The Industrialisation team is a key pillar in R&D. This team is responsible for the transfer of formulations and products developed at bench scale in R&D, to production scale in various global manufacturing sites, including Poland, India and China. We also develop future facing processing and analytical technologies to support business growth. The team works across the full portfolio of colour cosmetics, skincare products, toiletries and hair care products.

You will work as part of the Industrialisation team with a focus on industrialising primarily our colour cosmetic products. You will work closely with key stakeholders, including R&D and global manufacturing sites, to influence the product design and create a robust processing solution so that right first time manufacture is achieved. You will need to apply sound chemical and physical reasoning to understand and resolve scale-up issues with various products.

Outside of NPD work you will be responsible for supporting new technology developments within certain manufacturing sites. You will be a strong technical player within the organisation delivering results with Togetherness, Spirit and Passion!
