As the saying goes, ‘mighty oaks from little acorns grow.’ If you’re an experienced Quality Manager looking to step up, the opportunity is here.
I’m working with a client who understands the value their Technical team bring to the business. Ethics and integrity are at the heart of this third generation, family-owned business. Don’t mistake family-owned for small; in this case turnover is in excess of £1 billion and with strong business growth plans in place, the potential for you to make your mark is immense. Equally, big doesn’t mean anonymous, they believe in giving back to the community, which is carried through their values and caring approach to their employees.
As the Technical Manager, you will be part of the Senior Leadership Team. You’re great at building effective working relationships with customers, suppliers, and colleagues. This role calls for a strong and experienced leader, someone who is forensic in finding the root cause, tracing any non-conformances back through the supply chain to find the answer, then coaching internal and external stakeholders to share learnings and achieve improvements. Quite often, finding improvements and solving problems can be hiding in plain sight, it’s down to common sense and logic. Working closely with production and coaching cross-functional teams will play a big part in the role initially to ensure everyone is on board.
With business growth on the agenda, we’re looking for more than just technical skills. Strong commercial acumen and the ability to identify potential bottlenecks across factory operations including production, packing, and distribution will be key in this role.
Leading the HACCP team and championing food safety across the site, you’ll be as happy in the office updating the QMS as you will in safety shoes on the factory floor. Used to working to BRC standards, your category experience will ideally come from the meat sector, or at the very least a chilled, fresh food, high-care environment.
If you’re proud of your achievements so far and feel ready for the next challenge, where you can play your part and influence, send your CV today. I’ll be in touch to share more details about this fantastic company and the opportunities they offer.
