Lead a major logistics transformation for our Rochdale site, ensuring a smooth operational transition through expert cross‑functional project leadership.
As our Project Manager, you will be the driving force behind the mobilisation of resources and the coordination of stakeholders to ensure our logistics transition is delivered on time and with minimal disruption. Working 37.5 hours per week (with an early finish on Fridays), you will report to the Logistics Operations Lead, UK and act as the primary glue between Procurement, Operations, Finance and IT.
We are looking for a disciplined leader who thrives in dynamic environments and possesses the analytical rigour to handle complex change programmes. You should be a collaborative problem-solver who can bring diverse teams together toward a shared goal.
This is a high-impact opportunity to own a critical piece of Danish Crown’s UK logistics strategy. You will have the autonomy to shape the project governance and the "make it happen" culture required to deliver a successful 6-month outsourcing transition. For the right candidate, this role offers the chance to showcase leadership excellence within a major multi-site network, operating in an environment that values proactive problem-solving and disciplined execution.
Beyond the competitive salary of £50,000–£60,000, you will benefit from a structured work-life balance and a supportive team culture. You won't just be managing a project; you will be embedding best practices and capturing lessons learned that will influence how we deliver future initiatives across the UK. It’s an environment where your expertise is respected and your contribution to our continuous improvement is genuinely valued.
Danish Crown UK is a business built on trust, teamwork and ambition. We exist to deliver food that people believe in and we know that takes strong leadership and collaborative cultures.
Our leadership principles guide us. We act for the good of the whole organisation. We hire brilliant people and help them grow. We are ambitious, curious and open to new ideas. We build trust by accepting mistakes as part of development. We believe real leadership is earned through example, not title.
Whoever joins us will help create a workplace where people feel safe to speak up, share ideas, challenge old ways of working and stretch themselves to achieve more. If that sounds like the environment where you thrive, we would love to hear from you.
The Danish Crown Group is a global food processing company and among the largest in its field. The Group is the world’s largest pork exporter and Europe’s largest pork processor. Furthermore, Danish Crown Beef is a significant player in the European beef market.
Just like the crops in the fields continuously change, Danish Crown tirelessly refine and improve how we work, from farm to fork, to ensure good, safe food for people around the world to enjoy. Our history goes back to 1887 and the Danish cooperative movement, and responsibility towards society, our employees and our owners, the farmers, is quite simply in our genes.
As a global leader in meat production, we have big obligations; not just to deliver, but to explore new opportunities. We still have a long way to go and face many challenges. But we remain committed to improving how food is produced - with respect for animals, people and the environment. In this quest, we are prepared to challenge ourselves, the industry and the market.
This journey is not ours alone, but we promise to be the leaders of change.
You will become a part of a strong culture with roots in the Danish co-operative movement, and at all levels of the organization, you will be met by an informal and direct tone.
