Understanding the operations talent gap.

From global supply chain volatility to rising costs, today's operations teams are at the center of every major shift.
And the pace of change or responsibility isn’t slowing down.
Meanwhile, AI and automation are rewriting rules for how operations teams function. Success requires talent who can foster collaboration and build systems that support growth—even, and especially, in uncertain times.
Knowing what you need is one thing; finding the right people is another. Access to top operations talent is limited, and many top candidates aren’t actively looking. That’s why having the right approach to uncover hidden talent makes all the difference.
At Hunt Club, we combine proprietary data, a purpose-built platform, and an exclusive referral network to connect you with exceptional operations talent.
Top Operations Leadership Competencies
From partnering with thousands of dynamic companies and listening closely to our clients needs, we’ve pinpointed the key competencies that make today’s operations leaders succeed.
-
Operations leaders must anticipate future needs and build frameworks that support growth — not just solve immediate problems. They possess the ability to see the big picture, understand how processes, people, and technology fit together, and design scalable systems that align with business goals.
-
Exceptional operations leaders remain steady through uncertainty, pivot strategies quickly, and guide their teams with clarity and confidence. Their adaptability turns disruption into opportunity and keeps the business moving forward, even in volatile times.
-
By analyzing trends, tracking performance, and identifying inefficiencies, they translate complex information into actionable insights. This analytical approach empowers them to optimize processes and consistently improve results across the organization.
-
Operations touches every corner of an organization, which means the best leaders excel at building bridges. They foster strong relationships with finance, product, sales, HR, and beyond, breaking down silos and aligning teams toward a common objective.
