About YF


Our goal is to drive innovation in FMCG.


We work with consumer brands on a journey to mainstream success, providing advisory and support services to help them scale. We also partner with retailers and investors to make it easier for them to identify and get behind high potential brands. By supporting both sides, we can drive the flywheel of progress.


Our FMCG brand services span Supply Chain, Recruitment, HR, Commercial, Financial Advisory and more. Our insight is uniquely fuelled by our not-for-profit brand Community which gives us a pulse over more than 1,500 brands.


We are a certified B Corp, driving the shift to a new kind of economy that is better for workers, better for communities and better for the environment.


About the role


This is a unique opportunity to lead and expand YF’s Outsourced Supply Chain Services. As Head of Outsourced Supply Chain Services, you’ll combine business development, strategic leadership, and hands-on operational expertise to make a tangible impact on some of the UK’s most innovative FMCG brands.


You’ll be at the forefront of driving growth for the Outsourced Supply Chain function, winning new clients, nurturing existing partnerships, and ensuring our high-performing team continues to excel. Acting as a Supply Chain Director or Head of Operations for many of our clients, you’ll provide them with the strategic and operational guidance needed to scale effectively.


As a key member of the team, you'll be responsible for:


  • Developing and executing strategies to win new clients and retain existing ones, driving and owning revenue growth for your area of the business.
  • Supporting, mentoring and growing our talented team to maintain high performance and exceptional service delivery.
  • Acting as the Supply Chain Director or Head of Operations for clients, offering strategic oversight, operational problem-solving and expert guidance.
  • Building and maintaining strong relationships with clients, ensuring their supply chains are efficient, effective and ready for growth.


This is your chance to combine leadership, client impact and business growth in one dynamic role. As you develop in this position, you’ll have the opportunity to further shape the vision and direction of YF’s Outsourced Supply Chain Services.


About you


We’re looking for an experienced supply chain leader who is ready to take ownership of a growing function and make a meaningful impact. You’ll thrive in a fast-paced, client-focused environment and have a proven ability to deliver results.


  • 7+ years of experience in a supply chain or operations role, ideally within an FMCG business.
  • A track record of progression demonstrating your ability to take on increasing levels of responsibility and leadership.
  • Previous consultancy experience is a bonus especially in client-facing roles where you’ve acted as a trusted advisor.
  • Strong strategic and operational capabilities with a clear understanding of the challenges and opportunities in scaling supply chains.
  • A natural leader who can support and inspire a team while building trusted relationships with clients.
  • Excellent communication, organisational, and problem-solving skills with the ability to manage competing priorities effectively.


What’s in it for you


As Head of Outsourced Supply Chain Services at YF, you'll thrive in an environment where ownership is key. You'll be empowered to make things happen and encouraged to take the initiative to deliver outstanding results. We value genuine relationships and you'll have ample opportunities to build and nurture connections, both within our team and with external clients. You will make a real impact and drive continuous growth in a dynamic FMCG market.


We value innovation and adaptability in the face of new challenges and you will receive support to stay ahead of the game in this rapidly changing industry. Our team is passionate about pushing the boundaries and making a difference and we're committed to helping you achieve your personal and professional goals.


Alongside this, we offer:
