- work with the Unilever Safety and Environmental Assessment Centre, regulatory, consumer insight & procurement teams as needed to ensure successful leads could be exploited commercially, how they would be claimed and declared on pack, and their consumer perception.
- Create an ecosystem strategy with increased leverage of external funding.
- Provide expertise in Plant Biotechnology/Breeding across the Nutrition program for relevant ingredients.
- Manage external relationships and identify new opportunities for the programme.
- Collaborate closely across Science and Technology teams and, jointly with the team, drive our digital agenda.
- Lead and execute programme and train colleagues in relevant techniques, if necessary.
- Network effectively with internal colleagues in the other Unilever Divisions to ensure internal plant biotechnology capability and related external relationships are effectively leveraged.
**WHAT YOU WILL NEED TO SUCCEED?**
**Experiences & Qualifications**
- Proven experience (i.e. >5 years) of leading research programmes in plant biotechnology / plant-based approaches for novel ingredients.
- Experience in leading external partnerships and working effectively in complex and diverse ecosystems.
**Skills**
- Understanding of plant biotechnology routes to source novel ingredients
- Solution oriented mindset and good communication skills.
- Intellectual property awareness and ability to manage strategy.
- Good influencing and communication skills; ability to convince and defend own agenda in front of internal stakeholders (within R&D).
