Are you looking for a new role in an exciting, fast-growing company? Do you enjoy leading teams, solving problems and making sure things run smoothly in a fast-paced environment? Do you want to help transform the health of people and the planet through food?


We have the perfect role for you.


We're Planthood, one of the fastest-growing health food companies in the UK. Our mission is to help people live healthier, happier lives by eating more plant-based whole foods. We do this from our own London kitchen, where we cook up irresistibly delicious food and deliver it to thousands of customers across the UK every week.


Since launching from Hilary & Will's kitchen in 2020, we've now cooked over 4 million meals, featured on BBC Dragons' Den, and grown 300%+ year-on-year.


As we continue to scale, we're looking for an exceptional Production Supervisor to help lead our production operation. This is a hands-on leadership role at the heart of the business, responsible for ensuring our production team operates safely, efficiently and to the highest standards every day.


A key focus of this role will be overseeing the packaging of our meal kit components and managing the end-to-end dispatch process to our third-party logistics (3PL) partner for direct-to-consumer (D2C) deliveries. You'll be responsible for ensuring products are accurately packed, quality checked, and dispatched on time, while maintaining the operational standards that our customers expect.


You'll play a key role in driving performance, developing people, improving processes and maintaining the quality and consistency that our customers rely on. Working closely with the wider management team, you'll help ensure that every box leaving our facility reflects the standards and values that have fuelled Planthood's growth so far.


This is an opportunity to take ownership of a critical function within a rapidly growing food business and help shape the future of our production operation.
