We offer a place where you can feel safe, be supported, and make an impact so we can all focus on the future together.

Your opportunity

The purpose of this role is to lead and deliver high performance across our Huhtamaki Foodservice manufacturing site in Blackburn and its end-to-end supply chain. You will be accountable for developing and executing operational plans that achieve both operational and financial targets, while ensuring the site operates safely, efficiently, and in line with business strategy.

The role also focuses on building strong customer relationships—directly and through Account Management—to ensure effective communication, collaboration, and management of expectations.

Building and developing a high-performing leadership team, driving engagement, accountability, and a culture of continuous improvement, supported by robust succession planning, capability development, and performance management.
Driving operational excellence through WCO and continuous improvement initiatives, including leading key site projects, investments, and transformation activities.
Ensuring cost competitiveness, operational efficiency, and the delivery of ongoing optimisation and continuous improvement plans.
Collaborating with global operations to plan future manufacturing platforms and technologies that support growth, competitiveness, and cost efficiency.
Protecting company assets and ensuring capital projects are effectively managed.
Delivering best-in-class customer service and quality performance.
Ensuring world-class health and safety standards.
Building a high-performance culture aligned to Huhtamaki’s values of Care, Dare, and Deliver.
Ensuring sustainable talent supply, development, and engagement across the site.
Driving automation, digitalisation, and innovation across manufacturing processes.
Ensuring full compliance with Huhtamaki values, ethical standards, and legal requirements, while protecting company interests through effective external representation and industry engagement.

Significant senior leadership experience from a manufacturing environment.
Experience within packaging, FMCG, or foodservice industries (highly preferred).
Strong knowledge of end-to-end operations, including production, engineering, and supply chain.
Proven ability to lead large teams and complex organisational structures.
A track record of delivering sustainable operational and financial improvements.
Strong knowledge of health and safety and regulatory compliance.
Experience managing legal entity responsibilities and statutory compliance.
