Operations & Logistics Manager | Lead Supply Chain for a Fast-Growing Pet Food Brand
£45,000–£60,000 + Benefits + Share Scheme | Hybrid (Brighton Office 3 days/week)
The Animal People are excited to bepartnering again with one of the most innovative and fast-growing businesses in the pet food industry. We’ve already supported their growth with three key hires into the business, all thriving and making a real impact and we’re thrilled to be helping them expand their brilliant team once more.
What makes this opportunity stand out? The business is in a high-growth phase with ambitious plans ahead, but they’ve never lost sight of their culture, collaborative, pet-friendly, and genuinely supportive. This is a place where your ideas count and where you can see the difference you’re making every day.
As Operations & Logistics Manager, you’ll be the person who keeps everything moving – from managing product runs with manufacturing partners, to making sure stock flows seamlessly across warehouses, to coordinating international shipments and paperwork. If you thrive in a role with variety, responsibility, and the chance to make things better every day, this could be the perfect fit.
