Job Description

Reporting through to C-Suite, this is a rare opportunity to take total strategic ownership of the technical and R&D functions for this rapidly growing specialist food business.

With a growing International presence and a heavy focus on innovation, quality, safety and compliance are paramount. This newly created role will oversee all direct and co-manufacturing activities with a permanent base at the business’s state-of-the-art production site in Northern Ireland.

Working cross-functionally with R&D, Procurement, Planning, Commercial, and Marketing as well as externally with retail customers, as the successful candidate, you’ll build and implement a Group wide quality and safety program.

From day one, your extensive technical leadership background will be critical – from TACCP/VACCP risk assessments and allergen safety through to legal compliance and R&D stewardship, you’ll act as the CEO’s “technical” right hand!

With both direct and indirect team leadership responsibility, it’s a given that people influence and development, along with upward communication, will be front and centre of your tool kit.

In an open door, proactive “scale up” culture, your ability to be both top-level strategist and operational do-er / mentor is key – If you’re a food manufacturing technical leader and this sounds like you … get in touch for a chat in confidence
