Here at innocent, we’re on a mission to make it easier for everyone to get more fruit and veg into their bodies. We started back in 1999 and since then we’ve gone from selling a few smoothies at a music festival to becoming one of Europe’s biggest drinks companies with around 1,000 people (and the B Corp seal of approval).

It’s nice to be able to say things like that but we’re not patting ourselves on the back just yet. We want to show everyone that it’s possible to be a successful business while looking after people and the planet too, so we’re trying to get better in pretty much every way. And that’s where this job comes in.

We have big fruiture plans. The Supply Portfolio team plays a huge role in this – making sure we can make NPD happen, across existing and new sites. This role will be managing and coordinating our innovation projects from a supply side – from talking to new and existing co-packers, to ensuring our buyers are teed up to source and buy new ingredients.

Carrying out supply project feasibility
Leading supply-focussed project meetings, giving clarity on key milestones and timelines and ensure the experts are brought in as required.
Constantly driving change and process improvement within the project framework.
Predicting future needs and models strong problem solving skills, changing the framework accordingly.
Identifying opportunities within a project (or process) where waste occurs (TIMWOODS) and puts in the steps to eliminate it.
Negotiating competitive commercials, targeting margin accretive COGS or other goals, as needed.

Proven skills in stakeholder management
Strong communication skills
Good understanding of our current network capabilities
Planning and organising skills
Facilitation and problem solving skills
Strong attention to detail

you'll get

The opportunity to problem solve some of our biggest challenges and make our new existing products at innocent

We want innocent to be a great place to work, so we do lots of stuff to make people feel at home and try to make sure everyone’s career is shaping up the way they want it to. There are plenty of opportunities to have a go at something new or take things further.

In exchange for helping us do business in the right way, you’ll get a solid rewards package that includes a salary (phew), private healthcare, a target-based bonus, and a bunch of other nice things like a day off on your birthday. And yes, you get free smoothies.

We also know that not all our drinkers come from the same background, or think the same – so why should we? At innocent, we want to be a great place to work where a diverse bunch of people from all backgrounds can turn up and thrive. When we hire, we want all the juice, bits, and pulp that make you who you are.

Even if you don’t think you can tick all the boxes, if the job sounds right for you, come and throw your hat in the ring.

Probably best to get your skates on though, as we might close this early if we get loads of applications.
