Home to the world's best loved and trusted hygiene, health, and nutrition brands. Our purpose defines why we exist: to protect, heal and nurture in the relentless pursuit of a cleaner, healthier world. We are a global team united by this purpose. Join us in our fight to make access to the highest quality hygiene, wellness, and nourishment a right and not a privilege.
In Research and Development, we're full of highly skilled talents that include Scientists, Engineers, Medical, Clinical and Regulatory professionals - all working to create a cleaner, healthier world. With nine Centres of Excellence, we continually seek out new opportunities by using science, our entrepreneurial flare and our fearless innovation to develop and enhance our existing portfolio, never compromising on quality or performance.
We do the right thing, always, by ensuring we act with responsibility and integrity, by complying with regulatory legislation across the globe, whilst ensuring our products are safe for our consumers and are to the highest quality.
The size of our organisation means you'll have the opportunity to learn and work in different functions within R&D, giving you exposure to different disciplines, teams and environments. You will also have access to our Research and Development Academy, designed to develop our team and allow you to grow in our great organisation.
This is a transformational leadership role, responsible for all raw material specifications across Core Reckitt. You will deliver an enduring positive change in the way in which R&D develops and delivers new products, and the way the wider organization supports these product pre and post product launch. Working across Categories, you will play a lead role in executing the end-to-end business process for raw material specifications, from their creation to their retirement.
You will have a team of specification managers reporting to you who will divide up responsibilities for raw material specifications. You will work closely with the Business Process Leader for Raw Materials (BPL-RM) who will own the process for specification management that you and your team will follow. You will also work closely with the BPL-RM to set the data quality standards for raw material specifications.
Your and your team’s primary role is to write new raw material specifications and revise existing ones as required by the R&D Category and PDM teams, following the Business Process defined by the BPL-RM, and in the process raise the quality of raw material specifications to that defined in the data quality standard. This will be a collaborative activity, taking inputs from adjacent functions such as Quality, Regulatory, Consumer Safety, Procurement and Manufacturing and using your judgement and experience to strike the optimum balance when some of these requirements are in conflict.
