Description
About the Role

We are seeking a strategic yet hands-on Operations Manager who treats production, quality, engineering, and administration as one interconnected system, and who thrives on getting all of them firing together at pace. You will hold full operational accountability, transforming scaling strategies into daily execution while fostering a culture of extreme ownership and safety.


Responsibilities
  • Oversee end-to-end factory operations, ensuring aggressive production targets are met safely, efficiently, and on schedule.
  • Lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing, multi-functional team across production, quality assurance, engineering, and administration.

  • Cultivate a continuous improvement culture focused on maximizing throughput, driving down waste, and optimizing resource efficiency.

  • Maintain strict compliance with FSSC 22000 and ISO 9001 standards, ensuring the factory remains in a constant state of audit readiness.

  • Oversee fleet operations, vehicle maintenance schedules, and distribution channels to minimize transit costs and ensure on-time delivery.

  • Manage the operational budget, monitor expenditure tracking, and implement cost-saving initiatives without compromising quality.

  • Collaborate closely with executive leadership on capacity planning, capital expenditure (CapEx) projects, and scaling strategies.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Food Science, Operations Management, or a related technical field.

  • 7+ years of senior operations or production management experience, strictly within the food manufacturing or FMCG sectors.

  • A proven track record of managing multi-functional teams and managing diverse department heads.

  • Deep, practical understanding of FSSC 22000 and ISO 9001 quality management systems.

  • Exceptional analytical capabilities, robust long-term planning skills, and a results-oriented mindset that thrives in fast-paced, scaling environments.
