Food Manufacturing – Leicestershire
Up to £42k + Benefits

Are you the go-to person for all things planning? The one everyone turns to for solutions, advice, and support? Sound like you? Then keep reading!

We’re partnering with a fast-growing business in Leicester that’s on the lookout for talented people to help strengthen their supply chain and planning functions. Right now, they need a Supply Chain Team Leader who’s not just a manager, but someone who thrives on being hands-on, leading a small team, and bringing fresh ideas to the table.

What You’ll Be Doing
You’ll be at the heart of production, material, and logistics planning for a product with a short shelf life, so expect a dynamic, fast-paced environment. Every day will bring new challenges and opportunities to flex your problem-solving muscles. In this role, you'll develop and implement strategies to balance production demands with cost efficiency while skilfully managing supplier lead times.

Why This Role?
It’s an exciting time to join this business. They’re experiencing explosive growth, driven by the demand for their high-quality products. With expansion happening rapidly, this is the perfect moment for someone like you to step in, make an impact, and grow with the company.

Growth here doesn’t just apply to the business—it applies to your career too. They’re all about nurturing talent and offering real opportunities for progression. If you’re looking to fast-track your career and be part of something big, this is the place for you.

What We’re Looking For
We need that “Planning Go-To” person mentioned earlier! Here’s what will make you a great fit:

Experience in Food or FMCG Manufacturing is essential. This is a fast-paced environment, and we need someone who’s been there, done that.
Current Planning Role: You’re a central player in your team, possibly leading by example with your expertise—even if you don’t have the “manager” title just yet.
Leadership or Mentorship Skills: While formal management experience isn’t a must, we’d love someone who’s helped others grow and enjoys mentoring.
Tech Savvy: You’re comfortable with Excel and have experience with planning software like ERP or MRP systems.
Why Apply?
If you’re ready to take your career to the next level, make a real difference, and thrive in a fast-moving, rapidly growing business, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today, and let’s talk about how this role fits your journey!

Thanks for considering this opportunity—we’re looking forward to your application
