The Role

This multi-faceted role will give you the chance to whet your creative appetite for innovation whilst flexing your project management muscles, and allow you to bring about change for food products that will be seen up and down the country. As a talented NPD Technologist you will work with internal teams to ensure your new products correspond with the commercial, technical and functional aspects of the brief at all stages of the critical path; you’ll use your natural creativity, initiative and amazing organisational skills to manage developmental design for innovative and on-trend products that match discerning customer demands but are also a commercial success.

You will work across departments and with key suppliers to manage quality performance and projects from concept to launch with responsibility for packaging designs and formats. You will also work closely with the technical team to ensure delivery of optimum product quality from manufacturing to consumers’ homes.

Some of the products in your category will be heavily influenced by their nutritional qualities so a real interest in nutrition, health and well-being is key.
