Define and execute the company's supply chain strategy, ensuring alignment with business objectives, operational requirements, and growth plans.
Establish clear departmental objectives, KPIs, and performance measures focused on quality, cost, delivery, inventory, and service performance.
Partner with senior leadership to ensure supply chain capability supports programme requirements, production plans, and strategic goals.

Supplier & Commercial Management

Develop and maintain strategic supplier relationships to achieve best-in-class performance across quality, cost, delivery, and responsiveness.
Lead supplier selection, contract negotiations, and commercial agreements to secure long-term value and supply continuity.
Drive supplier development and performance improvement initiatives.
Identify and mitigate supply chain risks through supplier diversification, contingency planning, and business continuity strategies.

Operations & Performance

Oversee inventory planning, stores operations, and material control processes, ensuring inventory accuracy, traceability, and material availability.
Manage inbound and outbound logistics activities to ensure efficient, compliant, and cost-effective movement of materials and products.
Monitor and report on key supply chain performance metrics, implementing improvement initiatives to enhance operational effectiveness.
Drive continuous improvement across all supply chain functions, improving efficiency, scalability, process robustness, and data accuracy.
Ensure effective utilisation and ongoing enhancement of ERP/MRP systems and supply chain planning processes.

About You

You will have:

Extensive experience leading supply chain functions within engineering, manufacturing, automotive, motorsport, aerospace, defence, or other complex technical environments.
Significant leadership experience across procurement, inventory management, logistics, and supplier quality functions.
Strong knowledge of end-to-end supply chain management, including strategic sourcing, supplier development, inventory control, logistics, and quality assurance.
A successful track record of developing and implementing supply chain strategies that improve performance, resilience, and scalability.
Strong commercial acumen, including experience negotiating supplier agreements and managing supplier performance.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make data-driven decisions.
Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence at all levels of an organisation.
Experience using ERP/MRP systems, supply chain planning tools, and quality management frameworks.

What You'll Bring

Strategic thinking combined with strong operational execution.
A proactive and collaborative leadership style.
The ability to thrive in a fast-paced, technically demanding environment.
A passion for continuous improvement and driving organisational performance.
Strong influencing and negotiation skills, both internally and externally.
