  • Building better processes - auditing what we do today, shaping what we should do tomorrow, and bringing your team with you through training and new ways of working
  • Championing Health & Safety - leading by example, keeping standards high and ensuring everyone feels looked after
  • Taking ownership of performance - managing budgets, reviewing KPIs and driving improvements with confidence and clarity

Requirements:

  • Experience in FMCG or fast-paced manufacturing - ideally a couple years in a leadership position
  • A warm leadership style - approachable, supportive and positive, with a knack for bringing out the best in others
