Tayto Group are the 3rd largest player in savoury snacks, with a turnover of more than £250m and home to iconic brands like Golden Wonder, Mr Porky, REAL Crisps and Tayto. We're also the UK's leading supplier of private label snacks - so we probably make supermarket favourite! Our brand heritage spans over 75 years, and we're committed to delivering great-tasting snacks for lunchbox staples, pub favourites, and the 'who ate the last crisp?' moments that we all love.

We wouldn't be able to do what we do without our deliciously dedicated Production Teams! They're responsible for the heart and soul of our business - our snacks! - making sure they're tasty, safe, and packaged fresh off the line to reach shops (and customers) with that satisfying CRUNCH.

• Prepare and present information at daily shift meeting, focusing on KPIs and action plans to deliver on performance
• Develop skills and knowledge of all production team members to create high-performing teams
• Monitor and improve health and safety performance in accordance with site objectives, legislation, and standard operating procedures

• An experienced, proactive, and driven individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment
• Ideally you will have experience with at least 2 years in a similar management position, preferable within FMCG
• Self-motivated with a can-do attitude
