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.
