Position Overview
These two roles sit at the heart of product quality and efficient production. The Product Shelf Life Manager oversees shelf life evaluation, quality monitoring, and product stability work. That includes coordinating shelf life testing programmes, reviewing product performance, and setting procedures that keep standards steady. You will work with R&D, production, QA, and packaging to find what affects freshness, stability, and storage conditions. Responsibilities include developing and maintaining shelf life assessment procedures, monitoring quality indicators, evaluating packaging effectiveness, reviewing storage and handling, and analysing stability data, while supporting improvements to formulation, preservation methods, packaging materials, and processes. The Processing Operations Manager oversees daily food processing so operations are efficient, consistent, and aligned with quality and safety requirements. That means coordinating processing schedules, monitoring performance, improving workflows, and making good use of equipment, materials, and resources, together with production, maintenance, supply chain, and QA. Both roles support continuous improvement — reducing waste, improving consistency, strengthening quality control, and raising efficiency.
Why This Role Matters: Shelf life decides how far and how long a food product can travel while staying safe and tasty. Strong shelf life work and steady processing operations protect consumers, reduce returns, and keep the brand credible.
