The opportunity
We're working with a well established distribution and operations business in Dublin to find a Production Operations Analyst for their Operations function. Think of this as the engine room role: the person who keeps planning, billing, and system processes ticking over so the wider warehouse and distribution side of the business can run without a hitch.
It's a busy, deadline led environment, and no two days look quite the same. You'll be juggling production schedules, billing runs, and the odd fire to put out, all while keeping the data spotless. If you've come up through logistics, warehousing, or distribution and you actually like untangling operational problems, this one's worth a look.
Where you'll spend your time
- Planning and issuing daily production runs, from label generation through to full production packs
- Keeping billing cycles (daily and weekly) on track and validated through SAP or a comparable system
- Digging into discrepancies, whether that's billing, data, or a system hiccup, and getting to the root of it
- Building and maintaining interface files that feed print sites and other downstream systems
- Being the go to operational contact across warehouse, packing, and copy allocation
- Stepping in wherever an issue threatens to hold up distribution timelines
- Holding the line on data accuracy and process integrity
- Flagging patterns in recurring issues and pushing for better ways of doing things
- Working flexibly across rotating shifts as operational demand shifts
- Helping bring new team members up to speed
What you'll bring
- A background in logistics, warehousing, distribution, or a similarly operational setting
- Solid, hands on experience with SAP or an equivalent system
- A sharp eye for detail, especially where data and billing are concerned
- The ability to work independently, juggle priorities, and stay steady under pressure
- Comfort communicating directly with warehouse and operational teams
- A genuine interest in improving how things run, not just keeping them ticking over
Systems and tools
SAP transaction processing, billing cycle management, production planning systems, interface file generation, warehouse management systems, label and batch creation tools, data reconciliation, and spreadsheet based analysis.
