2) Operations Manager

This is one of the most senior roles on the list and mostly involves overseeing the production/provision of services. This is vital in maintaining a smooth-running company that satisfies its customers. The median base salary is £42,000 and the job satisfaction rating is 4.0.

1) Marketing Manager

As you might expect, a marketing manager oversees marketing campaigns and activities and monitors results. With a median base salary of £42,000 and a job satisfaction rating of 4.0, it tops Glass doors list.

Some of the higher-ranking jobs on the list may have lower satisfaction scores than those lower down. This is because Glassdoor considered other factors – such as whether there were vacancies available in the profession – when calculating overall placement; however, this list does provide an indicator of which jobs are most likely to give their employees satisfaction in their work.
