- Do you have enthusiasm and excitement for new flavors?

- EPD projects play a big part in the role, your experience of flavors and costs will be challenged.
What are we looking for?
- Ideally a degree in a Food related subject but this is not essential.
- Worked previously with the major UK supermarkets in a customer facing role.
- The ability to work in a team environment, bringing departments together and project manage activities through the business on time and within budget.
- You will need to have great tenacity as working in chilled food, and supplying the major retailers can be incredibly rewarding, and incredibly tough, in equal measures.
- Exceptional communication skills is vital, both internally and externally.
- Exceptional organisation skills
- Self-starter, calm driven and adaptable
In return for meeting the above criteria the successful candidate will receive an excellent package which includes a salary between £35,000-£38,000. This opportunity also offers the opportunity to join a business that is currently growing and successfully winning major retailers.
