Global FMCG and consumer health manufacturer scaling production and supply networks
Reckitt operates a sprawling manufacturing and supply network across 25+ countries with 10,000+ employees, now hiring across sales (185 open roles), manufacturing (145), and finance (136) — indicating aggressive capacity expansion. The tech stack reflects a traditional enterprise footprint (SAP S/4HANA, ERP, MES, Kinaxis supply-chain planning) paired with active adoption of automation and network security tools (Power Automate, SCADA, SD-WAN, SASE, ZTNA), signaling modernization of legacy production systems and supply-chain visibility.
Notable leadership hires: IT & Digital Director, Regional Wholesalers Lead, Engineering Head, Marketing Lead, Maintenance Lead
Reckitt manufactures and distributes consumer health, hygiene, and wellness products across a portfolio that includes over a dozen established brands. The company operates manufacturing facilities, R&D centers, and regional distribution networks spanning the UK, US, Asia-Pacific, Europe, and emerging markets. Active projects center on manufacturing excellence, automation, supply-chain standardization, and new product launches. Pain points cluster around GMP compliance, downtime reduction, equipment reliability, and process automation — typical of large-scale pharma-adjacent and consumer-goods manufacturing.
