Senior Management Team If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s to hold dear to what’s important and for us to reflect, reimagine and realign our priorities. Technology has advanced, and continues to advance, at a rate of knots. For some, operating in businesses that solely focus on advancing the already advanced technology seems to be the crowning glory; but you’d prefer to be part of a bigger sense of purpose...something that really did create memories and feed into people's reimagined priorities, through the products
you
develop and produce. Overview of the position
Reporting to a Board Director, you will be responsible for leading the Supply Chain function, owning the creation and delivery of the Supply Chain strategy and managing a team of over fifty employees. As a result of continued business growth, and with an ever-diversifying product portfolio, this has led to an increase in complexity across the Supply Chain. You will manage the supplier relationship and information flow relating to the provision of parts from selected sources, to ensure that they are delivered at the right time, to the right quality, in the right packaging whilst adhering to the environmental policy. Key challenges
People
You know how important culture is; get it right and everything else will fall into place. Get it wrong and...well, let’s not focus on that part because that’s not an option for you. One of your main strengths is being able to go into a business, understand its culture, and be able to build, nurture and grow the people. Business
The business generally treats symptoms rather than root causes. The Supply Chain function is better than most, but they do need the new leader to make the identification and correction of root causes an everyday and standard approach. They are trying to improve their planning and delivery capabilities; to do this, they need to improve the identification of SMART deliverables as part of project plans, whilst holding the teams accountable to deliver the plans in all areas, including Supply Chain. Supply Chain
Map and improve supply related processes and data to support future projects to implement a Warehouse Management System and broader ERP. Enhance the service they offer to their customers by reducing supply related lead-times / increasing agility. Enhance the control of incoming logistics and enhance environmental performance through a review and improvement of incoming logistics, on-site storage, and linefeed solutions. Develop and provide information to guide supplier improvement by developing a vendor rating and improvement scorecard. You, and your background
You need to be a seasoned Supply Chain professional with a breadth of manufacturing experience. You’re a modern-day Leader, with high levels of emotional intelligence who is comfortable engaging across the full spectrum of the business, from the shopfloor to strategic activities. You can take a top-level mandate, visualise what needs to be done, understand how to close the gaps to drive improvements, and effectively communicate this message across your team. What next?
If you feel this is a challenge you’d like to explore further, then we’d like to hear from you – so get in touch by sending us your CV. If you haven’t got a CV don’t worry, we can help with that too. Also, each applicant will get a response, even if it’s not the one you had hoped for. We look forward to hearing from you.
