Supply Chain Operations Manager

Supply Chain Operations Manager (Inside IR35)

Belcan Workforce Solutions is recruiting a highly driven Supply Chain Operations Manager for a contract opportunity based in Warwick. This is a key role within a complex engineering environment where you will be brought in to solve delivery challenges, influence outcomes, and drive supplier performance across critical programmes.

As a Supply Chain Operations Manager
, you will take ownership of supplier delivery, ensuring parts and components are manufactured, quality‑checked, and delivered on time. This is a hands‑on, delivery‑focused position where you will challenge stakeholders, remove bottlenecks, and implement recovery plans to keep programmes on track. You'll work cross‑functionally with engineering, procurement, and quality teams while also engaging directly with suppliers, often on‑site, to drive results and accountability.

The successful Supply Chain Operations Manager will bring strong experience in supplier performance management within manufacturing or engineering environments. You'll be a confident influencer who can challenge both internal and external stakeholders, lead from the front, and deliver solutions under pressure. This role is not logistics‑focused, it requires someone who understands supply chain delivery at a component level and can actively drive change.
