Food Manufacturing | Growth Phase

If you’re the kind of leader who walks into a business, looks at the flow, the way people communicate, and immediately sees how it could all run better — this might be worth a chat.

We’re supporting a rapidly growing, food manufacturer that’s looking to bring in a Vice President of Supply Chain to professionalise and scale operations across a multi-site U.S. network.

It’s a mix of strategy and execution: shaping the roadmap, building capability, and delivering measurable results — from planning and logistics to procurement, inventory, and customer service.

You’ll report directly into the senior leadership team and play a major part in building a modern, data-driven, and commercially aligned supply chain.

What You’ll Be Doing

Leading the end-to-end supply chain strategy across multiple manufacturing sites.
Embedding S&OP / IBP discipline to improve visibility and planning accuracy.
Building and developing a capable, performance-focused team.
Driving cost, cash, and service improvements through smarter network design.
Partnering with investors and executive leadership to support ambitious growth plans.

What We’re Looking For

Proven leadership experience in ingredients manufacturing (essential).
Experienence in Dairy/Whey/Proteins (highly advatagous).
A track record of leading multi-site or integrated supply chain operations.
Strong knowledge of planning, logistics, and procurement functions.
Data-driven, financially literate, and comfortable working in fast-paced, evolving environments.
A leadership style that’s hands-on, people-focused, and commercially grounded.

Why Apply

The investment, ambition, and autonomy to actually make change happen.
Opportunity to build and shape the function, not just maintain it.
Exposure to investors and leadership who value speed, transparency, and results.

If you’ve built your career improving supply chains in ingredients manufacturing and want the freedom to design the next one your way — let’s talk.
