Supply Chain Director

About the Company

Our client is a growing industrial manufacturing business operating within a sustainability-led and environmentally responsible model. The organization transforms recycled materials into high-quality industrial products, supplying a broad B2B customer base.

With strong growth ambitions and continuous investment in operations and systems, the business is evolving its supply chain capabilities to support increasing demand and future vertical integration into material processing.

The culture is collaborative, hands‑on, and pragmatic—leaders are expected to be visible, close to operations, and actively involved in driving performance and improvement.

We are seeking a hands‑on Supply Chain Director to join the Senior Leadership Team and take ownership of Logistics, Procurement, Demand and S&OP Planning functions.

Reporting to the Managing Director, this role is focused on translating business strategy into effective, day‑to‑day execution across the supply chain. The position requires a leader who is comfortable operating at both tactical and strategic levels, with a strong emphasis on implementation and delivery.

This is not a purely strategic role—success will come from being close to the operation, working directly with teams, and driving structured, data‑led decision‑making.

A key focus area will be strengthening Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) processes, improving demand visibility, and aligning supply chain activities with ongoing business growth.

Highly operational environment requiring close engagement with teams and site activities; primarily on‑site role with some flexibility if needed.

Limited travel (typically 1–2 international trips per year).

Collaborative leadership culture with direct access to decision‑makers.

Open to both experienced Supply Chain Directors and Managers ready to step up into a broader leadership role.

• Lead and coordinate end‑to‑end supply chain activities across logistics, procurement, planning, and customer service.
• Translate business objectives into clear operational plans and ensure consistent execution.
• Drive a structured, process‑driven approach to managing supply chain performance.

• Support the transition from legacy systems to a new ERP platform (Pro Alpha).
• Drive adoption within the supply chain function, ensuring data accuracy and process alignment.
• Leverage systems to improve visibility, planning accuracy, and decision‑making.

• Oversee inbound and outbound logistics, ensuring efficient material flow and delivery performance.
• Manage site‑related logistics activities, including warehouse coordination and transport planning.
• Collaborate closely with Operations to ensure seamless production support.

• Oversee procurement strategy and supplier relationships, with a focus on reliability and cost control.

• Work closely with internal specialists on raw material sourcing.

• Ensure high levels of customer service through effective order fulfilment and communication.
• Proactively manage delivery expectations and resolve issues.

• Lead a team of approximately 5–6 direct reports across logistics, procurement, planning, and customer service.
• Develop team capability, structure, and performance.
• Foster cross‑functional collaboration across Sales and Operations.

• Degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, Business, or a related discipline (preferred).
• Minimum of 3–5 years’ experience in a senior supply chain…
