Warwick Senior Leadership Role Full Time, ideally onsite
SME : Distribution : Advanced Assembly : Automation :: Service
Excellent salary, comprehensive benefits including bonus, car allowance, pension
This is a rare opportunity to take end:to:end ownership of operations in a business that’s investing, growing, and modernising. As the next Head of Supply Chain and Operations, you will shape how the organisation plans, sources, delivers, protects, and performs: creating a smarter, more resilient, and more efficient future.
If you’re a strategic operator who also enjoys being close to the action, this role gives you the autonomy, influence, and scope to make a genuine and lasting impact.
The Opportunity
As the senior leader for supply chain, procurement, distribution, health and safety, and facilities, you will be trusted to:
* Set the operational vision and lead high‑performing teams to deliver it
* Transform forecasting, demand planning, and supplier performance across the supply chain
* Build a professional, commercially driven procurement function that delivers measurable value
* Champion a proactive, people‑centred health and safety culture
* Elevate operational systems, processes, and reporting to build accuracy and efficiency
* Drive financial performance through effective cost control and insight
* Shape long‑term strategy as a key member of the Senior Management Team
You will be the voice of operational excellence across the organisation: influencing decisions, modernising processes, and ensuring the business is equipped for continued growth.
About You
You are a confident, credible operational leader with the experience and gravitas to drive change and unite teams. You bring:
* A strong track record leading supply chain, procurement, and distribution within an SME or similar environment
* Deep operational knowledge backed by ERP‑driven planning and data‑led decision making
* Experience improving performance, embedding standards, and delivering large‑scale operational improvement
* Commercial instinct, strong negotiation capability, and proven cost‑management success
* Excellent communication skills and the ability to engage at every level: from warehouse teams to boardroom
* Leadership qualities that inspire trust, build capability, and lift performance
* Desirable: exposure to regulated environments, ISO/Lean/Six Sigma methodologies, or facilities management experience.
Why This Role Stands Out
* You will have full leadership scope and visibility across every operational function
* Your work directly shapes the company’s ability to scale, innovate, and compete
* You’ll join a collaborative senior leadership team that values expertise, accountability, and continuous improvement
* This is a business where decisions are made quickly: and your ideas genuinely matter
* You’ll have the chance to modernise systems, develop people, and embed new ways of working
* Its a role that offers long‑term influence, professional challenge, and the opportunity to build something highly respected
This is an excellent opportunity to join a fast‑paced, growing SME, who is developing its people and processes to get to the next level of growth. The role will offer the right candidate, genuine career progression in a forward‑thinking, dynamic organisation.
