What's on offer:
- A genuinely global remit with around 25% international travel, real influence at senior stakeholder level, and the chance to shape a function from a strategic standpoint rather than simply run one.
This role would suit an experienced Supply Chain leader from a complex, multi site manufacturing environment, ideally with strong S&OP and JD Edwards (or similar ERP) experience, who is ready for a Senior Manager / Director adjacent role with genuine scope to make their mark.
