**Spotlight Call Notes:

The primary duties involve processing supplier change notifications, requiring excellent written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail, and experience with Microsoft Office systems, especially Excel and PowerBI. Experience in supply chain management and working with suppliers is preferred.
Candidates with a background in GMP or food manufacturing are preferred, but relevant manufacturing experience outside the food industry may be considered. Laboratory-based candidates with strong communication and attention to detail could also be suitable.
Master's degree candidates are generally overqualified, but a master's holder with relevant food manufacturing experience, such as a QA technician or quality inspector, may be considered if interested and willing to accept the role.
Relocation is possible if candidates can move at their own expense and within approximately two weeks, aligning with standard onboarding timelines. Virtual interviews are acceptable if the candidate can transition quickly.
The team culture is supportive, with regular cross-functional interactions involving approximately 15 to 20 team members, including regulatory, microbiology, and supplier contacts.
Supply change management experience is not mandatory but would be advantageous.
