Job Advert

**Senior Supply Chain Co-Ordinator**

At The Flava People we know that just creating great tasting sauces & seasonings is no longer enough and we know this because its what we’ve been doing for over 45 years. Truth is, if we’re all working to the same trend reports, industry insights, menu mapping and range reviewssooner or later, we all end up battling for a share of consumers’ attention, armed with slightly different iterations of the same ‘innovative’ products. To truly add value, in today’s highly competitive market, we harness the _power of brands_, bringing them to life for consumers across every single touchpoint; whether that’s on shelf at your local supermarket, in a butcher’s counter or on the menu at your favourite pub.

Working with world famous brands such as Guinness & YO, in addition to some of our own brands, we help to give our customers across retail, restaurant, food manufacturing & the independents an unfair advantage.

We are currently looking for an eagle-eyed deal spotter and chief shopper to come and work with us in our **Senior Supply Chain Co-Ordinator** **role.

**The Person**

As with everything we do - different definitely tastes better Same goes for the person we are looking for in the **Senior Supply Chain Co-Ordinator** role. You’ll ideally be an experienced negotiator within the ingredients, packaging and consumables sector with a proven background managing co-packing and co-manufacturing partners. You will have experience delivering strategic focus on strengthening our relationship with our suppliers, sourcing the best and most cost-effective ingredients, packaging and consumable helping to improve the P&L across the business.

Although you will work closely with all department especially procurement, this role is stand-alone so you will need to be a strong problem solver, decision maker, influencer and starter-finisher.

**The Role Brief**

As **Senior Supply Chain Co-Ordinator**, you will be responsible for:

- Own the search, assessment and establishment of all new co-manufacturing partnerships
- Evaluate all current supplier contracts, establish status, quality and commercials and own any renegotiates that may be required
- Work closely with the Planning & Customer Service Manager on any of the onward-bound supply chain networks or co-manufacturing supply chains
- Work with Procurement to coordinate the transportation and distribution of food products, including scheduling deliveries, arranging shipments, and managing freight forwarding.

- Manage inventory levels of all stock, working with the Procurement Manager.
- Negotiating prices with suppliers.
- Sourcing and negotiating new ingredients.
- Conduct regular inventory audits to minimise waste and ensure accurate stock counts.
- Serve as the primary point of contact for food suppliers, communicating order requirements, delivery schedules, and quality specifications.
- Build and maintain strong relationships with suppliers to ensure reliability, quality, and consistency of food products.
- Collaborate with suppliers to address any issues or concerns related to product quality, availability, or delivery timelines.
- Work closely with internal teams such as procurement, production, and quality assurance to coordinate supply chain activities and meet production schedules.
- Communicate effectively with cross-functional teams to ensure alignment on inventory requirements, production planning, and customer demands.
- Provide regular updates on supply chain performance and inventory status to relevant stakeholders.
- Identify opportunities for process improvement within the food supply chain, such as optimising inventory management processes, reducing lead times, or improving delivery efficiency.
- Implement best practices and standard operating procedures to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of supply chain operations.
- Monitor key performance indicators (KPIs) related to food supply chain metrics and take corrective actions as needed to drive continuous improvement.

**Our Culture**

We’re food explorers. The trend-spotter. The flavour crafters. The production specialists. We are creative - we are genuine innovators not imitators. We’re driven - driven by a desire to change the way everyone experiences food and most of all we are passionate. We want everyone, everywhere to be able to enjoy delicious, flavourful food
