- Inventory & Stock Control: Oversee ordering, forecasting, and supplier relations, maintaining cost-efficient and optimal inventory levels.
- MIS Software: Leverage tools like Print Logic to monitor production, track inventory, and drive data-informed decisions.
- Team Leadership: Train, mentor, and manage production staff to foster a safe, high-performance culture.
- Client & Business Development: Act as the key point of contact for clients, ensuring satisfaction and driving growth. Direct sales and account-closing experience is advantageous.
- Strategic Reporting: Assist with budgeting, cost analysis, and long-term planning to align operations with business goals.

Requirements:

- Industry Expertise: Minimum of 3 years in printing or packaging (essential).
- Sales & Marketing: Experience in direct sales and closing accounts is a strong advantage.
- Leadership: Proven ability to manage teams and meet KPIs in a fast-paced environment.
- Book of Business: Existing client connections in the industry are desirable.

What We Offer:
