Supply Chain Operations Manager - Dual Site
Essex and Kent | Up to £48,000 + electric company car + bonus + benefits
Your new company
A confidential client is recruiting for a Supply Chain Operations Manager to lead two Mini Distribution Centre operations near Brentwood and Gillingham. This is a permanent, full-time opportunity within a supply chain environment, focused on operational performance, customer service, people leadership, health and safety, and stakeholder communication.
The role will suit a hands-on logistics, supply chain, warehousing, inventory, distribution or transport professional who is ready to step into a broader Operations Manager-level role. You do not need to already be an established Operations Manager, but you will need to demonstrate strong people management experience and confidence in leading operational teams.
Your new role
You will be responsible for two First Line Managers across the two sites, with around 20 to 25 colleagues across the wider team. The role will involve supporting day-to-day operations, maintaining service levels, managing operational standards, coaching and developing team members, and working closely with internal stakeholders to resolve issues and ensure products are available when required.
