    work closely with cross-functional teams to launch high quality products and packaging which scale efficiently within the factory and are delivered to launch timings.

    For BAU supply continuity / continuous improvement; work with the Product Development, Process and/or Procurement teams to implement ingredient / packaging changes to ensure continuity and efficiency of supply without impact on product quality or consumer perception.
