Specifications Technologist in London

As Specifications Analyst, you will ensure the accuracy, integrity and governance of product specifications and associated technical documents across the EMEA & UK portfolio. You will develop, manage and maintain product specifications as controlled technical documents, aligned to regulatory requirements and internal FSQRN standards. Working across FSQ, R&D, Nutrition & Regulatory, Supply Chain and suppliers, you will ensure the accurate and timely approval of product data including ingredients, allergens, nutrition information and label reviews and drive continuous improvement of the specification process.

By keeping specifications operating as a robust, trusted system of record, you will enable accurate product execution, regulatory adherence and successful product launches across markets. Here, you'll achieve results by:

• Creating, managing and maintaining product specifications as formal, controlled technical documents, and holding them as the single source of truth for product definition.
• Ensuring specifications reflect applicable EMEA & UK regulatory requirements and FSQRN frameworks, and support accurate downstream outputs such as labelling.
• Managing the end-to-end specification lifecycle - creation, approval, maintenance and updates - with version control and audit-ready documentation.
• Partnering with FSQRN, R&D, Nutrition, Regulatory, Supply Chain and suppliers to define and validate specification inputs and coordinate approvals to product launch timelines.
• Identifying opportunities to strengthen and simplify specification processes, systems and data governance across markets.

Here, you'll contribute to our shared success by:

• Bringing high attention to detail, managing complex specification data with precision.
• Applying strong organisation and coordination skills across multiple stakeholders.
• Identifying data issues and driving resolution through structured processes.

Here, you'll thrive by:

• Holding a degree (or equivalent experience) in Food Science, Food Technology or a related field.
• Bringing experience managing product specifications or technical documentation systems in a food or FMCG environment.
• Having a strong understanding of specification structure, governance and lifecycle management; food labelling, allergen and regulatory frameworks; and food safety and quality management systems (e.g., FSSC 22000, BRC, ISO).
• Being proficient in Microsoft Office tools, with experience of specification or data systems desirable.
