Shift Operations Manager
Food Manufacturing | East Yorkshire | 4 on, 4 off (Days)
£55,000 - £60,000
Some operations roles are about maintaining what is already there.
This one is about helping to build something better.
You’ll take responsibility for a significant part of a fast-paced food manufacturing site, leading through a team of Department Managers and playing an important role in the continued development of the operation.
There is plenty of opportunity to improve performance, strengthen the management team and introduce more consistent ways of working. However, this won’t be achieved through process alone.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The people side will be just as important.
You’ll need to build relationships, understand what motivates the team and create genuine support for change. There will be times when you need to challenge, but the ability to bring people with you will be what makes the biggest difference.
Your role will include:
- Leading and developing a team of Department Managers
- Improving performance across safety, quality, service, cost, and people
- Building greater consistency and accountability across the shift
- Identifying and delivering continuous improvement opportunities
- Developing the capability of the wider management team
- Supporting longer-term improvements across the site

Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
You’ll ideally have experience leading through other managers within a fast-paced food manufacturing environment.
A good understanding of continuous improvement would be valuable, but you don’t need to arrive with every answer. More important is your ability to ask the right questions, build trust, and turn ideas into lasting improvements.
The business is growing, the site is evolving, and there will be genuine opportunity to develop alongside it.
