Senior Supply Chain Manager

We are exclusively partnered with an ambitious CDMO undergoing transformation across its operations and supply chain functions. As investment continues and the business scales, a key leadership opportunity has emerged for an experienced Senior Supply Chain Manager to play a pivotal role in driving operational excellence and cultural change.

This is far more than a functional leadership role. You'll be at the centre of a business-wide transformation, helping to modernise planning processes, introduce new ways of working, and build a highly engaged team capable of supporting future growth.

This role has three key areas of focus:

• Leading the development and implementation of a new scheduling and planning tool.
• Driving engagement, adoption and cultural change across the planning function.
• Taking ownership of both Warehouse Logistics and Production Planning operations, ensuring the smooth execution of day-to-day activities while building for the future.

Success in this position will require someone who is equally comfortable operating strategically and spending time on the shop floor understanding the realities of the operation. You'll lead from the front, bringing teams with you through change while maintaining a relentless focus on service, efficiency and continuous improvement.

• Supply chain leadership experience within pharmaceuticals, food manufacturing or FMCG

• Strong background in production planning and scheduling

• Proven experience leading transformation or change initiatives.

• Play a key role in a business undergoing significant growth and investment.
• Lead a high-profile transformation programme with visible impact.
• Shape the future direction of critical supply chain functions.
• Join a company where your leadership and ideas will directly influence success.
• Be part of a collaborative, ambitious leadership team committed to building a best-in-class operation.
