What You’ll Need

• Experience: Proven experience motivating and leading teams across multiple sites to achieve outstanding results.

• Analytical Skills: The ability to understand complex reports, implement next steps, and oversee the effectiveness of new initiatives.

• Adaptability: The drive to learn and keep up to date with the ever-changing aspects of the business.

• Communication: Effective communication skills to support teams with new launches, concepts, and processes.

• Licence: A full UK Driving Licence.

What You’ll Receive

• Vehicle: A fully expensed company car.

• Holiday Allowance: 35 days’ holiday (pro rata).
