Job Description
Trainee Operations Manager | Birmingham (Mailbox) | £25,000 rising to £45,000
Most graduate jobs in Birmingham hand you a task list. This one hands you an operation. You will spend your first months learning how campaigns run, how teams are managed and how performance is measured, then take on real responsibility for people, planning and results as you prove yourself.
Sage is hiring a Trainee Operations Manager for its Birmingham Mailbox office, starting at £25,000 with progression up to £45,000 between months 6 and 12 based on performance. No management experience needed. Full-time, permanent, Monday to Friday, on-site in the city centre.
What you will be doing
- Supporting daily planning and operational priorities
- Coordinating schedules, people and campaign activity
- Tracking team performance and flagging areas to improve
- Helping train and develop new starters
- Maintaining reporting standards and internal processes
- Preparing to take responsibility for a wider team
Who this suits
Recent graduates, and anyone stepping up from retail, hospitality, customer service, recruitment or sport who wants a route into management. You will need strong organisation, clear communication, reliable timekeeping and the willingness to take direct feedback and act on it.
What you get
Structured training in operations, campaign delivery, performance reporting, coaching and commercial decision-making. One-to-one mentoring from experienced managers, regular reviews, and a defined path towards Operations Manager, Campaign Manager or Team Manager.
Progression is earned, not automatic. It depends on your performance, standards and readiness to lead.
Apply now with an up-to-date CV and a short note on why you want to move into operations management. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted this week.
