Where do you want to work?
MY JOURNEY SO FAR
- Assistant Basepowder Technologist
- Junior Manager R&D
- Product Development Technologist
- Product Development Manager
- Senior Product Development Technologist
BENEFITS FOR THE COMPANY AND THE CONSUMER
My role is all about coming up with ideas that other people haven't thought about and putting them into practice to improve our products. Using clinical studies and consumer experience we’ve been able to improve our products way beyond where we thought they could go. Additionally, I look to improve recipes in a way that can assist the business in terms of costs savings. So, I think I make a real impact in my role, both for the business and for the end consumer as well.
RELAXED BUT ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL
"It’s a fun place to work!"
Everyone here is friendly and gets along well, but we aren't afraid to challenge each other. It’s a relaxed environment, we try to inject as much fun as we can into the work and the culture around it.
STEP OUT, STEP UP AND DEFINE YOUR CAREER
If you can see where improvements can be made, or that something can be done in a different way, then people are always willing to listen to you, feedback is always welcomed. There’s plenty of opportunities to define where you want to go in your career. That might be a big step like moving overseas, or just small steps such as identifying a project you’d like to work on or spending time with someone from a different function to see what kind of work they do.
DECISIONS ARE TURNED INTO ACTIONS
I’m driving my career, with support from my managers. There’s great training, from online resources to access to global experts. I’m encouraged to consider where I want to be in three or five years and build a plan to get there. It’s not a box-ticking exercise, it’s backed up with action.
