Company Overview

Simple Food Solutions is a fast-growing food manufacturing company based in Singapore. We specialise in ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook solutions, supporting over 60 food brands through central kitchen production, OEM manufacturing, and product development.

We are entering our next phase of growth and are looking for a hands-on operations leader to help scale our systems, strengthen production capabilities, and build a strong operational foundation for expansion.

Role Overview

This role is for an experienced and driven operations professional who enjoys building, improving, and scaling manufacturing environments. You will work directly with the Managing Director to strengthen production structure, improve efficiency, and prepare the organisation for its next stage of growth.

This is not a corporate desk role. We are looking for someone practical, energetic, and willing to be on the ground to make things work.

Requirements

• Strong problem-solving mindset and ability to execute under fast-paced conditions

What We Are Looking For

We are seeking someone hungry to grow with the business, not just manage it. This role suits individuals who want to build something meaningful and eventually take on a larger leadership position as the company expands.

Compensation and Benefits

• Monthly salary range, SGD $6,000 to $7,000 depending on experience
• Performance-based bonus tied to operational improvements
• Opportunity to grow into a senior leadership role as the company scales
• Dynamic and entrepreneurial work environment
• Direct exposure to business building and decision-making
