Job description

One of the most impressive print and packaging production sites not only in the South East, but the whole country, has a key opening within its senior management team. This is a rarely available opportunity for a target-driven high calibre individual to work with the Managing Director and Senior Management Team to contribute to the development and implementation of organisational strategies, ensuring the company achieves its short and long term objectives.

This forward thinking organisation is looking for a strategic thinker who will ensure organisational effectiveness by providing leadership for the site’s functions.

The role plays a key part in setting the strategy for growth, taking ownership of specific key initiatives to achieve targeted outcomes. You will effectively control and manage set objectives, ensuring client requirements are always met. Successful candidates will be highly ambitious, exhibit a confident ability to manage change, and have a hunger to play a part in the company’s long-term success through the delivery of improvements in working practices.

Managing a large team of staff will be a key part of this role, therefore this role requires someone who can command authority and gain respect from colleagues. To apply for this role you must have experience managing a workforce of over 100, through a line management structure, in the last three years. Candidates with a print or packaging background are preferred, however all manufacturing backgrounds will be considered.

This is a BIG role so we need the very best!!
