Job description

Food Technical Manager
£70,000 - £85,000 plus Bonus
London

Are you the kind of Technical Manager who doesn’t just tick boxes – but rewrites them?

The food manufacturing world doesn’t stand still, and neither should you. This is your chance to take the reins of technical leadership in a forward-thinking FMCG business that believes doing the right thing isn’t a slogan – it’s how they operate. They are not the cheapest and constantly look at product refinement to enhance their reputation. Here, technical excellence isn’t about firefighting; it’s about building trust, shaping standards, and delivering food you’d be proud to see on any shelf.

About the Role
As Technical Manager, you’ll be the go-to guardian of food safety, quality, and compliance and as well ESG initiatives. You’ll lead the technical agenda, managing everything from customer audits to retailer standards, HACCP to BRC, while managing the supplier & customer relationship – in fact this company sees both sides as the customer.

What We’re Looking For
You’ll be an experienced Technical Manager with a track record in food manufacturing. You know your way around HACCP plans, BRC audits, and retailer codes of practice. You’ll bring strong leadership skills, the confidence to face customers and auditors, and the ability to keep calm when the heat’s on. Bonus points if you’ve worked with high-care or chilled products – but above all, you’ll be passionate about raising the bar on quality and food safety.

What’s on Offer
You’ll join a business that sees Technical not as a cost centre, but as a driver of reputation and growth. Expect a competitive salary, real autonomy, and the support of a leadership team that values your expertise. You’ll get the chance to shape standards, influence culture, and leave your mark on a site that’s serious about doing things right.

Ready to Lead the Technical Agenda?
If you’re ready to turn technical strategy into technical legacy, we want to hear from you. Click apply, bring your expertise – and let’s raise the bar together.
