  • Investigate customer complaints and non-conformances with site managers; manage corrective action reports including root-cause analysis
  • Lead NPD for wet petfood and AFB - concept through formulation, trial design, palatability testing, and commercial scale-up
  • Research, develop, and formulate least-cost petfood palatants, optimising ingredient selection against cost, availability, compliance, and palatability performance
  • Maintain the ingredient database for palatant and wet petfood divisions, enabling specification revision and least-cost formulation as availability and pricing change
  • Manage export documentation for flavourings and PCP products (Nexdoc, Manufacturer Declarations, DAFF health certificates, certificates of origin and analysis) across all sites

  • Demonstrated experience leading a quality management strategy
  • Experience with managing customer relationships, understanding their requirements and educating them on best practices
