JOB DESCRIPTION AND PERSON SPECIFICATION

Job title: Senior Business Analyst (Food Industry Sourcing)

We (with partners) have recently secured funding to help build an AI-enabled surplus supply chain platform for the food system. Our target outcome for this work is to access new sources of Work in Progress (WIP) surplus food from within major manufacturing companies. To do this, we need to create and surface data about the demand for these products across our charity base and from innovative manufacturing projects we run, including the Coronation Food Project.
This role involves extensive travel across the UK (40-50% of your working week on average, built around a workplan you will help to develop), learning about the needs and practices of a large range of our recipient charities and getting under the skin of the work we are doing to create meals from surplus ingredients. It is a crucial role in our work to increase the rescue of surplus edible food and provide it to organisations who use it to strengthen their communities.
Through this role, you will also serve as a source of supply chain expertise to the wider organisation, helping to ensure we are embedding key learnings and improving our own internal practices in parallel to this project.
