Job description

Job Title: Global Technical Coordinator, SDS & GHS Labels

Business Function: R&D

Location: Colworth Science Park or Sunlight House

JOB PURPOSE

Pepsi Lipton is a global joint venture between Unilever and PepsiCo, operating across the Lipton, Brisk and Pure Leaf brands. Our concentrate recipes are manufactured in Ireland and supplied to bottling partners around the world.

We are looking for a highly organised and delivery-focused Global Technical Coordinator to coordinate the day-to-day operation of the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Globally Harmonized System (GHS) labelling process across our global portfolio.

Sitting within R&D, you will independently plan and deliver your responsibilities while working closely with product developers, Supply Chain, Quality, Customer Service and external regulatory specialists. You will coordinate inputs and decisions, communicate priorities clearly, manage external providers and ensure compliant documentation is delivered accurately and on time.

This role will suit someone who has project management experience and enjoys bringing structure to complex work, connecting people across functions and geographies, and turning fragmented information into reliable processes. They will bring a detective mindset - curious, questioning and driven to uncover the detail.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Be accountable for the end-to-end SDS/GHS process, from initial request through to approval, distribution, and storage.
• Manage multiple requests, priorities, milestones, risks, and delivery dates.
• Coordinate day-to-day delivery and performance with external SDS and regulatory service providers, monitoring quality, cost, and timing and escalating issues to the accountable contract owner.
• Review documents for accuracy, compliance, and version control before approval, coordinate specialist input where hazard classification decisions are required.
• Maintain controlled document libraries, trackers, and clear status reporting.
• Coordinate applicable Unique Formula Identifier (UFI), Poison Centre Notification and country-registration activities.
• Identify compliance risks early, elevate in a timely manner, and coordinate corrective action.
• Improve workflows, guidance, checklists and ways of working across the end-to-end process.
• Support supplier annual reviews, supplier selection and contract negotiation.

ALL ABOUT YOU

• Strong organisation and project-coordination skills.
• Excellent attention to detail and a disciplined approach to quality and data accuracy.
• The ability to manage competing priorities and introduce structure into complex processes.
• Confident communication and stakeholder-management skills.
• A proactive, curious approach, with the judgement to ask questions and involve the right experts.
• Experience managing technical documents, regulated records, specifications or labels.
• Experience coordinating external providers or working across R&D, Supply Chain, Quality or Manufacturing, including monitoring delivery and contributing to supplier reviews.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership, and communicate proactively.

A degree or equivalent experience in science, regulatory affairs, quality, health and safety or another relevant discipline would be helpful. Experience with SDSs, GHS labels, dangerous goods, chemical hazard communication or regulatory documentation would be advantageous, but strong coordination skills and experience managing technically controlled information are equally valuable.
