Why Greencore?

Following our combination with Bakkavor in January 2026, we're one of the UK's leading creators of convenience food, driven by a simple purpose: to make every day taste better. We’re a vibrant and fast-moving business, proud to employ over 28,000 colleagues across 36 manufacturing sites and 21 distribution depots in the UK and the US. Together, we bring great food to life, producing high-quality products for every meal occasion - from breakfast through to dinner and dessert, with lunch and snacking in between. In FY25, our combined business generated revenues of approximately 4bn.

Our extensive direct-to-store (DTS) network, with 17 depots across the UK, enables us to deliver fresh and frozen food—both our own and from trusted partners—to thousands of stores every day, helping ensure consumers enjoy the very best, whenever and wherever they shop.

Please note: This role is based in our Central Leeds head office (minimum three days per week on site). The role will involve regular travel to Greencore sites across the UK.

What is the MBE Programme, and why is now an exciting time to join as a Business Project Manager?

Over time, our business processes have grown increasingly complex, raising both risk and cost, while limiting our agility. Meanwhile, customer expectations and market demands continue to rise. The Making Business Easier (MBE) Programme is a cornerstone of our drive for commercial and operational excellence, helping us manage our cost base more effectively and prepare for future growth.

The MBE Programme is focused on streamlining and simplifying core processes, improving access to high-quality business data, and investing in the right technologies to support these improvements. As a Business Project Manager, you'll collaborate with colleagues across the organisation and champion best practices that elevate our ways of working.

What you'll be doing

As a Business Project Manager at Greencore, you will lead the end-to-end delivery of a complex, business-critical Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) initiative within the MBE Programme - planning, monitoring, managing, and reporting on deliverables, tasks, milestones, budgets, and resources. Your work will be aligned with agreed timelines and financial targets, ensuring successful outcomes across the board. You will be working closely with the Initiative Owner, IT Business Partner and a cross-functional project team to design, implement and embed improved processes, data and ways of working.

Key responsibilities include:

• Collaborate with business, technical, and data stakeholders to ensure the solution meets operational and commercial needs.
• Develop and maintain structured project plans to track scope, milestones, deliverables, and progress.
• Manage project scope and change control processes to prevent uncontrolled changes.
• Monitor project budgets and forecasts to ensure cost-effective delivery.
• Coordinate internal and external resources to avoid delivery bottlenecks and ensure smooth execution.
• Maintain clear stakeholder communication to manage expectations and ensure alignment.
• Identify, assess, and mitigate project risks through effective risk management practices.
• Ensure deliverables meet quality, compliance, and documentation standards while managing dependencies and critical paths across the wider programme.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience delivering complex business change and transformation projects, ideally within FMCG, manufacturing, or supply chain environments.
• Experience with enterprise PLM platforms such as Siemens Teamcenter, SAP PLM, Oracle Agile PLM, Dassault ENOVIA, Infor PLM, or similar.
• Strong project management experience across methodologies including PRINCE2, Agile, Waterfall, PMI, and MSP.
• Relevant project management certifications (e.g. PRINCE2, Certified Scrum Master).
• Proficient in MS Project, Microsoft Office Suite, and related project management tools.
• Experience leading teams and guiding cross-functional stakeholders.
• Excellent communication, organisational, and time management skills.
• Strong risk management, analytical, and problem-solving capabilities.
• Ability to prioritise activities effectively across multiple competing demands.
• Demonstrable experience with RAID and change management processes.
• Experience managing third-party suppliers and vendors is desirable.

What you'll get in return

• Competitive salary and job-related benefits
• 25 days holiday + bank holidays
• Car Allowance: 5,500
• Annual Target Bonus: 10%
• Competitive matched pension contributions
• Life insurance up to 4x salary
• PMI Cover: Individual
• Company share save scheme
• Greencore Qualifications
• Exclusive Greencore employee discount platform
• Access to a full Wellbeing Centre platform

Throughout your time at Greencore, you'll be supported with on-the-job training and development opportunities to further your career.
