Oh story oh alright yeah someone is a
00:00:05
component helpful I am a marketer with
00:00:08
fourteen years of experience globally
00:00:10
in fast moving consumer goods and I'm
00:00:12
also the founder of signature candles
00:00:15
signature channels might not be
00:00:16
difficult company you today it's not a
00:00:19
big corporate it's not a high tech
00:00:20
company it is an early stage startup
00:00:23
are vision that signature candles is to
00:00:28
provide people the opportunity to
00:00:30
design their own scented candles online
00:00:32
so that they can create a unique
00:00:34
atmosphere in their own home. So it is
00:00:37
in the space of mass customisation
00:00:40
basically consumers can blend the
00:00:43
fragrance that they like pour it into
00:00:45
good to one container that they believe
00:00:46
will look nice in their living room or
00:00:48
bathroom or bedroom and also add to
00:00:51
personalise label either to show what
00:00:53
they've created themselves or to make
00:00:55
somebody happy with a nice personalised
00:00:57
gift no mass customisation is very
00:01:00
popular nowadays it has become so over
00:01:03
the last five to ten years in
00:01:04
industries like automotive fashion
00:01:06
jewelry and we now want to bring this
00:01:09
into the space of home fragrances. And
00:01:12
home fragrances in general and also
00:01:14
scented candles specifically is big
00:01:16
business scented candles in the UK
00:01:18
alone is about two hundred million
00:01:20
bouncy turnover year making even an
00:01:23
issue like this. Uh potentially very
00:01:26
sizable sizable about twelve million
00:01:28
now we are offering maybe not typical
00:01:32
master project but a very interesting
00:01:34
one for people who like to venture out
00:01:37
into the unknown has a very steep
00:01:39
learning curve or maybe in the future
00:01:42
starting their own business and wanting
00:01:44
to have a slightly less risk low risk
00:01:49
peek into the practise of that we are
00:01:52
looking for a production design leader.
00:01:57
Now you may think how hard can it be to
00:01:59
manufacture a candle to very low tech
00:02:01
product right people have been doing
00:02:03
that since ancient times and you would
00:02:05
be right. That's not very difficult.
00:02:08
But the technical challenge comes in
00:02:09
when you look at mass customisation
00:02:11
basically what needs to be achieved is
00:02:14
the efficient production of a very high
00:02:16
number of unique batches of one. So we
00:02:20
are looking for somebody who can take
00:02:22
on the challenge of designing a modular
00:02:25
make to order production system for
00:02:28
this purpose to challenges will include
00:02:30
how do you limit changeover times how
00:02:34
do you make sure that the right choices
00:02:36
are applied to the right order because
00:02:39
every quarter will be different. And
00:02:41
you have to do is while working with
00:02:43
wax at high temperatures and perfume in
00:02:46
very low quantities. So I'm very keen
00:02:49
to see who has out of the box solutions
00:02:51
for that now you will not be working on
00:02:55
you would be working in team with the
00:02:56
market with a web designer and also
00:02:58
with the perfume or ways to necessary
00:03:00
technical expertise from a content
00:03:03
point of view the intern you
00:03:07
potentially would be the technical P
00:03:08
other in the team. Now we're not just
00:03:11
looking for anyone to fill that
00:03:12
position we're looking for somebody
00:03:14
with a can do mentality somebody with
00:03:15
very proactive leadership strong
00:03:18
creative problem solving skills and of
00:03:20
good and of course a good mastery of
00:03:22
production management. So in conclusion
00:03:28
if you are interested in having a
00:03:31
leadership position and making a
00:03:33
meaningful difference from the start
00:03:35

00:03:37
