Operations Manager
70k - 80k plus car allowance - FMCG
Central Belt Scotland
Every operations manager role has generic elements to it - people management, driving improvements across the main KPIs, working across all functions. You expect to see that in every advert for an operations role at this level.
So what's the difference here? The three stand outs for this job are:
- You are working for a forward thinking, inspirational Site director
- The site is investing in its future
- The salary and accompanying package are highly attractive to draw real talent into the business
The Site Director has a reputation for his ability to grow and develop teams and needs likeminded individuals in key senior posts to drive improvements and people engagement
The investments planned will make a significant difference to people and efficiencies allowing for growth and optimisation.
The full package as well as the salary is an attraction, and we are hoping it will appeal to candidates who can succeed in this role and be well placed for future succession planning.
This FMCG site needs an operations manager whose background has been FMCG or food manufacturing. Working in deadline driven environments requires tenacity and resilience that not everyone possesses - or enjoys. If you enjoy demanding, fast-paced environments with variety and surprises, this role will interest you. You need that energy and drive here to deliver improvements, find those wins and take the site forward from a production perspective.
Other areas to highlight around the specifics of the role:
- Due to the daily, weekly deadlines, you need the agility to assimilate information at speed and make effective decisions.
- As part of the Management Team, there is always the balance to be met across the day-to-day involvement in the operation and the strategic input.
- People and process are key elements of the role - leadership of the team and building a cohesive production unit is vital.
- This role will have exposure at a senior level and delivery here will open up opportunities for progression.
- A wider team and strong L&D support for training and future personal development.
In terms of background, you will need the following experience:
- FMCG or Food manufacturing experience is essential to progress your application
- Previous involvement in the operational strategy in previous roles
- Successful delivery of measurable improvements.
- An affinity with numbers, able to process the production data at speed
- Being able to keep a handle on the bigger picture whilst knowing the detail.
- People want to work with you and they thrive in your team. You build respect and trust and in turn that shows in the delivery from your teams.
- Clear, communication skills alongside actionable plans is a must in this role.
If this is all sounding like you and just the job you are looking for please get in touch today. We work extensively in food, drink and FMCG manufacturing areas at the middle to senior level.
