This branded science-led food business is ready for scale-up. We need a Technical Operations Manager to help get them there.

This bakery business has taken science nutrition to the next level. They have created healthy, delicious products, normally up there as one of the naughtiest in terms of sugar and fat content. We’re talking cookies, donuts, muffins, with half the fat and sugar content, added fibre, and of course up to half the calories. With no compromise on taste, texture, appearance, and sheer indulgence, it’s no wonder their products are flying off the shelves.

Branded retail outlets are already established in some key locations in London and the South. Now the retailers are interested, including Selfridges, Tesco, and Sainsbury’s, it’s time to partner with a third-party co-packer as they gear up to meet national demand.

Your experience will include technical management of third-party manufacturers and co-packers, plus supplier auditing and risk management. This will include guiding through new product launches from concept to test production run.
