Planning Manager – A Role That Makes a Difference

Stuck in a role where you’re just another cog in the machine?

This could be your chance to step into a growing factory and make a real impact. Three years ago, this was just a field. Today, it’s a high-performing operation producing hundreds of tonnes of product for some of the UK’s biggest retailers—and we’re just getting started.

At the core of its success is planning, and we’re looking for someone who’s ready to take the reins.

Why This Role?

This isn’t about tweaking someone else’s system or filling out spreadsheets all day. It’s about building and shaping.

• Autonomy: Minimal red tape, minimal supervision. Your ideas matter.
• Impact: You’ll be at the heart of driving efficiency, solving problems, and scaling the operation.
• Growth: You’re not stepping into someone else’s shadow. This is your chance to own and define the planning function.

If you’re feeling undervalued or stuck in a rigid, corporate environment, this could be the change you need.

Who We’re Looking For

This isn’t just for people with "Planning Manager" on their CV. If you’ve got the right mindset, we want to hear from you.

• Background in CI, factory management, or production? Perfect—your operational experience could be just what we need.
• Already a Planning Manager? Great—you’ll thrive here if you’re ready to take ownership and work with freedom.

The common thread? You love a challenge, thrive in fast-paced environments, and want to build something you can be proud of.

Why This Business?

This is a company with a fantastic growth story, clear ambitions, and plenty of opportunity. They’ve achieved incredible results in a short space of time, and planning is the key to taking things to the next level.
