We’re partnering with a market-leading international consumer goods company experiencing significant growth and transformation. With ambitious plans to expand its D2C and e-commerce operations, the business is looking for an experienced Head of Supply Chain to lead operational excellence and build a supply chain fit for the future.

Reporting to the General Manager, you’ll lead a team of around 10 people across supply chain planning, logistics, and operations. The role’s primary focus is to enhance forecasting accuracy, streamline processes, and optimise cost-to-serve as the business scales.

You’ll act as a key strategic partner to Sales and Marketing, using data-driven insights to influence decisions and ensure operations keep pace with commercial growth.

About the role:

  • Lead and execute the end-to-end supply chain strategy across planning, logistics, and customer operations
  • Drive demand planning transformation and improvements to S&OP process
  • Embed data-driven decision-making across the function
  • Strengthen e-commerce and D2C operations, ensuring scalability and service excellence
  • Develop, mentor, and motivate a high-performing supply chain team

About you:

  • Proven supply chain leadership experience within fast-moving consumer goods, ideally with strong D2C and/or e-commerce exposure
  • Expertise in demand planning / S&OP, forecasting, and operational efficiency
  • Skilled in SAP or advanced planning systems; highly analytical and commercially focused
  • Hands-on, pragmatic, and comfortable working in a transforming, fast-paced environment
  • Strong communicator and influencer, able to partner effectively with cross-functional teams

This is an opportunity to play a pivotal role in shaping the operational future of a dynamic, high-growth business. You’ll join a collaborative, international environment with genuine autonomy and scope to make a lasting impact.

If you’re a data-driven, commercially minded supply chain leader ready to drive change and deliver results, I’d love to hear from you.
