Join a high-performing business where people come first
Are you a senior supply chain leader who thrives on driving performance, shaping strategy, and leading from the front?
Do you want to make a real impact in a collaborative, fast-paced environment where your decisions matter?
We’re working with a leading business to recruit a Supply Chain Manager into a newly created role within their Ipswich-based Operations team.
This is a key, business‑critical hire. We’re looking for an experienced supply chain professional with strong leadership credentials, a strategic mindset, and the ability to deliver results.
This is your opportunity to take full ownership of the supply chain function — leading the team, setting direction, and ensuring delivery against business goals. You’ll work cross‑functionally with Sales, Purchasing, Logistics, Product, Technical teams, and external suppliers to keep everything moving seamlessly.
What you’ll be doing:
* Leading and developing a high-performing, engaged Supply Chain team
* Defining and executing a clear, effective Supply Chain strategy
* Managing end-to-end operations: procurement, inventory, logistics, manufacturing, and returns
* Building strong supplier relationships and negotiating SLAs to drive performance
* Overseeing S&OP, forecasting, and stock planning across multiple sites
* Identifying improvements, reducing risk, and driving continuous improvement
* Acting as the link between Supply, Sales, Logistics, and Technical teams
* Championing operational excellence and a culture of accountability and collaboration
What we’re looking for:
* Proven at senior level within supply chain management
* A confident, people-focused leader who develops and inspires teams
* Strategic, solutions-driven, and comfortable managing complexity
* Experienced in ERP systems, procurement, and supplier management
* Skilled in continuous improvement (Lean Six Sigma or similar)
* Analytical, organised, and able to influence at all levels
If you’re looking for a role where you can lead, shape strategy, and deliver real impact across a multi-site operation — this is it.
