About the role

Saputo, Inc. seeks a Vice President of Research & Development to set and execute the Ingredients Division’s technical strategy, translating customer needs and dairy science into scalable, profitable solutions. You will own the portfolio across whey- and milk-based proteins, cultures, and specialty ingredients, driving end-to-end development and governance. Applicants should bring 15+ years in dairy R&D, deep dairy chemistry knowledge, and strong leadership with P&L responsibility.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
