Type: Full-time | Growing Functional Food Business
Are you an organised, proactive project manager with a passion for high-quality food and beverage production? Join our fast-scaling functional food business in London and help us deliver exceptional liquid products — from condiments and syrups to popsicles and beyond — to clients who care about quality as much as we do.
The Role
We’re looking for a Supply Chain Manager to take full ownership of our F&B liquid production runs — overseeing everything from planning and procurement through to manufacturing, logistics, and final delivery. This is a hands-on role at the heart of our operations, perfect for someone who loves driving multiple projects at once in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
What You’ll Do
1. Manage end-to-end production runs across condiments, syrups, popsicles, and other liquid products — from scheduling to client delivery.
2. Keep projects on time and on budget, tracking milestones and financials throughout.
3. Coordinate across teams — procurement, logistics, and account management — to keep production moving smoothly.
4. Liaise with manufacturing partners in London (Vauxhall) and New York, ensuring seamless scheduling and communication.
5. Uphold quality standards, collaborating with QA to meet regulatory and brand requirements.
6. Solve problems fast, identifying risks early and implementing corrective actions.
7. Champion continuous improvement, reviewing post-run outcomes to enhance efficiency and reduce waste.
8. Report clearly and concisely on project status, KPIs, and risks for internal stakeholders.
What You’ll Bring
9. 3–5+ years’ project management experience in F&B manufacturing, beverages, or consumer goods.
10. Strong understanding of liquid/semi-liquid production (syrups, sauces, condiments, etc.).
11. Experience managing multi-site or international production.
12. Excellent organisational, time management, and stakeholder communication skills.
13. Familiarity with supply chain and procurement processes.
14. Working knowledge of food quality and safety standards (HACCP, BRC desirable).
15. Proficiency in Microsoft Office and project management tools (e.g. Monday.com, Asana, Smartsheet).
16. A proactive, solutions-focused approach — calm under pressure, always ready to adapt.
Who You Are
17. Detail-oriented but commercially aware.
18. Collaborative, communicative, and energised by teamwork.
19. Passionate about food, beverages, and operational excellence.
Why Join Us
20. Be part of a growing, purpose-driven company reshaping functional food.
21. Work across exciting international projects.
22. Collaborate with a small, ambitious team where your ideas make an impact.
23. Enjoy a dynamic, entrepreneurial culture with real ownership and growth opportunities.
