Innovation Project Manager at ABWF
• Project management – of both EPD and NPD projects from concept to execution and post-live monitoring, as well as other special projects within the business. Integrating a whole range of skills from research and planning, to communication and risk assessment to manage multiple, cross-functional projects and ensure targets are met. Continually developing processes and ensuring learnings are both recognised and applied going forward are fundamental to the success of these projects. • Nutrition – the in-house nutritionist for allplants, setting internal guidelines on the nutritional profile of our products, based on expertise and EU guidelines. This includes but is not limited to nutritional analysis of our dishes, macro and micronutrient requirements across the dish range, providing my expertise where required for company documents or nutritional advice about our product to enquiring customers. • Recipe development – having worked directly carrying out recipe development and increasing the menu offerings by 40% within a year; from initial concept and business justification to the iterative process of cooking and scaling up a dish ahead of launch, this has taught me first-hand about the processes which I am now managing from a project perspective. This work focused, and continues to revolve around customer and market research, range analysis and nutritional expertise, which has always ensured that we deliver innovative ideas, success for the business and a consistently excellent customer experience through our product.
• A dynamic role covering a vast array of roles - from planning and implementing marketing strategies, promotions and social media managing, to providing customers with insight on the 100+ supplements sold, and covering day-day admin responsibilities as required. • This experience has taught me the value of excellent time management in maximising efficiency, as well as the ability to adapt and evolve, as new responsibilities take precedence. • I have also learned the importance of good communication, as well as having an extensive knowledge and confidence in the product being sold, to be able to implement successful marketing strategies and provide excellent customer service. • Proficient in a range of IT programs including Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and MS Office.
