R&D opportunities with global FMCG Company

Without R&D our business has no future. We’re the team that turns great marketing concepts into bestselling products - over 40% of all Reckitt Benckiser revenue comes from products introduced in the last three years. We have five global R&D centres of excellence: Hull, Montvale, Mira, Ludwigshafen and Sydney, as well as smaller R&D centres worldwide. Each is driven by teams of dedicated scientists, chemists, engineers and fragrance specialists, all of which have an unwavering focus on the consumer.

We’re divided into three key groups. First, New Technologies - a forward-looking global team that aims to anticipate the future needs of our consumers and seek out new technology to deliver solutions. Second is Category Development, which works with marketing to get new products to launch within three years. And thirdly Scientific Services, formed of local and regional teams who focus on products that are already launched and on the market. These teams use their technical expertise for a range of projects, from developing a local-need flavour change to delivering a ‘Squeeze’ cost-saving initiative.

Skills required
Must have 2.1 or above and a Chemistry related degree, a proven scientific or engineering background is a must. If your experience is in FMCG or healthcare, then so much the better. The focus here is more on development than pure research and you have to want to apply your technical skills to developing new products that bring real consumer benefits. Flexibility is a key quality, as is a willingness to step away from the lab or workshop and enjoy exposure to the whole product lifecycle. In fact you should expect considerable business exposure - both cross-category and cross-country. To ensure you thrive in this environment, commercial acumen is also vital along with the confidence to champion your ideas to achieve success.
