Role overview
A globally established manufacturer in the flavours and food ingredients sector is looking for a seasoned Operations Director to steer end-to-end operations at its Singapore plant. This is a senior strategic role with accountability for the site's overall performance, covering the full value stream from procurement and planning through production, storage, distribution and customer delivery.
Key responsibilities
As part of the APAC Management Team and reporting to regional leadership, you will shape and deliver the long-range operations plan for the Singapore site while upholding strong standards in safety, quality and customer experience. You will guide a cross-functional operations team and build a culture focused on ownership, ongoing improvement and operational excellence.
In partnership with commercial, quality and regional stakeholders, you will strengthen collaboration across functions, improve supply chain efficiency, develop organisational capability and keep the site aligned to support continued growth across Asia Pacific.
