A little bit about us:
We are independent whiskymakers founded in 2000. Our mission is to inspire moments of joy via making the world of scotch whisky a more interesting place. We have built an enviable reputation for creating delicious scotch whiskies in a highly creative and transparent manner. Most recently in October 2023 we were voted in the top 5 admired whisky brands in the world (across all whisky categories) which is a remarkable achievement for a small independent scaleup business. We have ambitious growth targets and exciting plans for the future. We are 28 people strong.
Why we need you
We need someone to put their heart and soul into strategically planning running and leading operations. The good news is that weve got exceptional whiskies that any Operations Director would love to put their name behind. In some other companies this role would be called Supply Chain Director. Our primary markets are in the US and Europe though theres real appetite for our whisky in Asia and Global Travel Retail too. Theres so much opportunity around the world and we need someone with an investigative and inquisitive mind to shape and deliver a highly efficient and sustainable business model.
Operations is the fuel on which our business operates. There have been a number of important positive changes in the last couple of years to our Operations footprint but more needs to be done. You will get the opportunity immediately to shape how we do Operations at Compass Box and in so doing create an incredible legacy.
We are a progressive challenger business known for our creativity and transparency. We enjoy doing things differently at Compass Box in Operations and in the rest of the business. We describe ourselves as heretics with positive intent!
