*Role: *Operations Systems Lead
*Career Step Level: *Step level 3
*Location: *Blyth, Worksop
*Work arrangement:* Full-time onsite
*A bit about the role*
You will be the operational heartbeat of our Operational systems, spanning Supply Chain, Manufacturing and Order Fulfilment, reporting into the Demand Manager and working cross-functionally with every system user across our UK sites (Rudie's Kitchen and Ace's Pantry) and our site in Poland (Sam's Kitchen).
This is a key role sitting at the intersection of supply chain, finance, warehouse, fulfilment and production.

You'll balance immediate troubleshooting with long-term strategic projects to optimise our processes as we scale. Your north star is a matching systematic movement for every physical movement in our Operation.
* A bit about you
We are looking for a proactive, system-savvy specialist who views SAP as a tool for excellence rather than just a database. You understand that a missed transaction isn't just a data error, it's a ripple effect that impacts our P&L and our ability to deliver great service to our customers.
You will work on system optimisations, efficiencies and Automations. Butternut is a company that embraces AI for improvements, but always keeps a human loop, meaning you should be excited and passionate about the use of AI, but build processes with a Squad Member owning the quality and accuracy, and with the goal of improving day-to-day efficiency and accuracy

We strive for accurate records with the fewest number of steps.
* You'll engage stakeholders and manage change across multiple shifts and sites, ensuring that when we go live with a change, we follow it through to successful completion and full embedding within the day-to-day.
* You will explore new technologies or functionality that is released, working with our SAP Engineering Team and our software suppliersto understand how best to implement and roll these out successfully to our sites.
* Explore automations and solutions to increase system effectiveness and reduce manual processing tasks

* A bit about Butternut
At Butternut, the mission is to deliver health and happiness to dogs and their humans all over the world. In order to do just that, we need a team of forward-thinking, driven people who love dogs as much as we do. And we need some pretty impressive kitchens to make it happen.
While Rudie's Kitchen and Ace's Pantry in Doncaster remain the heart of our UK operations, we've recently taken a massive leap forward with Sam's Kitchen in Poland, going live in January this year. This expansion is a huge part of our story, allowing us to bring our gently cooked, human-quality meals to even more four-legged friends across Europe.
We believe dogs deserve better, and we wouldn't serve food to them that we wouldn't be happy to eat ourselves. Butternut has come a long way since Kev & Dave (our co-founders) hand-delivered the first Butternut Box, and with our new international footprint, we are looking for brilliant people to join us for this next chapter.
Are you up for the challenge?
*What's In It For You?*
* Enjoy 257.5 hours of holiday per year (equivalent to 33 days holiday)
* Plus an extra day for each year of service (up to 5 days).
* 39 hours of pre-booked paws days to support good wellbeing and self care. *(equivalent to 5 days)*
* Unlock a £500 annual budget for personal learning and development.
* Enhanced parental leave
* Get discounted Private Medical Insurance with Axa Healthcare
* Discounted Gym membership with "MyGymDiscounts" helping you stay fit and healthy
* Satisfy your taste buds with subsidised food from a variety of street food vans, and of course, pay day pizza!
* Treat your furry friend with an employee discount on Butternut Box.
* Say goodbye to parking woes with free parking and electric car charging.
* Team socials & events
* Prepare for adorable office dog overload—meet Cleo, Otto, Cali, Ronnie, Harvey, Ralph, and many more!
* Holidays and Paws days are pro-rata for those working part time or job share
*‼A few things to note*
* There is no closing date for this role. However, we normally experience a high volume of applications so if you are interested we suggest applying as soon as possible.
* We aim to respond to all applicants personally. Our recruitment team is small so do bear with us.
* Butternut Box is an equal opportunity employer and we value diversity and inclusion. We welcome people of different nationalities, backgrounds, experiences, abilities and perspectives.
* We're not afraid of putting extra weight on candidates from underrepresented groups. We want strong, diverse teams built from different backgrounds, experiences, and identities. We're ready for the ongoing work that goes into building an inclusive, supportive place for you to do the best work of your career.
* We are not looking for external agency support with this role.
