The Role

Reporting to the Development Manager you’ll be responsible for the generation, development and introduction of innovative products for a variety of clients. Working in a fast-paced environment you’ll assist with developing new and existing concepts in line with the company strategy whilst also effectively managing the NPD process.

You will be an enthusiastic and creative Development Chef with a passion for food from all over the world and a culinary flair that is second to none. You’ll have good knowledge of food ingredients and flavours and ideally a strong focus on authentic Asian or Middle Eastern cuisine. Able to think outside the box you’ll have a proven track record of utilising your creative skills for turning innovative concepts into commercially viable products, and therefore will have sound knowledge of the current market to keep ahead of ever changing consumer trends. You must also have brilliant communication and presentation skills in order to impress your high profile customers and achieve success in this role.

Happy to consider talented and ambitious chefs with experience from fine dining establishments who are looking for their first step into NPD.  Or development chefs who have experience within a food manufacturing environment and are looking for a new challenge.
