About
Josh Wood Colour is looking for an experienced Head of Operations to take the lead managing all functions in our world-class central London Atelier. You should have outstanding client service and people skills with a track record across a diverse range of functions. You should also be an effective manager of people with excellent leadership skills and the ability to motivate and develop the team.
Reporting directly to the Group MD, this role could be described as a ‘player-manager’ as it involves being very hands-on to support the day to day needs of clients and team whilst also driving the business forward as a renowned industry leader.
Josh Wood is a world-leading colourist, an Executive Board Member of the British Beauty Council and a regular host on ITV’s This Morning. He founded the Atelier in 2011 as the home of our handpicked dream team of colourists and stylists.
“From Fashion Week to the red carpet, if you’ve spotted a shade you absolutely love, it’s more than likely expert colourist Josh Wood or his team were behind it” - Refinery29
We are on a mission to offer a better solution for clients to have fantastic personalised hair colour that is tailored to each individual. Our London Atelier is also the home to Josh Wood Colour Digital, working alongside Josh and the Atelier team to bring expert product innovation to our at-home community.
