Packaging Team Leader at Diageo

Ready to break free from the traditional Monday–Friday 9–5?

If you’re looking for something different — a leadership role that delivers impact and gives you midweek free — this could be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

Working just three days a week means more time for family commitments, personal projects, study, travel, or simply enjoying your weekdays while others are at work. It’s a compressed working pattern that offers both responsibility and flexibility.

If you’re looking for a role with real ownership, strategic input, and the opportunity to shape a culture of continuous improvement — this is your chance.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

As Packaging Team Leader, you will take full accountability for shift performance across your area. This includes production delivery, team engagement, safety, quality, and continuous improvement.

You will:

• Lead and inspire a multidisciplinary team of Operators, Equipment Owners and Engineers
• Drive performance across safety, quality, cost, delivery and morale metrics
• Champion Manufacturing Excellence and Lean principles
• Build a strong continuous improvement culture through structured problem-solving and root cause analysis
• Own and deliver balanced scorecard targets for your area
• Shape and deliver the medium-to-long-term strategy for your lines, including CapEx and productivity improvement proposals
• Take full ownership of day-to-day “run” activities while actively leading “improve” initiatives

Your Impact

This is more than managing a shift.

You will create an environment where:

• People feel engaged, supported and accountable
• Standards are clear and consistently delivered
• Problems are solved at root cause
• Performance improves sustainably

You will operate decisively and with agility, supporting ongoing growth and change while maintaining high operational standards.

We’d love to hear from you if you bring:

• Proven leadership experience in a manufacturing or production environment
• Strong coaching and team development capability
• Experience driving continuous improvement and Lean practices
• Excellent problem-solving and root cause analysis skills
• Confidence influencing across functions and building strong working relationships
• Energy, resilience and a proactive mindset
