  • Team Collaboration: Inspire and coach the R&D Technologist and work closely with other teams to foster a culture of collaboration and creativity.
  • Market Impact: Work hand-in-hand with marketing and category R&D teams to develop and execute innovative snacks that drive growth for both our branded and retailer own-brand products.
  • Partnership Development: Build and nurture relationships with third-party manufacturers and raw material partners to keep our recipes at the cutting edge of taste and innovation.
  • Snacking Expertise: Become an expert in our snack technologies, understanding the nuances of each site’s capabilities to maximise innovation opportunities.


Who We’re Looking For:

  • A true ‘foodie’ with a passion for innovation in the snacking industry.
  • Experience in R&D or a related field, ideally within food manufacturing.
  • Strong leadership and team collaboration skills.
  • A creative thinker who can turn consumer insights into tasty, market-winning products.
  • Flexibility and a hands-on approach to managing projects across multiple sites.


Why Valeo Foods?
