Job Title:

Portfolio Manager

Reporting To:

Site Supply Chain Manager

Work Schedule:

Onsite – Tewkesbury, GBR

Are you an operational leader who delivers results in complex, high-accountability environments?

We are seeking a commercially astute Portfolio Manager to assume full ownership of operational performance across a defined aerospace product portfolio at our Moog Aircraft Control Components site in Tewkesbury. This is a senior, high-impact leadership role with end-to-end accountability for quality, cost, delivery, safety and resource alignment within a precision, multi-disciplinary manufacturing environment.

Operating at the centre of Planning, Engineering, Quality, Supply Chain and Operations, you will drive SIOP execution, stabilise flow, mitigate risk and protect customer commitments without compromise. You will balance competing priorities, navigate matrix resource allocation and lead performance improvement as the site advances toward digitally enabled manufacturing.

This is a pivotal leadership position within ACC, directly influencing operational stability, customer confidence and portfolio profitability. Success demands resilience, analytical rigour and confident decision-making in a fast-moving, globally connected environment.

If you are ready to lead from the front and own performance end-to-end, we want to hear from you.

The Role

You will own:

• Operational performance across your portfolio — quality, cost, delivery, labour efficiency and schedule adherence
• SIOP execution and capacity planning, ensuring demand and capability remain aligned
• Cross-functional coordination, resolving systemic constraints at pace
• Operational risk management, including regulatory and customer compliance (EASA/FAA)
• Continuous improvement deployment, embedding LEAN disciplines across the portfolio
• Cost and productivity performance, including labour control, scrap reduction and utilisation
• Leadership and development of Shift Supervisors and Cell Leaders

This is not a coordination role — it is an ownership role. You are accountable for outcomes.

What You’ll Be Measured On

• On-time delivery and schedule adherence
• Yield, productivity and labour performance
• Inventory stability and machine utilisation
• Closure of quality escapes and corrective actions
• Execution of portfolio CI roadmap
• Safe systems of work and operational risk reduction

 

Essential Experience & Skills

• 5–10 years’ experience in operations or manufacturing leadership
• Background in precision engineering or complex assembly environments
• Strong SIOP, capacity planning and resource optimisation capability
• Proven LEAN practitioner (5S, SMED, TPM, Kaizen, structured problem solving)
• Experience leading multi-layer teams (Supervisors, Cell Leaders, cross-functional partners)
• Degree in Engineering or Operations (desirable)
• Commercially aware, data-driven and outcome-focused

 

What We Offer

• Flexible benefits package and development opportunities to support career progression
• 33 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
• Private medical insurance, mental health support and financial advice
• Generous life assurance and company pension contribution (from 6%)
• Employee share options, free onsite parking, EV charging and 24/7 gym facilities

 

Be part of a high-performing, collaborative team shaping operational excellence in aerospace. Lead meaningful change, mentor future leaders, and advance your expertise in lean operations. We review applications on an ongoing basis, and the job posting will be closed once a suitable candidate is selected. We recommend all interested individuals to apply as soon as possible.
