Supply Chain Coordinator – Food Manufacturing
Location: Derby
Salary: £30,000
We know there are a lot of supply chain jobs out there, each with endless spreadsheets and the same day-to-day logistics grind. But here’s the thing – this role isn’t one of those.
Imagine working for a unique food manufacturer that needs more than someone who can “coordinate stock.” They need someone who can dive into the raw materials flow, ensure the entire system is seamless, and support a production team that relies on everything going exactly as planned.
As a Supply Chain Coordinator here, you’re not just managing stock. You’re the link between procurement, transport, suppliers, and production – ensuring the operation doesn’t miss a beat.
What You’ll Be Doing
• Stock Management: You’ll oversee stock levels in cold storage, manage raw material intake, and handle customs administration. You’re the go-to person, ensuring stock meets the correct levels and timing.
• Supplier Performance: Work directly with suppliers, analysing KPIs, identifying weak points, and communicating those insights to keep things running smoothly.
• Logistics & Coordination: Coordinate with transport teams and suppliers to make sure everything lands where and when it should.
• Continuous Improvement: You always think, “How can this be better?” and work with the team to optimise stock control and planning.
The Ideal You
• You’ve got a few years in the supply chain – ideally in food or a similar industry.
• You’re a spreadsheet pro and comfortable working with MRP/ERP systems.
• You’re sharp on detail, a natural problem-solver, and can juggle multiple tasks like a pro.
• You’re all about teamwork, with solid communication skills and a knack for making complex data digestible for others.
What’s in It for You?
• Be part of a tight-knit team where your contributions genuinely impact the whole business.
• A chance to take ownership of a role central to the company’s success, not just another cog in the machine.
We'd love to hear from you if you’re ready for a supply chain role that’s more than just ticking boxes.
This isn’t for everyone. But if you’re the kind of person who likes rolling up their sleeves and keeping things moving, this is your role. Apply now
