Head of Supply Chain Management

Neon Search is partnering with a growing, purpose-led organisation to appoint a Head of Supply Chain to lead and evolve its end-to-end supply chain operation.

This is a key appointment for a business with ambitious plans for growth. The Head of Supply Chain will take ownership of building a resilient, efficient and scalable supply chain — ensuring the operation can support both the needs of the business today and where it is heading next.

Working closely with teams across the organisation, this person will bring together strategy, planning and execution across the full supply chain.

The Role

The Head of Supply Chain will have responsibility for the performance and continued development of the supply chain function, with a focus on operational excellence, commercial performance and scalability.

The remit will include:

• Leading the end-to-end supply chain strategy and operation
• Owning demand and supply planning, forecasting and inventory management
• Developing robust processes to improve availability while optimising stock levels
• Managing supplier and third-party logistics relationships
• Driving improvements across logistics, warehousing and fulfilment
• Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, service levels and cost
• Building greater visibility and control through data, reporting and appropriate systems
• Working cross-functionally with commercial, finance and wider operational teams
• Identifying and mitigating supply chain risk
• Building the processes, capability and infrastructure required to support future growth
• Leading and developing the Supply Chain team

About You

We’re looking for an experienced supply chain leader who understands how to balance operational excellence with the realities of a growing business.

You’ll be commercially minded, highly analytical and comfortable taking ownership — someone who can identify where change is needed and then make it happen.

You are likely to bring:

• Significant experience leading supply chain within a growing or complex organisation
• Strong end-to-end supply chain knowledge
• Experience across demand planning, inventory, logistics and fulfilment
• A track record of improving processes, performance and operational efficiency
• Strong supplier and third-party relationship management experience
• Confidence working with data to drive better commercial and operational decisions
• Experience developing teams and building capability
• The ability to operate strategically while remaining close enough to the detail to understand what is really happening

This is an opportunity to take ownership of a critical function and play a significant role in building the operational foundations for the organisation’s next stage of growth.
