🏭 Sector: Complex, Regulated Manufacturing
We are currently supporting a major global manufacturer with a long-established site in Liverpool that is entering a significant phase of operational transformation.

* The chance to shape and deliver a five-year transformation roadmap that touches every function.
* A site-wide leadership role with visibility across global operations and support from a global OpEx network.
* A culture that needs clarity, structure and energy, giving you licence to influence, simplify and raise standards.
* A strong package with excellent benefits and long-term potential for further progression.
🧭 We are looking for someone who:
* Has personally deployed an operating system, not just sustained or tweaked one.
* Brings deep Lean and Operational Excellence expertise with the ability to simplify complex environments.
* Can assess a site’s maturity and build a practical, sequenced roadmap that people can understand and follow.
* Is confident in coaching senior leaders and engaging shop floor teams to build capability and ownership.
* Thrives in environments where cultural change and behavioural alignment are essential.
* Has experience in FMCG, food and drink, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, automotive or other high-cost manufacturing sectors.
* Is resilient, pragmatic, collaborative, and comfortable working line side when needed.
If you are an experienced Operational Excellence Leader who wants to shape a full site-wide system, influence a major transformation and make a measurable impact, we would love to have a confidential conversation.
