The Company
Project Specialist
We’re looking for a Project Specialist to join a busy Sales & Marketing team, taking ownership of customer-led projects across new product development, packaging innovation and SKU expansion.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys coordinating multiple projects, working with customers and suppliers, and seeing projects through from initial concept to successful launch.
The role
You’ll act as a key link between customers, internal teams, manufacturing partners and suppliers, keeping projects on track and ensuring requirements are delivered effectively.
Key responsibilities include:
- Managing project timelines, milestones, risks and launch activities
- Coordinating packaging development and product-format projects
- Working closely with customers, internal teams and external suppliers
- Monitoring progress and identifying potential risks or delays
- Maintaining project documentation, specifications, approvals and change controls
- Supporting business cases, cost analysis and implementation plans
- Identifying opportunities to improve processes, packaging solutions and operational efficiency
- Ensuring developments meet customer, quality, manufacturing and commercial requirements
The Role
We’re very open to speaking with graduates who have gained around 1–2 years’ experience in a project, commercial, operations, supply chain, manufacturing or customer-focused environment.
You’ll ideally bring:
- Around 1–2 years’ relevant commercial or project experience
- Some exposure to coordinating projects, deadlines or multiple stakeholders
- Strong communication and organisational skills
- Excellent attention to detail
- Confidence working across different teams
- Good Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel
- Strong problem-solving skills
- The ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines
- A genuine interest in developing a career within project management and product/packaging development
You don’t need to tick every box. If you’re a bright, commercially minded graduate with some relevant experience and the confidence to manage stakeholders and keep projects moving, we’d be really keen to hear from you.
