Business Unit Manager – Nutraceuticals
hace 3 semanas
Our client is a renowned leader in the candy manufacturing industry who has become a trusted name in the confectionery manufacturing industry and is expanding its horizons with the launch of a new and innovative nutraceutical and dietary supplements product line. Their commitment to delivering delicious and nutritious candy options that promote health and well-being has been very positive and they are seeking a dedicated and creative Business Unit Manager (Nutraceutical) to lead this initiative.
The growing demand for health-focused confectionery has quickly outstripped the capabilities of existing systems and has pushed them to start a new division accompanied by a new, purpose-built, facility to focus specifically on these new products.
THE POSITION
The Business Unit Manager (Nutraceutical) will lead this new Business Unit based in Tijuana, Mexico within the existing footprint of the current manufacturing operation. This role offers more than just routine management tasks; it’s a unique opportunity for someone ready to tackle a challenge and spearhead a new division from the ground up. This is a pivotal role in developing, launching, and managing a new line of nutraceutical candies. This position will be responsible for overseeing the entire product life cycle, from concept and formulation to production and market launch. Your mission will be to create high-quality, functional candies that provide tangible health benefits to the final customers.

Their investigative and curious mindset, paired with the supportive framework from the parent company management, will play a key role in keeping our company at the cutting edge of the industry by exploring new technologies, ingredients, and innovations while simultaneously providing best-in-class development and manufacturing services.
This role offers more than just routine management tasks; it’s a unique opportunity for someone ready to tackle a challenge and spearhead a new division from the ground up. As the leader of this new division in a purpose-built facility, you’ll have the freedom to shape operational practices with the support of a parent company with nearly four decades of candy manufacturing prowess. This role will collaborate with the Sr Plant Manager and other key stakeholders within the greater organization to align the Business Unit’s goals and operations with the overall company objectives.
Key Responsibilities:
Product Development : Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including R&D, manufacturing, and marketing, to create innovative nutraceutical candy products.

Maintain high product quality and consistency, working closely with the quality assurance team to meet or exceed established standards. Promote a culture of continuous improvement, innovation, and operational excellence.
Cost Management : Manage product development costs and budget, resources, and timelines to ensure the sub-facility’s projects are delivered on time and within scope.

Regulatory Compliance: Ensure that all products meet regulatory and compliance standards, including FDA guidelines for nutraceutical products.
THE CANDIDATE
