Business Operations Manager - FTC
Broad operator role at a fast-scaling health-tech: business ops, people & HR and ISO 27001 governance in one seat, reporting to the VP of Operations. Hands-on, high-ownership.
About MediShout
MediShout is a fast-growing, international startup that digitises operational pathways in healthcare settings so staff can focus on delivering patient care.
Our App is the first in healthcare to bridge the communication gap between frontline clinical staff, operational departments, and external suppliers. Our SaaS solution acts as a central hub where equipment or building issues are reported and triaged instantly. MediShout extends its reach beyond hospital walls, integrating with external suppliers to streamline fragmented processes, ensuring data flows seamlessly between those who use healthcare assets and services, and those who maintain or provide them.
We work with global medical device companies and facilities management leaders, and are backed by renowned investors including Episode1 Ventures, Nickleby Capital, KHP, and Atomico Angels.
MediShout is poised for rapid global expansion and is seeking a Business Operations Manager to drive efficiency by collaborating with executive leadership and translating specialist guidance into actionable internal processes.
The Role
You'll support the day-to-day running of our operations across three main areas: Business Operations, People & HR Operations, and Data Governance, overseeing the maintenance of our ISO 27001:2022 certified Information Security Management System (ISMS).
This is a broad, hands-on role for someone energised by structure, quality, and getting things done in a fast-moving, regulated environment. You'll report to the Vice President of Operations and work with the C-Suite, Customer Success and Product teams to support operational planning, project delivery, company administration and internal coordination.
The role is diverse but it is not intended to replace specialist data protection, InfoSec, legal, HR or financial advisors. Instead, the Business Operations Manager will be responsible for managing these relationships and coordinating the internal execution to keep the company secure, compliant, and operational.
This role covers a period of maternity leave (12-18 months), offering immediate exposure across a variety of disciplines. As the business continues to scale, there is scope for the role to develop into a permanent position.
