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.

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.
