Supply Chain Operations Manager – Contract (Inside IR35) – Day Rate Negotiable (DOE) - ASAP Start

I'm supporting a client who is looking to hire 5 x Supply Chain Operations Managers to join a growing team on an initial 6-month rolling contract (potential temp-to-perm).

This is a hands-on, high-impact role sitting between project management and supply chain focused on in-plant supplier engagement to drive efficiency and resolve complex delivery challenges.

What they're looking for: - Strong manufacturing background (ex-Operations Manager within a physical facility ideal) - Experience working with complex mechanical components (e.g. castings, compressor blades) - Solid engineering foundation (Mechanical preferred) - Proven ability to influence internal & external stakeholders - Comfortable operating in a matrix, multi-faceted business - Programme/project management capability

Travel: Flexible – could range from 25–75% depending on the account. Some weeks onsite with suppliers (potential 3-hour journeys to build relationships), travel expensed.

Hybrid – 2–3 days in the Midlands office

Please drop me a PM if this role sounds of interest
