Are you a master of logic, flow, and precision? This pharmaceutical company is seeking a high-impact leader to take the helm of their site operations on the outskirts of Cambridge.
This isn't just about moving boxes; it is a critical leadership role responsible for the entire lifecycle of the manufacturing workflow, from the moment raw materials hit the dock to the final distribution of these life-changing products.
What's your mission: You will be the "air traffic controller" of the site. Your goal is to ensure that production processes are lean, this highly regulated warehouse is compliant, and that manufacturing schedules are met with surgical precision.
Salary circa GBP60,000 depending on the skills and experience you are bringing to the table - along with excellent benefits including private healthcare and dental cover, generous holiday allowance, life assurance cover and share scheme.
What you will be doing:
* Develop and execute detailed production schedules and capacity plans that optimise the use of resources and materials.
* Oversee daily operations (receiving, storage, shipping) while ensuring strict adherence to GMP and GDP standards.
* Implement lean processes, systems and monitor stock levels to ensure the company will never face a stockout or a bottleneck.
* Lead and coordinate with teams across Manufacturing, QC, R&D, and Procurement to keep business goals aligned.
* Proactively identify potential supply chain disruptions or equipment downtime and build the contingency plans that keep things moving.
What you need:
* You are a problem‑solver who thrives under pressure and can communicate complex plans to everyone from shop floor to senior management.
* Extensive experience in production planning or scheduling, preferably within the pharmaceutical industry or other heavily regulated industry if not.
* A degree level qualification or equivalent, in Operations Management or other relevant subject.
* Knowledge of GMP/GDP systems and pharmaceutical regulations (ICH guidelines).
* Proficient in ERP planning software (SAP, Oracle, or equivalent) and the Microsoft Office suite (especially Excel).
* Experience with Kanban, Six Sigma, or other quality management methodologies is a major plus.
You will have full accountability for optimising production workflows, right through to despatch. If you'd be up for this challenge, in a highly regulated, fast‑paced environment, then apply today!
