​Are you an experienced leader ready to make your mark in a fast-paced FMCG environment? We’re looking for an ambitious Operations Manager to take charge of a busy slaughter facility based at Six Hills, Melton Mowbray.

As Operations Manager, you'll be responsible for the smooth and efficient running of day-to-day site operations, working across production, engineering, technical, HR, and health & safety functions. You’ll work closely with senior management both on-site and at group level, playing a key role in upholding food safety standards and driving continuous improvement across the board.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Co-ordinate operations across all departments to achieve site objectives and KPIs

  • Report business performance against budgets and targets to senior leadership

  • Lead, inspire and manage teams to maximise potential and performance

  • Implement and develop systems to optimise operational efficiency

What We’re Looking For:

  • At least 5 years’ experience in a senior operations role—ideally in red meat, FMCG, or food production

  • A confident, dynamic leader with excellent organisational and communication skills

  • Proven ability to work under pressure and drive performance in a fast-paced setting

  • Third-level education or equivalent industry qualification

  • Analytical thinking and a results-driven approach

This is a fantastic opportunity for a skilled Operations Manager to take ownership of a critical role within a leading food production site. If you’re passionate about operational excellence and ready to make a real impact, we’d love to hear from you.
