Senior Director of Operations, Quality and Engineering, Asia

Japan

This is a truly unique opportunity to join our business as it enters the next phase of our growth plan as we begin to scale up all of our aquaculture operations to a commercial footing.  With operations in; Asia, North America and Europe the business is already well established and producing high quality seafood, with it’s largest operations being in Japan.

The business is passionate about harnessing the power of the natural world to help reverse some of the negative ecological and economic impacts  we are seeing today. This has driven us to develop a system to help restore marine ecosystems, which had previously collapsed.  Harvesting and then continuing to grow within our ranch systems allows the ecosystem to heal whilst also producing high quality gourmet seafood.  Having recently received blue carbon credits we have now completed the first full life cycle of the business and are seeking a Senior Director of Operations to lead our professional team in Japan and to help enable the business to scale up to commercial production and to assist in having standard operating procedures (SOPs) across all of it’s sites globally.

In addition to sharing our passion for sustainable and restorative aquaculture production you will also have a demonstrable track record of devising and implementing processes and procedures to enable the most efficient production outcomes whilst maintaining consistently high end quality standards.  Whilst a knowledge of aquaculture and Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) would be a distinct advantage you may have gained your operations experience within an alternative but related field such as meat and poultry processing or have a very strong background within food manufacturing or FMCG high volume production including a strong appreciation of continuous improvement and lean manufacturing tools and techniques.  Previous experience of scaling up an operation would also be a distinct advantage.

This is a senior level appointment working closely with the CEO and the VP of Operations Japan covering processing across 2 existing sites and also taking responsibility for opening a third and ultimately a fourth production site.  As such we are seeking candidates who ideally have international experience and previous experience of managing multiple sites across a large region.  The international dimension of our business would require the successful candidate to have experienced working across a diverse range of cultures and to be fluent in Japanese and have a professional command of English.

Whilst your initial focus will be on scaling up production to commercial levels you should also have experience across the wider manufacturing processes specifically quality and engineering.  Ideally you will have experience of collecting and interpreting data to shape and influence your production decisions and enhance business performance.

This role will require significant travel within Japan as well as working closely with colleagues in North America and Europe.

The potential growth and positive environmental impact of this business can not be overstated and as such we require a Senior Operations Director who has the passion and drive to succeed in what will be a period of significant change.

If you feel that you have the required skills and experience to be our Senior Director of Operations in Asia and share our passion for making a positive and significant environmental impact then in the first instance email your CV to Woodlands Recruitment Solutions or for further details contact Kieron Madden on +447787408844.
