Head of Supply Chain Operations & Procurement | Herefordshire/ South Wales This one's for someone who's tired of fixing supply chains from the outside and wants to build one properly, from the top. Our client is a specialist defence technology business, small enough that you'll know every supplier by name, serious enough that its products protect people in genuinely hostile environments. Think mission-critical electronics, not commodity kit.

You'll lead the Supply Chain and Demand Planning function end to end.

But the real draw is the seat at the table: this is a leadership role in a business where procurement decisions carry weight, not a cost-centre job title.
