Required Capabilities

  • Strong experience working with large retail or operational datasets

  • Experience in packaged food categories, private label, product development, or related consumable product categories
  • Strong understanding of private label food product development, including commercialization, packaging, supplier engagement, product lifecycle management, and project execution.
  • Strong judgment in assessing product quality, sensory attributes, customer appeal, value, packaging, brand fit, and category relevance.
  • Ability to translate customer insights, category performance, sales trends, competitive analysis, supplier capabilities, and financial objectives into actionable private label priorities.
  • Practical understanding of food safety, quality standards, product specifications, packaging and labeling requirements, demand planning, and compliant commercialization.
