Supply Chain & Operations Manager
£45,000 – £50,000
Hertfordshire
At OGT, they’re not just making snacks, they’re rewriting the rulebook on how people fuel.
They have created the world’s first wrapper-free, oat-based energy bar: no plastic, no waste, just real ingredients protected by an innovative natural coating. Cleaner, smarter, high-performance nutrition that’s better for people
and
the planet.
That mission demands a supply chain and operation that runs with precision, pace, and purpose.
That’s where you come in.
As Supply Chain & Operations Manager, you’ll sit at the heart of the business.
Forecasting demand, building production plans, managing material flow, and ensuring the factory delivers exactly what’s needed, when it’s needed, without compromise. If the plan works, the operation works. And if the operation works, the mission moves forward.
This is the role for someone who loves creating structure in fast-moving environments, thrives on fixing problems before they occur, and takes pride in planning and delivering operational excellence.

Convert forecasts into realistic production schedules across daily, weekly, and long-term horizons
Balance labour, capacity, raw materials, and changeovers to optimise throughput
Ensure material availability through smart inventory management and supplier coordination
Own the Production Operation
Oversee day-to-day factory performance across shifts
Lead and develop production teams with clear goals, standards, and accountability
Ensure production plans are executed OTIF, safely, and at the right quality
Strengthen communication between planning, production, technical, and commercial teams
Performance, Efficiency & Continuous Improvement
Drive improvements in efficiency, labour utilisation, yield, and waste
Identify bottlenecks before they become problems
Keep production rhythm predictable, stable, and resilient
Maintain tight control of KPIs across planning and operations
Quality, Safety & Compliance
Maintain high hygiene, food safety, and audit standards
Embed safe systems of work across all areas
Protect the integrity of a product built on innovation and trust
Hands-On Problem Solving
Step in when needed to unblock issues and keep schedules on track
Work side-by-side with teams to keep the operation moving smoothly
What You’ll Bring
Experience in supply chain, planning, or operations in food, FMCG, or another fast-moving environment
Strong forecasting, scheduling, and planning skills
A proven ability to lead and develop teams
A solid understanding of food safety, hygiene, and compliance
Calm, structured decision-making with a hands-on mindset
A problem-solver who thrives in pace and enjoys building the systems that keep things flowing
