Supply Chain Manager

• Monday - Friday (half-day finish on Fridays)
• Package includes bonus scheme, pension and life assurance
• Opportunity to shape how we grow

This is a genuinely rare find: a senior supply chain role inside a family-run manufacturer that's ready to be transformed. You'll have real ownership - not just a seat at the table, but the pen in your hand to redesign how goods flow in and out of the business.

Two things matter most right now: improving on-time inbound delivery and driving up quality. Beyond that, you'll build the foundations - strategic sourcing, demand planning, logistics, supplier relationships - that let the business scale with confidence.

• Lead day-to-day supply chain operations: identify material needs, negotiate on price and lead times, and partner with the purchasing team to keep the order process running smoothly.
• Develop and execute sourcing strategies that actively support business growth - not just maintain the status quo.
• Build strong, lasting supplier relationships with clear accountability around quality, cost, and delivery performance.
• Put a proper supplier performance framework in place: measure, report, and resolve issues before they become problems.
• Support inventory control during stock counts and lead the resolution of discrepancies.

• Proven supply chain or purchasing management experience in a manufacturing environment.
• A track record of implementing supplier development processes that actually stick.
• Strong analytical thinking and the ability to lead change without losing people along the way.
• Clear, confident communication - you challenge assumptions, stay detail-oriented, and keep driving toward results.
