This award winning and premium branded food manufacturer supply an ever evolving range of mouth-watering chilled delights to the UK retail market. They are seeking an Innovation Chef to create and launch first-to-market, standout products.

The Role

This is a unique and fantastic opportunity to learn, grow, experiment and above all work for a business you can be proud of. You will be responsible for developing new and innovative ideas as part of a committed development team, working to extend this brand’s product range in line with emerging trends and market insights. Responding to briefs and intelligence from both the brand and marketing teams you will investigate trends, flavours and ingredients to see how they can best be attuned to new products, preparing samples and organising tasting panels for senior members of the NPD team.

The Person

You’ll be an enthusiastic and creative foodie with culinary flair who loves to experiment with new ingredients and techniques, showing off your cheffing skills to the full.  Able to think outside the box, you’ll be confident in presenting your ideas and passion for food to others. You’ll constantly be on the lookout for the latest food trends and be able to bring these ideas to life to keep ahead of competitors. Always ready to listen to feedback with a willingness to learn and improve, you’ll also possess a positivity that is palpable to others around you

Ideally you’ll have some food manufacturing experience from a previous role, however passion and personality will also go a long way so we would also consider chefs with experience gained from fine dining restaurants who are looking for a change in career.
