The opportunity

This is a role for someone who enjoys switching between strategic thinking and practical delivery. One day you'll be helping shape the long-term innovation pipeline, the next you'll be working through the detail of a product launch, packaging change or business case.
What you'll be doing
- Lead global innovation projects from concept through to launch.
- Support the development of long-term brand and innovation strategy.
- Build commercially robust business cases for new products and portfolio initiatives.
- Work closely with R&D, Consumer Insights, Packaging, Regulatory and Supply Chain teams.
- Develop product propositions, claims, packaging and pricing recommendations.
- Translate consumer and market insight into commercially successful innovation.
- Drive portfolio optimisation and productivity initiatives.
- Partner with regional teams to deliver successful launches across multiple markets.
- Present recommendations to senior stakeholders and influence key business decisions.
