Supply Chain & Technical Operations Manager

About Us
WeNext has spent more than a decade perfecting advanced manufacturing in Asia. We have now brought that proven expertise to Europe and the UK, merging innovative technology with a deep commitment to in-house care and precision craftsmanship.

We operate on a simple value: Smart manufacturing, human thinking. We combine intelligent technology with real empathy, using data to drive smarter solutions without ever losing the personal connection. We are proudly global, yet locally connected—bridging cultures and time zones to create seamless global collaboration

The Opportunity
We are looking for a technical bridge-builder. This role sits at the operational heart of our business, connecting our global production capabilities with our European expansion.

You won’t just be managing spreadsheets; you will be building our supply chain ecosystem from the ground up. You will act as the technical voice for our Sheet Metal and CNC capabilities, ensuring that when a customer sends a complex drawing, we have the right partners, the right processes, and the right quality standards to deliver it perfectly.

Your Key Responsibilities
1. Supply Chain Ecosystem
- Build the Network: Identify, onboard, and audit manufacturing partners outside of China (UK, EU, India), specifically focusing on high-quality Sheet Metal and CNC fabrication.
- Partnership, Not Just Procurement: Move beyond transactional management. Establish performance KPIs (OTIF, Quality Rates) but drive them through relationships and continuous improvement, not just policing.
- Strategic Sourcing: Analyse cost and capacity data to build a resilient supply chain that can scale with our rapid European growth.

2. Technical Engineering Support
- The Sheet Metal Expert: Act as the internal authority for sheet metal pre-sales. You will review CAD files and drawings to assess feasibility, ensuring we only promise what we can deliver.
- DFM with Empathy: Provide Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback that helps the sales team and the customer understand how to optimise their parts for cost and quality.
- Problem Solver: Investigate quality issues (NCRs) not just to fix the error, but to understand the root cause—liaising between European clients and Global factories to close the gap.

3. Operational Architecture
- Process Design: We are growing fast. You will design and document the workflows for vendor onboarding, quality control, and quoting—turning ad-hoc tasks into scalable processes.
- Internal Capability: Work with our Operations Director and China HQ to support the build-out of our own internal production facilities, ensuring European standards are baked into our global factories.
- Project Delivery: manage the rollout of new operational programs, keeping Europe and China aligned on timelines and deliverables.

The Hybrid Skillset: You are rare—you understand Supply Chain logistics and you can read a technical engineering drawing.
Experience: 3–7 years in manufacturing operations, applications engineering, or supply chain management.
Technical Core: Strong working knowledge of Sheet Metal fabrication and CNC processes is essential. You must be comfortable interpreting BoMs, tolerances, and material grades.
The Mindset: A builder who loves structure. You are comfortable working in a multi-time-zone environment where you often have to create the process before you execute it.
The Communicator: You can explain complex engineering constraints to a salesperson, and commercial targets to an engineer.
Build It Your Way: This is a "blank canvas" role. You will shape the entire external supply chain for a fast-growing European platform.
Global Impact: Work directly with senior leadership in Europe and China, bridging the gap between two manufacturing powerhouses.
Comprehensive Package: £60,000 Salary, 25 Days Holiday, Pension, and full support for business travel and remote office setup
