Head of Supply Chain & Operations
Warwick | Senior Leadership Role | Full Time, ideally onsite
SME - Distribution - Advanced Assembly - Automation -- Service
Excellent salary, comprehensive benefits including bonus, car allowance, pension
This is a rare opportunity to take end-to-end ownership of operations in a business that's investing, growing, and modernising. As the next Head of Supply Chain & Operations, you will shape the way the organisation plans, sources, delivers, protects, and performs - creating a smarter, more resilient, and more efficient future.
If you're a strategic operator who also enjoys being close to the action, this role gives you the autonomy, influence, and scope to make a genuine and lasting impact.
The Opportunity
As the senior leader for supply chain, procurement, distribution, health & safety, and facilities, you will be trusted to:
- Set the operational vision and lead high-performing teams to deliver it
- Transform forecasting, demand planning, and supplier performance across the supply chain
- Build a professional, commercially driven procurement function that delivers measurable value
- Champion a proactive, people-centred health & safety culture
- Elevate operational systems, processes, and reporting to build accuracy and efficiency
- Drive financial performance through effective cost control and insight
- Shape long-term strategy as a key member of the Senior Management Team
You will be the voice of operational excellence across the organisation - influencing decisions, modernising processes, and ensuring the business is equipped for continued growth.
About You
You are a confident, credible operational leader with the experience and gravitas to drive change and unite teams. You bring:
- A strong track record leading supply chain, procurement, and distribution within an SME or similar environment
- Deep operational knowledge backed by ERP-driven planning and data-led decision making
- Experience improving performance, embedding standards, and delivering large-scale operational improvement
- Commercial instinct, strong negotiation capability, and proven cost-management success
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to engage at every level - from warehouse teams to boardroom
- Leadership qualities that inspire trust, build capability, and lift performance
Desirable: exposure to regulated environments, ISO/Lean/Six Sigma methodologies, or facilities management experience.
Why This Role Stands Out
- You will have full leadership scope and visibility across every operational function
- Your work directly shapes the company's ability to scale, innovate, and compete
- You'll join a collaborative senior leadership team that values expertise, accountability, and continuous improvement
- This is a business where decisions are made quickly - and your ideas genuinely matter
- You'll have the chance to modernise systems, develop people, and embed new ways of working
- It's a role that offers long-term influence, professional challenge, and the opportunity to build something highly respected
This is an excellent opportunity to join a fast paced, growing SME, who is developing its people and processes to get to the next level of growth. The role will offer the right candidate, genuine career progression in a forward thinking, dynamic organisation.
