We are Reckitt

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.

Supply

Our supply chain is the backbone of our business. It's how we get our trusted products to people all over the world, safely and efficiently. And it's our talented and passionate teams that make this happen. If you're looking for a career in supply chain, there's no better place to be than Reckitt. We offer a variety of exciting opportunities in all areas of the supply chain, from planning and procurement to manufacturing and logistics. You could join our Global Supply Planning team to develop and implement our global supply strategy, or work with our Procurement Centre of Excellence team to negotiate and manage our supplier relationships. Our Manufacturing Excellence team help us improve the efficiency, quality and safety of our manufacturing operations, and our Logistics Excellence team develop new and innovative ways to distribute our products to customers.

About the role

In this role, you will play a key part in driving site‑level technical excellence by connecting category technical strategy with on‑the‑ground execution. You will lead the introduction of new products and technologies, oversee technology transfers, and champion continuous improvement through strong validation governance and portfolio resilience.

As a member of the Site Leadership Team, you will be accountable for Technical Development, Activity Management, and Site Validation governance. You’ll work closely with teams across Packaging, Engineering, QA, and Planning, influencing long‑term CapEx planning and shaping the site’s technical footprint for the next 3–5 years. You will also partner with Procurement to strengthen business continuity through dual‑sourcing initiatives.

Day‑to‑day, you will translate category priorities into the site technical masterplan, ensure robust validation standards, and drive the rollout of new technologies and product introductions. You will embed standardised ways of working, promote data‑driven decision‑making, and strengthen process safety and risk management frameworks. Through collaboration with Area Technical Leadership and Science & Technology Transfer teams, you will support the delivery of safe, efficient, and scalable manufacturing processes.

Your responsibilities

Ensure efficient use of resources to deliver business projects on time, often against tight and fixed deadlines.
Coordinate cross‑functional project teams (including BOM, Tech PPV, and technology transfer activities from R&D or between manufacturing sites).
Provide industrialisation support and troubleshoot manufacturing technologies at site level, with potential involvement across regional or global operations.
Work across a broad range of product classifications and manufacturing technologies.
Drive continuous improvement across all manufacturing processes, focusing on technological efficiency, operational performance, and business systems improvements (e.g., Artwork Change Management processes).

The experience we're looking for

Degree in Engineering or a related technical discipline.
5–10 years’ experience in FMCG or pharmaceutical manufacturing, with a strong technical leadership background.
Proven expertise in industrial engineering, technology transfer, and regulatory standards.
Demonstrated success in leading high‑performing teams to deliver results and drive business growth.
Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to influence at multiple levels.
Strong understanding of material properties and processing technologies.
