Job Description

Live Operations & Scheduling Manager


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.


Your mission


  • 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.

  • You’ll thrive here if you…


    • 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.

  • The Details


    • 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

  • Package highlights


    • £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.
