This is next. And it's big.

As a leading food manufacturing business, we are on a journey of major growth and transformation. With £30 million committed to Capex investment, the future isn't just bright—it's busy, ambitious, and full of opportunity.

What You Need to Bring:

* 3 to 5 years of experience in demand planning, forecasting, or supply chain, ideally within food manufacturing

* A proactive, problem-solving mindset—you don't just highlight inefficiencies, you help fix them

* Excellent communication and collaboration skills to influence stakeholders

* A desire to grow and develop in a fast-paced, evolving environment

What's in It for You?:

* £40,000 base salary

* 25 days holiday, rising to 28 with length of service, plus bank holidays

* Income protection and life assurance

* Private medical insurance, with options to cover family members
