MSC Industrial Supply UK is looking for a dynamic Technology Centre Manager to oversee the strategic operations of our Technology Centre. This role is crucial in aligning the centre's future strategy with our business goals and enhancing our brand presence through various digital marketing channels.

What You'll Do: As the Technology Centre Manager, you'll be at the heart of our operations, ensuring everything runs smoothly and efficiently. You'll have full P&L responsibility for the Technology Centre, ensuring it operates seamlessly. Working closely with the engineering team and managers, you will oversee the use of the centre for their customers' manufacturing projects, supporting where needed.

You'll be a key point of contact for our strategic suppliers, helping them showcase their brands through MSC. This involves launching new products, developing innovative solutions, and creating go-to-market strategies. You'll also organise engaging events such as open days and training sessions for customers and associates, helping to upskill them and our team.

But that's not all. You'll play a fundamental role in enhancing our brand presence and driving sales through effective marketing initiatives. Your primary focus will be on brand awareness and sales growth, ensuring that every project captures compelling content.
