Head of Supply Chain Job at Hunter Campbell Limited (Lower Hutt)

Job Description

About the Company: We are partnering with a fast-growing, entrepreneurially led business based in Lower Hutt that has scaled at an extraordinary rate over the past 12 months. The business imports raw materials which are processed and manufactured on-site before being exported to customers globally, operating in an environment subject to strict compliance requirements. The founders have built something impressive in a short space of time and now need to invest in getting the supply chain function fit for purpose, fast. This person will be coming in to do just that. About the Role: This is a hands-on role with impressive scope. You will quickly assess immediate priorities and build the structures, processes and disciplines from the ground up. This is about fixing current operational flaws, and implementing future supply chain – personally driving the work from the front line, not simply advising and directing. The initial focus will be inventory management and accuracy, before extending across purchasing, demand planning, warehouse execution, document control, and compliance frameworks. The business is also relocating its warehouse in the coming months, and you will lead that move to ensure the new site is set up correctly from day one.

Requirements

Deep working knowledge across inventory management, purchasing, planning and warehouse operations
Experience in a regulated environment, with confidence across compliance, storage, distribution and documentation requirements
The drive and decisiveness to assess quickly and act with confidence – you will need to hit the ground running
