The Impact You'll Make

As our Production & Sales Supervisor, you’ll be the bridge between the factory floor and the marketplace.

You’ll ensure our popcorn is produced to perfection, every time, while also driving sales growth through smart customer relationships and creative promotions.

Your leadership will keep production running smoothly, your energy will inspire our team of autistic employees, and your sales drive will help our popcorn reach more snack-lovers than ever before.

What You'll Do

  • Lead daily production operations—overseeing roasting, seasoning, packaging, and quality control to meet output targets.
  • Manage and motivate a small team of production staff, ensuring safety, efficiency, and a positive work environment.
  • Monitor inventory levels, coordinate with suppliers, and ensure raw materials are always ready for production.
  • Drive B2B and B2C sales by building relationships with retailers, event organisers, and corporate clients.
  • Develop and execute promotional campaigns—both in-person and online—to boost brand visibility and revenue.
  • Track production and sales metrics, reporting results to senior management and suggesting improvements.
  • Represent the brand at trade shows, markets, and tasting events, turning curious tasters into loyal customers.

What You'll Bring

  • Proven experience in a supervisory role within food production, FMCG, or a similar environment.
  • Strong understanding of production processes, food hygiene, quality control, and health & safety standards.
  • A track record of achieving sales targets and building lasting customer relationships.
  • Excellent organisational skills—you can juggle production schedules and sales calls without missing a beat.
  • A hands-on, can-do attitude—you’re as comfortable on the factory floor as you are in a client meeting.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to inspire and lead a team.

Why You'll Love It Here

  • A vibrant, close-knit team where your ideas are heard and your work makes a visible impact.
  • Opportunities to attend food festivals, trade shows, and industry events.
  • Ongoing training in both production management and sales strategy.

We are an equal opportunity employer and celebrate diversity. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences.

It's Not About Popcorn...

ACE Popcorn is a social enterprise, run by autism-specialist charity Autism East Midlands, which supports and employs autistic people.

We're a social enterprise with one goal: to create jobs for autistic people.

Through structured training and a flexible, supportive workplace, we're looking to change the statistics on unemployment for autistic people - one bag of popcorn at a time.
