As an Operations Manager, I work with projects that are critical to succeed with the company’s value creation plan. Projects range across functional areas such as sales, customer success, strategy, finance, data and analytics. The Operations Team is an integrated part of the Deal Team, collaborating during the due diligence process, value creation plan development, ongoing work with the portfolio companies and exit preparations.

As an Operations Manager you get to see and work closely with a number of companies in a number of sectors. You are broadening your hands-on experience before deciding in which role and in which portfolio company to land.

You get to understand business from a different perspective – the investor’s perspective – and while management teams are (hopefully) aligned with their owners, it is a very different experience sitting from the owner’s viewpoint than from the manager running the day-to-day operations of a business. Additionally, joining NC allows you to learn how to drive change in organisations through clarity and structure - and helps you build a toolkit that you can apply to many different businesses on a range of functional topics.
