Continuous Improvement Manager

Leicestershire | £50,000
Let's be honest.

This isn't a clipboard-and-spreadsheets Continuous Improvement role.
And it's not a 'keep the lights on' kind of business either.
This is a high-volume, fast-moving food manufacturing environment where improvement actually matters - because margins, efficiency and people all sit on the same production line.
The business?
A well-established, household-name food manufacturer with serious ambition. Privately owned. Proud of its heritage. But not stuck in it.
They know they can be better.
They want someone who knows how to make that happen.

The Role

You'll be the person who turns good intentions into real, measurable change.
Not sat in an ivory tower.
Not just running workshops.
You'll be on the floor, working with Ops, Engineering and Site Leadership to:

Drive continuous improvement initiatives that actually stick

Embed Lean / CI tools in a practical, no-nonsense way

Improve efficiency, waste reduction, flow and performance

Coach and challenge teams - not dictate to them

Build a culture where improvement isn't a project it's just how things are done

This is a role for someone who can influence without authority, simplify the complex, and bring people with them.

What They're Looking For

You don't need every badge going - but you do need credibility.

Proven experience in Continuous Improvement / Lean within manufacturing

Food, FMCG or high-volume environments will help

Someone who's hands-on, pragmatic and commercially aware

Comfortable dealing with senior stakeholders and shop-floor teams alike

A leader who improves processes and people

If you're the kind of CI professional who gets frustrated when businesses talk about change but don't back it - this one will interest you. What's On Offer

£50,000 salary

A visible, influential role with genuine backing from leadership

The chance to shape how CI is done across the site - not inherit a broken system

Long-term opportunity in a stable, growing business
