Job Details

Gü was launched with 3 products in 2003 and now with a current portfolio of over 40 top notch products that are eaten somewhere in the world every 2 seconds. A fabulous story of pure genius and a brilliant team of people with ambitions and plans to take Gu into more categories and eating occasions.

So, "Is ordinary out of the question? Is spectacular up your street? Deliciousness part of your DNA? Then you`ve got what it takes… and we want what you`ve got. And yes. This is the company you`ve dreamed of working for… Gü Puds, a company on a mission to bring a smile to the faces of pleasure seekers everywhere. 

Ever since we first sneaked Gü onto the shelves of a local supermarket, we`ve been pouring our hearts into making these victories more widespread; from a little-known secret to a global taste phenomenon on the tongues of millions. Today, from our new state of the art manufacturing site in Bishops Stortford to the sunny shores of France we`re taking the world by storm. With sales of over £60 million we are continuing to grow globally, taking Europe by storm. To us, it`s a labour of love. A journey of joy, every atom of cheesecake, mousse, spread, molten middle, and soufflé is a little victory for us. The fact is, we love our job and you can taste it."

Now we want a candidate to live the dream as our Technical Manager, joining the leadership team on site. This is our most exciting phase with new multimillion pound factory and an NPD programme designed to invigorate and excite the chilled product sector.

You will lead a large team of quality individuals and be responsible for shaping the technical strategy for the business. You will ensure that procedural standards are effective and drive the site quality and standards through an engagement program with the staff. Also you will work closely with NPD to take products from concept to launch. The successful Technical Manager will drive a quality culture on site and drive strategic developments while working closely with the customer base of major retailers to improve key relationships.

The successful Technical Manager will possess the following skills & experiences:

  • A degree qualification in Food Science or related discipline
  • A quality and food safety focus
  • Experience of working in a branded food manufacturer in a senior technical role
  • A strong leader, with first class communication skills able to be comfortable as an advocate for driving the sites quality as well as managing external relationships for the business.
  • Level 4 HACCP, Food Safety and Lead Auditor qualifications

This is a fantastic opportunity for a talented Head of Technical or Technical Manager to join a dynamic food business in this high profile role.

Company

The Company:

We are the original pud pioneers.

Since 2003, we've been filling homes with ramekins of restaurant-quality, wickedly indulgent desserts.

From Day One, our talented pâtisserie chefs have made every single pud in our very own kitchens, using only the most decadent ingredients, and now we have a range that includes Cheesecakes (some of which also come Free-from!), Hot Puds, Mousses and our new lower calorie Lights range, all of which come in our packaging which is fully recyclable, although we know most of you love to keep the ramekins and re-use them at home!

If you're ever wondering if a Salted Caramel Cheesecake is acceptable at 11 am; just know that somewhere, somebody is tucking into a Gü every single second ...
