The basic salary on offer is £150,000 with a 25% bonus scheme depending on company and personal performance.

Our client has provided reassurance in relation to confirmed flexible working (up to 3 days working-from-home) per week – in the hope that their candidate pool can expand across the majority of the UK.

Some of the initial tasks and responsibilities as Director of Supply Chain will include:

  • Provide tactical and operational leadership through extensive prior senior-level Supply Chain experience.
  • Experience of implementing global supply chain strategies to deliver improvements to service, process, quality, system and people performance.
  • Evaluated International supply chain and regulatory impacts and recommended course of action for multiple international outsourcing projects
  • Monitoring key metrics relating to forecast, production and order performance whilst assessing the impact of these metrics on the business.
  • Expertise in carrying-out complex transactions including acquisition integration, divestures and restructuring programs.
  • P&L accountability + potential headcount reduction of up to 15% within the Supply Chain set-up.

It is important to note that any potential candidates must have had prior experience within senior leadership positions across sizeable businesses (blue-chip preferably).

Company

Communicate stands for excellence, entrepreneurialism and delivery. 

Our aim is simple: to source and place the best candidates within timeframes which surpass those of other recruitment businesses. With 32% of placements made this year being at FTSE 100 companies, we feel we are living up to our aspirations. 

Specialising in the placement of permanent and interim candidates for many of the world’s best companies, Communicate has earned an excellent reputation for providing fast and effective recruitment on a retained or contingent basis, without ever compromising quality. Indeed, despite the market average for finding new opportunities through word-of-mouth being just 18%*, this year, 67% of the placements made so far have been agency network, referred or headhunted candidates. 

In addition, we are thought leaders, regularly appearing in national, regional and trade publications. 

We are also market leaders. Our pioneering product – the Communicate Contingent Retainer – guarantees we fill vacancies within six weeks or refund all payments, in full, immediately. This means positions are filled with exceptional candidates at four times the speed of the industry standard and clients are not exposed to the 20% risk of paying for a service they do not receive, as is typical with most of our competitors’ retained assignments. 

*Survey data collected from conversations with our leading clients in 2012 on sourcing candidates.
