Position: Director
Location: London
Salary: £160,000
Assignment Timescale: 6 weeks
Result: Completed
Context
There is a clear shift towards delivery led operational value creation. Clients are prioritising measurable improvements across manufacturing and supply chain, rather than strategy that sits unused. This is driving demand for senior individuals who have delivered change on the ground.
Challenge
The client needed a Director level hire who could step into live engagements and lead delivery. The market is limited. Many consulting profiles at this level lack hands on execution experience, while strong industry operators are not typically visible or aligned to advisory roles.
Solution
Consulting Point identified a senior Operations and Supply Chain leader with a track record of delivering large scale transformation across FMCG and manufacturing. The candidate had delivered over £20M in cost savings, driven OEE improvements above 85%, and led productivity gains across multiple sites. Their background combined operational leadership with transformation delivery, making them highly relevant for a hands on, value creation focused role. We positioned the profile directly against the client’s need for execution capability.
Outcome
The candidate joined at Director level, adding immediate strength to the client’s operational value creation offering. They bring credibility with senior stakeholders and the ability to lead delivery end to end. The process completed efficiently once alignment was reached.
