Full job description

As our Bakery Operations Manager, you’ll oversee our entire bakery function — managing production output, leading a growing team, and ensuring our standards are met every single day. You’ll play a key role in improving systems, increasing efficiency, and working with senior management to support long-term business goals.

This is not a hands-off role — we’re looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, can lead from the front, and understands what it takes to run a high-performing food production facility.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Operational Management: Manage and coordinate daily bakery operations, ensuring all products are made to spec, on time, and in full.
Team Leadership: Lead a team of bakers and team leaders, creating clear communication, structure, and accountability across shifts.
Quality Assurance: Uphold rigorous quality control processes across all products. Work closely with the bakers, packers and drivers to maintain consistency during growth.
Process & System Improvement: Identify and implement improvements across production, staffing, stock management, and scheduling.
Planning & Scheduling: Oversee production planning and forecasting in line with weekly order volumes, seasonal changes, and new product launches.
Compliance & Safety: Maintain full compliance with food safety, hygiene, and health & safety regulations. Keep the bakery audit-ready at all times.
Cross-functional Collaboration: Work with logistics, managers, and senior leadership to ensure smooth coordination across all departments.
KPI Reporting: Track key operational metrics including output, yield, wastage, labour efficiency, and downtime – providing regular reporting to the senior team.

What we need

Minimum 3–5 years' experience in a senior operations role within bakery, patisserie, or food manufacturing
Proven track record of leading and developing production teams in a high-output environment where you have experience and approving efficiencies
Strong understanding of bakery production methods, food safety standards, and operational compliance
Highly organised with excellent attention to detail and problem-solving skills
Strong leadership style – firm but fair, clear communicator, and capable of managing change
Comfortable using production planning tools, spreadsheets, and reporting systems
Practical, hands-on attitude – willing to be on the floor as much as needed
Resilient, calm under pressure, and driven to consistently improve team performance and product output

Pay: From £40,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Discounted or free food
Free parking

Work Location: In person
