You know those people who actually enjoy the boring but important details? The ones who get a buzz out of making sure specs are watertight, labels are compliant, and customers don t send snotty emails about allergens being in the wrong font size? That s who we need.
This role is about owning the technical paperwork backbone of a food manufacturing business. Specs, artwork sign-off, customer databases, alerts, certifications all that good stuff that keeps the wheels turning and the auditors off our backs.
You won t be chained to spreadsheets all day though. You ll be working with Technical, NPD, Quality, and Production making sure that from concept to launch, everything s not just tasty, but legal.
A few things you ll be doing:
-
Writing and checking product specifications so customers and regulators don t have a meltdown.
-
Signing off artwork (because apparently Comic Sans is still not acceptable for allergens).
-
Keeping up to date with legislation and customer requirements because those rules don t write themselves.
-
Helping maintain BRC, organic, and kosher certifications the glamorous side of food manufacturing.
-
Supporting QA, Production, and NPD teams so they can focus on their stuff, not chasing missing info.
What we re looking for:
-
Someone who actually reads labels in supermarkets and secretly judges them.
-
A solid understanding of food legislation, specs, and customer codes of practice.
-
A communicator who can talk Technical to auditors and plain English to everyone else.
-
Organised. Like, colour-coded-spreadsheets organised.
The hours? 22 a week. Ideally across 5 days (roughly 4 hours a day), but we ll flex for the right person.
If you re the kind of person who gets satisfaction from knowing the paperwork is 100% right (and maybe likes a quiet gotcha when you spot a misprint), then this could be your gig.
Apply now and let s keep the customers, auditors, and regulators happy together.
