Who are we?  

Glad you asked! We're KP Snacks, proud to be part of the Intersnack family. Picture this: over 15,000 of us, spread across more than 30 countries, all working together to create the snacks you love. From Hula Hoops to McCoy's, we're the team behind your favourite munchies. 

Here in the UK, we're about 2,400 strong, spread across seven factories and our Slough HQ. But don't let our size fool you – we're as close-knit as they come. We believe in speaking our minds, celebrating our differences, and pushing boundaries together. 

Diversity isn't just a buzzword for us.  We're on a mission to create a workplace where everyone belongs. So, even if you don't tick every box, we want to hear from you! Your unique perspective could be just what we need. Also, if there's anything we can do to make this process easier for you, just give us a shout. 

We’d love to hear from you if you can demonstrate the following knowledge, skills and experience: 

• A solid understanding of JD Edwards (JDE) applications, ideally EnterpriseOne 9.2, with the ability to apply this knowledge across finance, sales, and manufacturing functions.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills that enable you to work effectively with both technical and non-technical colleagues, supporting the team’s success.

• Experience supporting end-to-end business processes, with transferable expertise from FMCG or other fast-paced, complex environments.

• Confidence in reviewing and correcting SQL scripts, alongside experience in collaborative, multi-cultural, and geographically diverse team environments — but we’d still love to hear from you if you don’t meet every requirement.

• Alignment with KP’s values through teamwork, integrity, a focus on continuous improvement, and the ability to build positive relationships across the business.
