We’re looking for a fun, high energy, get-it-done Supply Chain Manager / Business Partner.

Someone who doesn’t wait for perfect information. Someone who moves things forward.

Sector experience helps, but if we’re honest… we care more about the person.

We’re working with a fast-paced, global consumer brand going through a significant transformation, growth and change.

They’re rolling out a major brand evolution across multiple markets, channels and touchpoints. Packaging, in-store, customer experience, the lot.

They need someone to come in and own the supply chain piece end to end.

The Role

• You’ll sit at the centre of a complex transition.
• Old assets moving out. New assets coming in. Multiple SKUs. Multiple suppliers. Tight timelines. Real commercial pressure.
• Your job is to make sure everything lands. On time. Without blowing up cost or supply.
• You’ll be the link between suppliers, procurement, marketing and operations. Translating ambition into something that can actually be delivered.

What you’ll be doing

• Own the transition plan across products, suppliers and regions
• Coordinate supplier activity to ensure smooth changeover into new designs
• Track SKU-level movement, stock run down and new launches
• Manage risk across supply, cost and timelines
• Keep a tight handle on waste, write-offs and cost exposure
• Partner with commercial and brand teams to keep plans realistic
• Communicate clearly with stakeholders, no noise, just what matters

What we’re looking for

A fun and hands on Supply Chain expert. Someone who is fun, engaging and happy working a pace in a corporate business.

You’re organised, but not rigid. Commercial, but still practical. You can challenge people without creating drama.

You build trust quickly and get people moving.
