Due to continued success and rapid expansion plans, a global multi-site FMCG manufacturer has a brand role for a Development Assistant to join their commercial team. You will support the Product Development Manager:
1. Assisting the NPD & Commercial team with sourcing new materials, ensuring credentials match customer needs.
2. Managing day-to-day administration for the department ensuring all records are up to date and audit traceable.
3. Requesting product samples from production and arranging distribution.
4. Working as a key critical coordinator in product launches, confirming and communicating time-scaling/deadlines, assisting with the preparation of presentation documentation.
5. Travelling to customer, supplier, and retailer sites, conducting relevant research, and feeding this information back to the business.
We would expect the successful Development Assistant to demonstrate a good working knowledge of Microsoft Office including PowerPoint, have a passion for research and development, along with the ability to communicate and present effectively. Bilingual in French would be advantageous (but not essential). Regular international and national travel is required, so a valid passport and driving license are essential, along with a flexible approach to working hours. You will be supported 1 to 1 to become familiar with the company processes and procedures. This would be an ideal role for you if you have worked in Product Development, NPD, or a Product Analyst position. We are keen to hear from graduates with a suitable discipline for the role.
You will be joining a global FMCG manufacturing company that is well-established and has an enviable reputation in the field. Working directly for the Product Development Manager, this role offers variety on a daily basis. The organisation name is synonymous with delivering outstanding quality products, and they are keen to recruit a Development Assistant who strives to offer the same.
