- Driving improvements across planning, inventory management, customer service and warehouse operations
- Leading daily operational reviews with stakeholders across the site
- Building strong partnerships with Production, Engineering, Sales and Procurement teams
- Producing monthly performance reports and contributing to strategic decision-making as part of the site leadership team
- Leading business improvement and system implementation projects
- Supporting the transition from our current ERP platform to Microsoft Business Central
What we're looking for:
- Experience leading supply chain operations within a manufacturing environment
- Strong knowledge of MRP and ERP systems
- Experience managing warehousing, planning, logistics or customer service functions
- A track record of developing and engaging teams
- Experience delivering change, process improvement or system implementation projects
- The ability to build credibility and influence at all levels of the business
