Job Details
The Company
This exceptional start-up brand is revolutionizing premium foods, transforming them into healthy alternatives that do not compromise on flavour, taste or texture, and are loved by consumers across the UK. The business is constantly innovating and growing at pace so they now need a super star Manufacturing Director to support their future growth, taking the lead in building and moving to a swanky new factory.
The Role
As the Manufacturing Director, and part of the Senior Leadership Team, you will report directly to the CEO, overseeing the in-house manufacturing operations. You will be instrumental in delivering changes within production to optimise product and processes as well as improving cost control.
Your team will include Shift Leads, the Head of Quality, and Engineering and Administrative staff, whose talents you will nurture and galvanise to ensure operations run smoothly with maximum efficiency. Quality and compliance will be up there on your agenda as you will be championing a culture of safety, best practice and the highest manufacturing standards.
You’ll also work closely with the Product, Supply Chain and Logistics teams to facilitate the development and launch of fabulous new products, being involved in with capital projects and safeguarding quality.
One of the most exciting projects on your plate will be to manage the build and delivery of a new manufacturing facility so you can use your expertise in making this exciting project happen.
The Person
We’re looking for a talented Manufacturing Director who thrives in a rapidly changing environment and has the agility to flex from operating at exec level to being hands on in the factory. You’ll have a real passion for food and whichever category you’re in, you fully immerse yourself in the product and process to truly understand it, along with all the nuances that take a product from being good to absolutely outstanding.
Previous experience of working at a senior level within food manufacturing is essential, along with experience of building a new factory. You must relish challenges, are quick to find solutions and be a leader who will get things done. Strategic, nimble, confident, commercially astute and values driven – these traits are a must for success in this business.
Happy to consider experience in any food sector, although bakery / confectionery / snacks would be great to have.
If you’re ready to make a significant impact on an exciting journey of growth and success, apply now or call Dhrutee on 0345 2600 737 or 07700 137 110 for a confidential chat.
