Job description

Technical Manager

Location: Warwickshire

Salary: £65,000 doe

Here’s the deal. We need a Technical Manager to lead food safety, quality, and compliance for a fast-growing food manufacturer. The company? You’ll find out when you apply, but let’s just say they make healthy snacks that people actually want to eat.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Running the show when it comes to food safety, quality control, and compliance. No messing about.
• Leading audits, handling supplier issues, and keeping customer complaints under control.
• Making sure HACCP and TACCP teams are on it, so nothing slips through the cracks.
• Prepping for audits like you’ve done it a hundred times (because you probably have).
• Working closely with customers to keep them happy, without letting them walk all over you.

What You’ll Need:

• Proper experience managing technical functions in food manufacturing.
• Level 4 HACCP and Food Safety certifications—this isn’t your first rodeo.
• Lead Auditor experience and the ability to stay calm when things get hectic.
• Strong communication skills—you’ll need to be hands‑on, visible, and able to get people on board.

This isn’t a big corporate machine where you’re a cog in the wheel, but it’s also not a start‑up struggling to keep the lights on. As a venture-backed business, it’s a company where your work actually matters.
