Project Administrator à Grande-Bretagne

Hello, we’re SURI (Sustainable Rituals) -we’re on a mission to make personal care more enjoyable and sustainable, one daily ritual at a time.

For like-minded individuals who already believe in the power of sustainable choices, we aim to create personal care products that are more sustainable, beautiful, and convenient alternatives. We seek to continually push the boundaries of what is possible and invite honest conversation on our collective journey. We launched our first product, an award-winning sustainable sonic electric toothbrush, in 2022, and have sold to nearly 800k customers, across Europe US. Along the way, we have received many awards (Red Dot Design Award, DeZeen People’s Choice Award, Amazon Innovations Awards, Fast Company Most Innovative CPG Company, and more) and great organic press coverage (Wired, Monocle, The Times, The Independent, GQ, and more).

We have a closely knit team of experts who have a strong attention to detail and willingness to think differently. We are looking for someone to redefine the rules on how we bring products to market at SURI, helping us be an exemplary example of a challenger brand and keep momentum building.

As NPD Project Manager you will be leading NPD/NPI programs directly with Product & Innovation to determine critical paths and then project manage all NPD from concept to commercialisation. This would likely be around 70% of the time. 30% of role will be making sure we have appropriate sourcing strategies and suppliers, agreements / contracts, codes of conducts and running of RFI’s, RFP’s and RFQ’s.
