Full Job Description

  • Lead sensory & consumer research programmes across the Dry portfolio, from concept through launch, ensuring scientifically robust and commercially relevant methodologies.
  • Partner cross-functionally with R&D, Marketing, Commercial and Quality teams to translate project briefs into actionable research plans and insights.
  • Design, analyse and interpret data from qualitative and quantitative methodologies (e.g. focus groups, CLTs, surveys), delivering clear recommendations to inform decision-making.
  • Present insights with impact, compiling structured reports and communicating findings confidently to stakeholders and customers.
  • Support customer engagement, advising on appropriate sensory approaches and contributing to technical discussions, proposals and project reviews.
  • Drive functional excellence, applying international best practices and contributing to continuous improvement of sensory methodologies and processes.
  • Build capability by delivering sensory and consumer science training internally and, where appropriate, externally to customers.
  • Champion data governance for the Dry portfolio, supporting data integrity, standardisation and alignment with regional and global best practices.

    Degree in Sensory & Consumer Science, Food Science or related discipline.
  • Relevant experience in sensory and consumer science within FMCG (food preferrably) or B2B.
  • Proven ability to independently design and manage end-to-end research programmes.
  • Strong statistical analysis capability with experience interpreting complex datasets.
  • Confident presenter, able to communicate technical findings to cross-functional and customer stakeholders.
  • Strong planning and organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple concurrent projects.
  • Effective influencer and collaborative team player, comfortable working across multicultural environments.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office and sensory/consumer software (e.g. Compusense or equivalent).

    As a McCormick employee you'll be empowered to focus on more than your individual responsibilities. You'll have the opportunity to be part of something bigger than yourself-to have a say in where the company is going and how it's growing.
    • Between our passion for flavor, our 130-year history of leadership and integrity, the competitive and comprehensive benefits we offer, and our culture, which is built on respect and opportunities for growth, there are many reasons to join us at McCormick.
