Your Mission
To own the operational engine that converts customer demand into delivered revenue cleanly, profitably and predictably.
What You’ll Do
* Drive Throughput & Revenue: Ensure manufacturing orders flow seamlessly from quote to dispatch.
* Engineer Prevention: Build and enforce preventative systems that catch issues before they hit customers.
* Control Contracts & Performance: Oversee supplier and manufacturing partner contracts, ensuring compliance with commercial, delivery, and quality standards.
* Measure What Matters: Track on‑time delivery, NCR rate and yield and make those metrics visible, accurate and relentlessly improving.
* Lead With Discipline: Build a culture of accountability across every hub – no loose ends, no excuses, no repeat issues.
* Collaborate Across Teams: Work hand‑in‑hand with Sales, Quality and Product to align capacity, systems and commercial priorities.
* Report With Clarity: Deliver operational performance reports that leadership can trust – transparent, data‑backed and actionable.
You’ll Excel If You Are
* Experienced and Battle‑Tested: You’ve run operations in manufacturing, supply chain or commercial delivery and witnessed both success and failure.
* Preventative by Nature: You don’t firefight – you build systems that make firefighting unnecessary.
* Commercially Grounded: You understand how operational precision drives margin, retention and growth.
* Militant About Standards: You enforce quality and process with calm intensity, not chaos.
* Data‑Literate and System‑Savvy: You use tools (CRM, ERP, dashboards) to inform, not overwhelm.
* Operationally Bilingual: You can speak the language of engineers, suppliers and executives and align them.
Why This Role Matters
Every pound of growth runs through operations. If we deliver late or fail quality, we don’t grow. This role ensures that doesn’t happen. You’ll have full visibility and influence over how the business scales building the systems, teams and habits that turn manufacturing complexity into consistent performance.
Experience Required
7–15 years in manufacturing operations, production or supply chain, ideally within CNC machining, injection moulding or contract manufacturing.
Proven track record owning throughput, delivery and margin performance, not just process or project oversight.
Strong commercial acumen; confident managing contracts, supplier SLAs and quote‑to‑cash processes.
Experience in preventative quality systems (RCA, CAPA, ISO 9001 mindset) and building processes that stop repeat issues.
Comfortable with data and digital tools (ERP, CRM, dashboards) using metrics to drive action, not just report.
Experience managing distributed suppliers or teams across multiple regions (UK, China, India, EU preferred).
Exceptional cross‑functional communicator able to align Sales, Quality and Operations on one commercial goal.
Has seen failure and fixed it – understands how to turn operational pain points into system‑level prevention.
Benefits
* Competitive Salary: pay that reflects your skills and the value you bring.
* Stocked Kitchen: snacks, fresh fruit, drinks all day.
* 23 Days Annual Leave: plus bank holidays.
* Birthday Off: take an extra day to celebrate your birthday.
* Christmas Shutdown: relax over the holidays with additional company‑wide time off.
* Pet‑Friendly Office: bring your dog to our pet‑friendly workspace.
* Team Events: monthly team‑building activities.
* Career Growth: focus on internal promotions and development.

* Expanding Perks: more benefits as we grow.
