Senior R&D Scientist
Senior professional, technical lead for a category, brand or technology platform
Owns a portfolio of product development projects for a category or brand (innovation, renovation, productivity, quality improvement), sets the technical approach, delivers them with high technical robustness and steers the commercialization timeline, while guiding junior scientists. Success is judged on launches that hold up in market, cost and quality targets met, technical risks surfaced early, and the strength of the people and know-how left behind.
