Your new company

Our client is a leading player in the Food and FMCG retail industry, with an informal and vibrant working environment and an ongoing commitment to provide their customers with an unforgettable range of exciting and innovative products. They are now looking for an experienced Lead Technologist to deliver excellent technical input and supplier management to the New Product Development and Quality Management processes.

Your new role

As a Lead Technologist, you will work closely with internal and external stakeholders (Buyers, Procurement, Marketing etc) to deliver expert Technology input at each stage of the NPD Process. You will be the champion for delivering commercial benefits to the business via a best in class delivery of the NPD strategy, being the one with final sign off on all proposals for new or improved products. With a particular emphasis on Innovation, you will play a key role in inspiring the business to take on board new ideas. And you will then manage the suppliers to ensure food safety, legal and quality standards are met and maintained. Your time will be split between the head office in the North West of England, and the supply base not only in the UK but also Europe, so being able to travel is imperative.

What you'll need to succeed

It is expected that you have Technical, QA and NPD experience in a Meat / Protein category working for a retailer, wholesaler or food production company. With a can do attitude, you'll be an experienced auditor with an advanced knowledge around HACCP and BRC global standards for food safety. Ideally you will have a food related degree or qualifications in the field, however it is your ability to work collaboratively and to influence and lead that will also help you succeed in this exciting and challenging position.

What you'll get in return

You'll be offered a competitive salary with a company car from day 1. As well as a competitive colleague discount, you will receive money off at selected retailers and also a discounted gym membership. There is free parking on site and you also have the opportunity to join the workplace pension scheme.
