Operations Planning Manager

Location: Heler Foods Packing, Snowdonia Business Park, Penrhyndeudraeth, North Wales, LL48 6LD

Salary: Competitive

Contract: Full Time | 12-Month Fixed-Term Contract (Maternity Cover)

This role is offered on a fixed-term basis for up to 12 months to provide maternity leave cover.

At Heler Foods, our people are part of our extended Heler Family — the driving force behind everything we do.

From crafting award-winning cheeses to delivering service that sets new standards, we work together to shape the future of food.

CHEESEMAKERS. FUTURE SHAPERS. CHANGEMAKERS.

Rooted in tradition and growing into the future, we're bold, ambitious and proud of where we're going next.

Every colleague has a voice here — and every step you take helps move us forward.

Based at our dedicated cheese packing facility in Minffordd, North Wales, Heler Foods Packing employs over 250 colleagues and supplies major UK and international retailers. Our BRC AA accredited and Red Tractor certified site uses state-of-the-art technology to deliver innovative cheese packing solutions across retail, food manufacturing and contract packing.

THE OPPORTUNITY

We're looking for an experienced Operations Planning Manager to join our team at Heler Foods Packing.

This is an exciting opportunity to lead the planning function, influence strategic supply chain decisions and drive operational excellence across purchasing, production planning, inventory management and third-party logistics.

In this role, you will:

Lead all planning activities across the site, ensuring efficient production scheduling and material availability.
Develop and implement best-in-class Material Requirements Planning (MRP) processes, reducing reliance on spreadsheets and manual systems.
Drive Just-in-Time (JiT) inventory management to optimise stock levels while maintaining exceptional customer service.
Manage supplier relationships, procurement activities and third-party logistics providers to improve performance and reduce costs.
Lead a team of three direct reports while working collaboratively across Operations, Commercial and Supply Chain functions to deliver business objectives.

You'll be joining a workplace where collaboration and curiosity are encouraged. Where questioning "how it's always been done" is part of daily life. And where discovering better ways of working is simply what we do.

ABOUT YOU

We're looking for someone who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and enjoys solving complex operational challenges.

You'll bring:

Significant experience in production planning, supply chain or operations planning within a manufacturing or food production environment.
Strong procurement, purchasing and inventory management experience.
Excellent analytical skills with advanced Excel capability and experience using ERP/MRP systems such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics or Sage.
Strong leadership and people management skills, with experience of developing, motivating and leading high-performing teams.
Excellent presentation and communication skills, with the confidence and credibility to present operational performance, strategic proposals and business updates to senior leadership and Board-level stakeholders.
Proven ability to influence stakeholders and build strong working relationships across all levels of the business.
A continuous improvement mindset with the confidence to challenge existing processes and drive positive change.
Behaviours aligned to our values: Be Better, Be Collaborative, Be Inquisitive, Be Yourself and Take Ownership.

WHY JOIN HELER FOODS?

Because we don't just offer jobs — we shape careers.

Whether you're just starting out, stepping up or bringing years of experience, we invest in our people so they can thrive and grow.

Here, you'll find:

Strong training foundations
Clear, meaningful career progression
A modern manufacturing environment
A supportive and collaborative leadership team
Opportunities to lead meaningful business improvements
A culture where continuous improvement is part of everyday life

This is a place where you'll feel empowered to make a difference — and confident to take bold steps.

JOIN THE EXTENDED HELER FAMILY

Are you ready to shape the future of planning at Heler Foods?

We'd love to hear from you.

Closing Date: 1 August

Apply today and become part of a business that's rooted in tradition and growing into the future.
