isn’t a call-centre role. This is a central command seat — where quick thinking, clear communication, and sharp commercial instincts are essential.
- Own the entire live schedule across all service vans, ensuring routes are efficient, profitable, and smooth.
- Manage all subscription schedules — keeping recurring clients delighted and retention high.
- Slot in new and last-minute bookings without disrupting the day’s flow.
- Operate and optimise our tech platform — from booking management to route planning.
- Track live jobs, review notes, confirm completions, and follow up on anything outstanding.
- Be the real-time support hub for field teams — solving problems, rerouting if needed, and keeping everyone on track.
- Collaborate with Customer Success on client updates and with Sales to handle incoming leads (with support from your Sales Assistant).
- Spot trends and continuously improve — analysing data to make future days run even better.
- Have 2–5 years’ experience in scheduling, dispatch, fleet management, live operations, events, or service delivery management.
- Can juggle multiple priorities under pressure without losing your cool.
- Understand that a great schedule is about commercial efficiency, not just logistics.
- Love working with tech platforms and can pick up new systems fast.
- Are a natural problem-solver and a clear communicator — with both clients and teams.
- Care about sustainability — we’re a carbon-neutral brand with a big eco mission.
- Pattern: Monday–Friday, 08:30–17:30 (1-in-6 weekend phone cover, paid overtime)
- Location: Sidcup HQ — on the operations floor with Customer Care, Fleet, and Tech
- Growth route: Senior Operations Manager → Head of Service Delivery
- £30–35k salary + performance/impact rewards
- 28 days holiday + your birthday off
- Free barista-grade coffee, breathwork breaks & homemade baking
- Office herb garden a few steps away
Be the strategist, problem-solver, and heartbeat of our daily operations.
If you’re ready to orchestrate a moving puzzle, keep promises to customers, and run a schedule that sings — we’d love to hear from you.
