Working as a operations manager in Canberra
Almost entirely federal government and the contractors serving it, which means security clearance and Australian citizenship gate a large share of the roles. High salaries where you qualify and very few options where you do not.
Most of the hiring in this list clusters around Civic, Barton and Bruce. Location on a posting is not always literal — check whether a role is genuinely on site, and whether "remote" means remote within the country or remote from anywhere, because the two are priced differently.

Operations Manager pay and hiring, asked properly
What salary can an operations manager expect?
In India, roughly 8–18 LPA at mid-level and 20–40 LPA senior, varying widely by sector — e-commerce and logistics pay above services. The US band is about $70,000–$120,000, the UK £35,000–£70,000. Scope, meaning headcount and budget owned, moves this more than title does.
What do interviewers actually probe for?
Whether you have owned a number and improved it. 'Managed the operations team' says nothing; 'cut order-to-dispatch from 40 hours to 12 by resequencing the picking process' is the answer they want. Come with two of those, with the before and after figures.
Is it a technical role now?
Increasingly, in the sense that the good jobs expect you to query data rather than request reports. SQL and a BI tool are the difference between proposing a change and waiting for someone to size it for you, which is the same divide that decides business analyst ceilings.
