🚀 Manufacturing | Growth Phase | Operational Scale-Up

If you love building structure, creating flow, and making complex operations run smoothly…

This is not a transactional procurement role.

This is not a back-office logistics position.

This is not about maintaining the status quo.

This is a growing, well-established manufacturing business streamlining its operations and supply capability.

Demand is strong. Investment is committed.

Now the business needs a supply chain leader to bring control, visibility, and scalability.

The Mission

Own the full supply chain from raw materials → production → customer delivery.

Build a supply chain that is predictable, cost-effective, and scalable.

Drive operational efficiency across procurement, planning, warehousing, and logistics.

Support growth by ensuring the right materials and products are in the right place at the right time.

This role exists to create flow and control - not react to problems.

What You’ll Actually Own

End-to-end supply chain strategy and execution
Procurement & supplier performance
Demand planning & forecasting
Production planning alignment
Inventory control & optimisation
Logistics, warehousing & distribution
Cost management and margin improvement
ERP / system discipline and data accuracy
Cross-functional alignment with operations and production

You own flow, cost, and performance.

You might be

A Head of Supply Chain or Senior Supply Chain Manager ready for full ownership

An Operations leader with strong supply chain expertise

A Procurement or Planning leader stepping into a broader role

You

✔ Think in systems, not silos

✔ Are commercially aware and cost-focused

✔ Can see problems before they happen

❌ Individuals who work in silos

The Culture

Collaborative.

Grounded.

High accountability.

Low ego.

Team-first mindset.

This is a business that values people, performance, and long-term growth - not politics.
