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. There has been significant improvement driven in recent years within the function and the business now needs somebody to maintain the good level of work already in place but also continue to identify and drive ongoing improvements.
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. You will work closely with Procurement and Product Design at concept, design and prototype stage, alongside working closely with manufacturing to ensure development parts arrive on time and in full.
Key challenges:
1. People: You know how important culture is; get it right and everything else will fall into place. You have a proven track record of taking your team on a journey and can demonstrate how you’ve created high performing teams.
2. Business: The business generally treats symptoms rather than root causes. The Supply Chain function is better than most, but they need the new leader to make the identification and correction of root causes an everyday and standard approach.
3. 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.
You, and your background:
Well, it’s quite clear that you need to be a seasoned Supply Chain professional. You have a breadth of manufacturing experience, ideally with a degree of complexity. You’re a modern-day Leader, with high levels of emotional intelligence who is comfortable engaging across the full spectrum of the business. You can take a top-level mandate, visualize what needs to be done, understand how to close the gaps to drive improvements, and effectively communicate this message across your team.
