Want a job where you don't get thrown under the bus?

Good. Because this one does come with pressure — tight KPIs, fast turnarounds, and big retailers.

But it also comes with support. A team that's genuinely got each other's backs. You'll roll your sleeves up, muck in, and when your direct report needs help, you'll be standing next to them — not hiding behind them.

You'll be the calm in the chaos. And you'll like it that way.

What you'll actually do:

Own the process from kitchen to factory floor - manage product launches like a boss.

Be the voice of reason when someone says “It'll be fine on the day” (you'll know it won't).

Handle trials, taste panels, and sign-offs - all the sexy stuff and all the paperwork.

Keep customers in the loop - calls, visits, Teams chats, the lot.

Take charge when your manager's away. Show leadership without needing a badge for it.

Help the Process Tech in your team grow - mentoring, not micromanaging.

You'll need:

To already be a Process Technologist. Not someone “interested in food.” You live it.

A decent understanding of food safety and manufacturing.

To not melt under pressure. This is a busy, noisy, occasionally chaotic place.

To be a doer. Someone who doesn't wait to be asked.

Experience with retailer launches.

Some personality. Because this isn't a lab coat and clipboard kind of team - we like humans here.

Nice to have:

Degree in Food Science? Great. Not got one? No big deal if you've done the job.

Managed people before? Ideal. Haven't? We'll teach you.

Worked with HACCP, allergens, and all that technical jazz? Even better.

Been doing this kind of job and ready for the next step? Or maybe already in a senior role and looking for a team that actually works together?

Then let's talk.
