About the Company:
This is a well-established manufacturing business operating in a fast-paced FMCG environment. The company has a strong operational footprint and a growing level of complexity across inventory, logistics, and production.
To support ongoing performance and reliability, the business is looking for a strong Warehouse and Inventory Manager to ensure stock accuracy, traceability, and operational flow remain robust as volumes continue to grow.
About the Role:
The Warehouse and Inventory Manager is a critical leadership role with full ownership of inventory governance, data integrity, and warehouse performance across the business.
This role is responsible for ensuring complete accuracy, traceability, and optimisation of all materials and finished goods, providing the business with reliable, real-time inventory information to support production, financial reporting, compliance, and decision-making.
This is a hands-on, operational and analytical position, leading a small on-site warehouse team and working closely with Production, Finance, Planning, Quality, and Operations.
Key responsibilities include:
- End-to-end ownership of inventory processes, stock accuracy, and traceability
- Ensuring disciplined, consistent stock movements and data integrity across all warehouse activities

- Driving continuous improvement across warehouse workflows, layout, and interfaces with production
- Leading and lifting performance within the warehouse team through clear expectations and accountability
- Ensuring inbound and outbound logistics consistently meet production and dispatch requirements

This is a high-impact role with significant autonomy, ideal for someone who enjoys improving structure, discipline, and performance in a critical operational function.

You’ll likely bring:
- 5–10 years’ experience in inventory management, warehouse leadership, or supply chain roles within FMCG or manufacturing
- Strong ERP and stock control experience, with a deep understanding of how inventory data flows through systems
- Experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (highly regarded but not essential)
