At Millie’s Cookies, we don’t just bake cookies — we create moments. Behind every perfectly baked batch is a high-performing team and strong operational leadership. We are now looking for a driven and hands-on Assistant General Manager to support the leadership of our Manchester production facility.
This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives in a fast-paced food production or hospitality environment and is ready to step into broader leadership accountability with real progression potential.

As Assistant General Manager, you will support the General Manager in leading the day-to-day operations of the production facility. You will help ensure safe, efficient, and high-quality output while delivering strong commercial performance.
You’ll be a visible leader on the floor, supporting your team to achieve production targets, manage labour effectively, control waste, and maintain exceptional brand and safety standards.

You will help ensure the site performs at its best during busy periods while remaining commercially disciplined throughout the year.
What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking someone with leadership experience in food production, manufacturing, or high-volume hospitality. You’ll be confident making decisions at pace, motivating others, and driving accountability.
You’ll bring:
Experience in a supervisory or management role
Strong organisation and communication skills
Commercial awareness and understanding of cost control
A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
A genuine commitment to safety, quality, and people development
You’ll lead by example, act with integrity, and contribute to building a positive, inclusive team culture.

As Assistant General Manager, you’ll receive a competitive salary of £30,000 per annum, plus:
Colleague discount of up to 50%
20% Friends & Family discount (T&Cs apply)
Flexible working opportunities

This is more than a role — it’s an opportunity to grow your leadership capability within a recognised and expanding brand.
If you’re ready to step up, make an impact, and help us be the best part of our customers’ journey, we’d love to hear from you.
At SSP, we value diversity and are committed to building a team that reflects a variety of skills, talents, and backgrounds.
