IFF is a global leader in flavors, fragrances, food ingredients and health and biosciences. We deliver sustainable innovations that elevate everyday products.

Taste: Crafting unique, technology-enabled flavor designs that define the identity of food and beverage brands, shape trends in flavor building and fuel market success.

The role is on-site and based at our Tastepoint South location in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Be part of a collaborative, customer-focused and creative team where together we can achieve greatness and make a real impact. Your potential is our inspiration.

  • Align project prioritization, timelines, budgets and resources with business strategy and stakeholder needs.
  • Identify and implement sensory and consumer research methodologies that address project objectives and capture evolving consumption habits and taste preferences.
  • Design and conduct discriminative and descriptive sensory research, quantitative consumer studies, social listening and qualitative consumer research.
  • Develop moderator guides and facilitate qualitative research
  • Analyze complex sensory and consumer data using statistical models, textual analysis and other relevant approaches.
  • Translate research findings into clear insights and actionable recommendations that support flavor and product development.
  • Present findings to internal stakeholders and customers, demonstrating consumer understanding and product perception.
  • Manage onsite sensory testing laboratory activities and collaborate across Tastepoint and South Brunswick locations.

What Makes You the Right Fit

  • At least seven years of experience in sensory science, consumer insights or a related research field.
  • Advanced knowledge of sensory and consumer research methodologies, including qualitative research, sensory evaluation and quantitative consumer research.
  • Experience analyzing complex data using advanced statistical techniques and software such as R, XLSTAT or similar tools.
  • Strong project-management skills, with the ability to manage budgets, resources, timelines and competing priorities.
  • Ability to work independently, make informed decisions and deliver high-quality work with limited supervision.
  • Excellent written, verbal and presentation skills, with the ability to communicate insights to technical, commercial and customer audiences.
  • Strong business understanding, learning agility and the ability to influence stakeholders in a fast-changing environment.
  • Ability to travel up to 20%, primarily between Tastepoint and South Brunswick sites and occasionally for customer presentations.

How Would You Stand Out?

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
