Want a job where you don’t get thrown under the bus?

But it also comes with support. A team that’s genuinely got each other's backs. You’ll roll your sleeves up, muck in, and when your direct report needs help, you’ll be standing next to them — not hiding behind them.

You’ll be the calm in the chaos. And you’ll like it that way.

What you'll actually do:

Be the voice of reason when someone says “It'll be fine on the day” (you’ll know it won’t).

Handle trials, taste panels, and sign-offs – all the sexy stuff and all the paperwork.

Keep customers in the loop – calls, visits, Teams chats, the lot.

Take charge when your manager’s away. Show leadership without needing a badge for it.

Help the Process Tech in your team grow – mentoring, not micromanaging.
