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.
