Job description

Interim Head of Technical – Chilled Food Manufacturing

A well‑established, high‑growth food business is seeking an experienced Interim Head of Technical to lead its technical and quality function through a period of transition and improvement.

Reporting to the Operations Director, the role will involve stabilising the existing technical team, maintaining customer compliance, and conducting a comprehensive review of current systems and processes. The assignment includes delivering a short‑term stabilisation plan and developing a clear roadmap for improving product quality and consistency.

We’re looking for a proven technical leader with short shelf‑life food experience and a track record of driving quality improvement in fast‑moving, high‑care environments. You’ll bring rigour and empathy, able to quickly gain trust, provide clarity and deliver tangible change.

Key Priorities

  • Interim leadership of the technical and quality team
  • Ensuring compliance with all customer and audit standards
  • Completing a detailed health check of technical systems and supplier management
  • Identifying root causes of product performance issues and implementing corrective actions
  • Developing a roadmap for technical and quality excellence
