Most job ads for Production Managers sound the same. Lots of buzzwords. Not much honesty.
This isn’t one of those.
This role is about leading production in a business where quality and speed aren’t “nice to haves” — they’re non-negotiable. It’s complex, it’s multi-stage, and it needs someone who’s more than just a scheduler with a loud voice.
You’ll be the person who makes sure operations don’t just tick over — they improve.
What you’ll be doing
*
Running Production, Process and Dispensary teams, making sure everything runs safely, smoothly and on time.
*
Keeping quality and compliance standards consistently high — not just when audits are looming.
*
Finding smarter, leaner ways of working and making them stick.
*
Creating a culture where people are motivated to do their best, not just meet the bare minimum.
*
Keeping a close handle on costs, productivity and profitability.
*
Working across departments to keep customers happy and the wider operation joined up.
What you’ll need
*
Solid experience in FMCG or multi-stage manufacturing.
*
A track record of leading teams in regulated environments (BRC, ISO, or similar).
*
Leadership skills that inspire people to follow you — not just because your job title says so.
*
Calm under pressure, pragmatic, and happy to step in where needed.
*
Commercial awareness — because decisions on the floor affect the bottom line.
Why this job?
*
Because you won’t just be a caretaker — you’ll be driving improvements every day.
*
Because no two weeks look the same. Variety comes built in.
*
Because this is a growing business that backs change rather than blocking it.
Location
Based in Suffolk. You’ll need to be commutable — or ready to relocate
