Job description

Position: Supply Chain Manager – Food & Beverage Production

Location: London (Hybrid)

3 month contract initially, looking for an immediate start

Type: Full-time | Growing Functional Food Business

Are you an organised, proactive project manager with a passion for high-quality food and beverage production? Join our fast-scaling functional food business in London and help us deliver exceptional liquid products — from condiments and syrups to popsicles and beyond — to clients who care about quality as much as we do.

The Role

We’re looking for a Supply Chain Manager to take full ownership of our F&B liquid production runs — overseeing everything from planning and procurement through to manufacturing, logistics, and final delivery. This is a hands-on role at the heart of our operations, perfect for someone who loves driving multiple projects at once in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

What You’ll Do

• Manage end-to-end production runs across condiments, syrups, popsicles, and other liquid products — from scheduling to client delivery.
• Keep projects on time and on budget, tracking milestones and financials throughout.
• Coordinate across teams — procurement, logistics, and account management — to keep production moving smoothly.
• Liaise with manufacturing partners in London (Vauxhall) and New York, ensuring seamless scheduling and communication.
• Uphold quality standards, collaborating with QA to meet regulatory and brand requirements.
• Solve problems fast, identifying risks early and implementing corrective actions.
• Champion continuous improvement, reviewing post-run outcomes to enhance efficiency and reduce waste.
• Report clearly and concisely on project status, KPIs, and risks for internal stakeholders.

What You’ll Bring

• 3–5+ years’ project management experience in F&B manufacturing, beverages, or consumer goods.
• Strong understanding of liquid / semi-liquid production (syrups, sauces, condiments, etc.).
• Experience managing multi-site or international production.
• Excellent organisational, time management, and stakeholder communication skills.
• Familiarity with supply chain and procurement processes.
• Working knowledge of food quality and safety standards (HACCP, BRC desirable).
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and project management tools (e.g. Monday.com, Asana, Smartsheet).
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach — calm under pressure, always ready to adapt.

Who You Are

• Detail-oriented but commercially aware.
• Collaborative, communicative, and energised by teamwork.
• Passionate about food, beverages, and operational excellence.

Why Join Us

• Be part of a growing, purpose-driven company reshaping functional food.
• Work across exciting international projects.
• Collaborate with a small, ambitious team where your ideas make an impact.
• Enjoy a dynamic, entrepreneurial culture with real ownership and growth opportunities.
