Product Developer at Swedish Match in Gothenburg

Are you a passionate product developer who wants to create new flavor experiences? Do you thrive in cross-functional teams where creativity meets marketing, production, and technology? We are now looking for you to strengthen Swedish Match's product development team in Gothenburg and contribute to the future product portfolio!

About the Role

As a product developer in our dedicated team, you will play a central role from concept to launch. You will plan and develop new products and further develop existing ones, always with consumer insights and quality in focus. The work is characterized by curiosity, creativity, and an open exchange of ideas, knowledge, and experiences.

You will build a deep understanding of how raw materials, additives, and process parameters affect the product's properties, taste, and quality. You will work both independently and in teams, where engagement, initiative, and responsibility go hand in hand with structure, order, and thorough documentation. You thrive in a dynamic environment and have the ability to prioritize what is most important amidst the noise and make well-informed decisions. A genuine interest in flavors and sensory experiences, where product tasting is a natural part of the work, is central.

In the role of project leader, you will be responsible for the development part of the projects and ensure that requirements and wishes are smoothly integrated into the final product. With your problem-solving ability and willingness to collaborate, you will ensure that all product characteristics come together into a cohesive product with clear product and manufacturing specifications. You will ensure that the product meets consumer needs, that additives and flavorings are approved, and that the product meets sensory, chemical, and legal requirements. The role is part of Product Development, within Product & Technology Development.

About You

We believe that you either have a master's degree in natural sciences with a focus on chemistry or food, or several years of experience in product development work or other consumer-related development work in food, pharmaceuticals, or similar.

As a person, you are proactive, confident, and solution-oriented with a systematic and structured approach. You enjoy responsibility and make your own decisions while contributing energy and a positive attitude to the team. You like to evaluate and test products and possess a good sense of smell, taste, and color. With your communication skills, you ensure that everyone involved works towards the same goals and that the project achieves its set results. Furthermore, you are analytical, creative, and results-oriented. You thrive in an organization that is constantly changing and where there are great opportunities to influence and take responsibility. The role involves many cross-functional contacts, so if you enjoy building relationships and working closely with other functions, you will thrive. To be successful in the role, you must be fluent in Swedish and English, both spoken and written.
