Job Description

Supply Chain Manager

We're recruiting for an experienced Supply Chain Manager to join a fast-paced FMCG manufacturing site in the North East.

This is a hands-on leadership role where you'll take full ownership of planning, procurement, warehousing and logistics. You'll lead a small team (4-8 people) and be responsible for keeping materials flowing, stock accurate, suppliers performing, and operations running smoothly.

This isn't a corporate "sit behind a desk" job. It's real operational leadership in a busy factory environment. You'll work closely with Production, Sales and Finance to align demand, manage S&OP, control costs and improve performance across the board.



What you'll be doing:

  • Leading planning, purchasing, warehousing and logistics

  • Driving forecast accuracy and stock control

  • Managing suppliers and negotiating contracts

  • Overseeing 3PL and transport performance

  • Improving systems, processes and KPIs

  • Playing a key role in cost control and continuous improvement



What we're looking for:

  • Proven Supply Chain leadership experience in FMCG or manufacturing

  • Strong background across planning, procurement and logistics

  • Confident managing suppliers and driving performance

  • Commercially aware and comfortable working at pace

  • ERP/MRP experience



What's on offer:

  • 55-65k salary

  • Bonus scheme

  • 24 days holiday + birthday off

  • Early finish on Fridays

  • Health plan, life assurance, pension

  • Real progression opportunities

If you're someone who enjoys improving processes, leading teams and making a real impact in a fast-moving environment, this could be the one.
