Senior Operations Manager, 3PL Partnership

Senior Operations Manager Full Time St. Margaret’s, Co.Dublin, K67 P7E5

About the role

As Senior Operations Manager, you’ll take full ownership of our site and partner closely with our 3PL provider to run a first-class operation. This isn't just about managing processes - it’s about people.

You’ll be the driving force behind a vibrant, high-performing site culture, boosting team engagement while navigating a fast-paced environment. Your ultimate goal? Rallying the team to deliver an efficient, safe, and financially sharp operation.

What you’ll do

Shape the Site: Oversee our entire Production facility - including the warehouse and planning functions - with strategic oversight of our 3PL partner managing agency and hourly workforces.

Cultivate Excellence: Champion a culture of continuous improvement across safety, quality, and cost efficiency within an agile, rapidly scaling operational environment.

Align & Influence: Hold our 3PL partner to account against clear performance standards, and drive through operational improvements even where that means resetting an unproductive dynamic.

Own the Numbers: Drive site performance through critical metrics such as efficiency and error-reduction.

Connect Globally: Collaborate with your peers to establish standardisation, share best practices, and build seamless operational consistency.

Build the Future: Actively mentor, coach, and develop the team to build a strong talent pipeline and foster clear career progression.

Own the Budget: Maintain full financial oversight of site expenditure, including invoice authorisation, with rigorous attention to detail and sharp numerical skills.

What you’ll bring

Operations Expertise: Experience managing operations or production within FMCG or a comparable high-volume environment, with a modern, practical approach to lean and continuous improvement, and comfortable applying data and AI tools to solve problems quickly rather than relying on formal improvement programmes.
