Can you give an example of a project where you collaborated with cross-functional teams to meet project goals and deadlines?

In my previous role as a Junior Flavor Chemist, I collaborated with cross-functional teams on a project to develop a new flavor compound for a beverage company. I worked closely with the Research and Development team to understand their requirements and goals. Together, we conducted experiments to synthesize and analyze the flavor compound using analytical equipment like GC-MS. I also collaborated with the Sensory Evaluation team to evaluate the taste and aroma of the product. Throughout the project, we had regular meetings to discuss progress, address any challenges, and make necessary adjustments to meet the project goals and deadlines.
