  • Explore novel flavor delivery systems (e.g., encapsulation, emulsions) and clean label alternatives.
  • Partner with marketing and culinary teams to translate concepts into commercially viable products.
  • Ensure all flavor ingredients and formulations comply with regulatory standards (FDA, GRAS, etc.).
  • Maintain accurate documentation and support labeling requirements.
  • Collaborate with QA and regulatory teams during product development and commercialization.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Food Science, Chemistry, Biochemistry, or a related field.
  • 3+ years of experience in flavor development or flavor chemistry in the food or beverage industry.
  • Strong knowledge of flavor compound interactions, volatility, and stability.
  • Experience with analytical instrumentation and sensory evaluation techniques.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally and manage multiple projects simultaneously.
  • Strong preference for a Certification from the Society of Flavor Chemists or similar organization.
  • Experience with plant-based and natural flavor systems.

We believe that every client should receive the benefit and accuracy of a search approach, whilst being able to dictate how, when and where it occurs, all on a fee structure to suit. Our revolutionary approach allows us to structure each assignment according to the requirements, time scales and budget available. We believe that for too long executive search firms have been too rigid in their approach and have been able to dictate how the search is conducted, leaving the client relatively powerless on the outcome.

Our service allows our clients to have increased control, direction and interaction in the search conducted on their behalf and has resulted in successful, on going relationships as search firm of choice with an ever expanding client group.
