The Opportunity:
As a Head of Supply Chain you’ll play a key role in:
• Leading production and material planning, ensuring raw materials and finished goods are in the right place at the right time while supporting efficient production and service levels.
• Managing stock control, WIP and inventory processes, with a focus on accuracy, rotation, traceability, quality and effective use of space.
• Overseeing logistics, intake and despatch operations, including 3PL, booking processes and the timely movement of goods.
• Leading, coaching and developing teams across planning, stock control and logistics, building capability through clear objectives, regular reviews and succession planning.
• Using KPIs, forecasting, capacity modelling and continuous improvement principles to identify opportunities to improve performance, control costs and support future business requirements.
Your work will directly contribute to a safe, efficient and responsive operation, helping the wider business maintain strong customer service, quality standards and sustainable supply chain performance.
About You:
We’re looking for someone who can bring:
• Experience within an FMCG manufacturing environment, alongside practical supply chain experience covering areas such as export, demand planning, supply planning and inventory.
• Strong working knowledge of modern manufacturing, material flow, inventory planning and control, lean principles, continuous improvement and demand-driven MRP.
• Confidence working with operational data, KPIs and reporting, supported by strong numerical, analytical and Microsoft Excel skills.
• The ability to build constructive relationships across different functions and with external partners, communicating plans, priorities and challenges clearly.
• A collaborative and supportive leadership style, with experience developing people, improving performance and creating a positive working environment.
A CIPS qualification would be desirable rather than essential. If you meet most of the requirements but not every point, we would still encourage you to apply.
