A fabulous opportunity to join the UK’s largest foodservice provider as a member of our Network Delivery Team. Focusing on the delivery of key initiatives and projects across our Sysco GB network, you will work closely with the wider operational teams to identify and deliver change programmes with a view to improve efficiencies, reduce cost and increase customer satisfaction.

In this busy and varied role, from gathering and analysing information and data, attending project scoping and planning sessions through to carrying out end-user acceptance testing – you will be focused on ensuring that projects are planned and implemented seamlessly. And if there are challenges along the way, you’ll conduct analysis to understand and resolve the issues.

Naturally curious, you will challenge current processes and ways of working, seeking to improve them to better the customer experience. You will be able to see the ‘big picture’ – recognising cause and effect and identifying patterns or trends. You’ll enjoy working as a member of a cross-functional team - taking a collaborative approach and demonstrating strong interpersonal and communication skills. Able to influence at a variety of levels you will be results-focused – managing setbacks appropriately and adapting your priorities to manage changing demands.

To join us in this role, you will have a solid knowledge of the end-to-end supply chain and operational experience in a fast-paced warehousing operation – ideally within the FMCG sector. You will have experience of implementing continuous improvement projects and have knowledge of Six Sigma methodologies and tools. You will be comfortable with using Microsoft Office packages including MS Project and MS Visio and knowledge of SAP would be an advantage.

This role is home-based; however, extensive travel is required - as are overnight stays, particularly during periods prior to project implementation.

In return, we offer a competitive package including all the benefits you would expect working for a large organisation including company car, pension, and the option to purchase additional annual leave. Not to mention huge discounts on award-winning products and finally, being part of Sysco, the world’s leading foodservice business, unlocks a world of career opportunities!

People join us for the stability and security. But they stay for our fun and friendly culture that supports everyone to be the best they can be. Join us and discover all sorts of opportunities to develop your career with us, as well as a range of great benefits.
