Description:
Are you an ambitious Production or Operations Leader ready to take the next step?
Perhaps you're already operating at General Manager level and are looking for a business where you can really make your mark?
Bowmay are recruiting for a General Manager to join an established garment manufacturing business in Lancashire with exciting plans for growth.
This isn't simply a role for someone to maintain the status quo. The business is looking for a commercially minded, hands-on leader who will challenge, improve and ultimately help shape the next stage of the company's journey.
What You Get
* A basic salary of £60-70k (neg)
* Annual bonus
* Company car or car allowance
* Mentoring from the MD to assist in your development
About You
* We're particularly interested in people with a textile manufacturing background, although you don't need to have worked specifically within garment manufacturing.
* You could be an ambitious Production Manager ready for a step up, or an experienced Operations Manager looking for a bigger challenge.
* Most importantly, you'll be a go-getter.
* You'll be commercially aware, naturally curious and someone who doesn't simply accept "that's how we've always done it."
* You'll be comfortable rolling your sleeves up, getting involved and making things happen.
About The Role
You'll take responsibility for the day-to-day running of the production facility, working closely with the team to improve performance, solve problems and identify opportunities for growth.
We're looking for someone who will:
* Lead and develop the operations
* Drive efficiencies and continuous improvement
* Identify problems and find practical solutions
* Challenge existing processes respectfully and constructively
* Genuinely understand the commercial impact of operational decisions in a textile manufacturing business
* Have some experience producing or contributing to monthly P&L reporting
* Work collaboratively across production, people and commercial activity
* Develop the role as the business grows
We're looking for someone who:
* Is commercially astute
* Has textile manufacturing experience
* Can confidently challenge and influence
* Is comfortable working with financial information
* Is a natural problem solver
* Can flex upwards and take on more responsibility
* Wants to grow with the business — and grow the role around them
The Opportunity
This is a fantastic opportunity for an ambitious manufacturing professional who wants to move beyond simply managing an operation and help shape a growing business.
If you're ready for your next challenge and think you could be the person we're looking for, we'd love to hear from you
