Operations Manager - Libraries
Location - Fife (hybrid)
Duration - 12 Month Fixed Term Contract
Salary - 51,000 - 56,000
We are OnFife and as Fife's largest cultural organisation we specialise in making jaws drop, hearts warm, eyes light up and imaginations run wild. We work with a huge range of partners, artists and creatives and our spaces are some of Fife's favourite places. A leadership- oriented organisation, we're built on strong values, and those values make us who we are - Fearless, Inviting, Fair and Exciting. As part of our ongoing commitment to welcome communities back into our spaces we're wanting to add to our team to help us deliver on our ambitious plans for the future.
Our new Operations Manager will play a pivotal part in delivering our strategy, not only in response to our communities changing needs, but also in the recognition that our libraries must continuously evolve and remain relevant. This role will directly line manage our 6 cluster/areas across Fife, accounting for 25 branches with a further 4 branches sitting within our Venues, plus our Fleet Services that support our more remote communities. You'll be working very closely with our other Operations Manager who will take the lead on our Venues, Theatres and Heritage sites, and you'll liaise directly with our Creative Development Team to ensure that we're living our values; are forward-thinking and trusted by our communities.
As a key member of our Senior Management team, you will demonstrate the vision, empathy and agility to contribute at the highest level. Being part of our Operations Team means delivering a great overall service experience to our communities. There's a lot of day-to-day management and leadership but it's equally about working collaboratively with OnFife colleagues to develop forward thinking strategies. You will embrace an equitable and co-ordinated approach to service delivery and development.
We are looking for an individual who can demonstrate an impressive track record in operational management within a multifaceted customer focussed organisation. Whilst naturally it would be very beneficial to have experience of the Cultural Sector, and a knowledge of libraries, it's most important that you're a committed people person, with strong project management and change management skills. You'll lead from a place of authenticity, demonstrating the passion, energy and commitment to take our team forward.
