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.
