Flavorist W/M

Your role

Join our Creative Center in Bangkok and take on a key regional role as a Flavorist, supporting our flavor development across Southeast Asia—primarily in the beverage category, with a focus on the Thai, Vietnamese, and Indonesian markets.

In this role, you’ll work independently to lead projects from concept to delivery, with a local support team in Bangkok. Your main mission will be to develop tailored flavor solutions in line with current regulations and customer briefs—whether through creation, adaptation, or matching.

You’ll also represent the company at trade shows and occasionally travel to meet clients, supporting projects from initial concept to final delivery.

Based in a dynamic, multicultural environment, you’ll have access to a wide network of tools, resources, and partners to ensure projects are deliveredFL efficiently and to the highest standards.

Take the lead in shaping flavor innovation in one of the world’s most vibrant and fast-evolving regions.

• Maintain a proactive outlook on market and technology trends, through trade shows, publications, and supplier exchanges, and help shape a competitive, evolving regional flavor portfolio.
