Job Details



Opportunity to drive the innovation strategy within plant-based product development.

Due to the huge growth in plant-based product development, our client is looking to strengthen the team with this new role.

We are looking for someone with the ability and curiosity to understand the science behind developing plant-based meat alternatives, along with an appreciation of flavours, texture and taste. Creating delicious, great tasting products is essential to keep ahead of the ever-growing number of competitors within this category.

This is an opportunity to join an already successful food business that has ambitious growth plans for the category, backed up by serious investment. You'll be joining a talented team of NPD professionals who are focused on creating high quality, innovative concepts. People who succeed here have a genuine love of food and passion for the products they create. In this position, we need someone with culinary knowledge who understands the science behind plant-based product development. If you have a proven track record in developing innovative and commercially successful new concepts there's huge prospects here for you.

Whilst some travel and flexible working is involved, you will mainly be based at the dedicated plant-based manufacturing site. Therefore it would suit someone based in the West Yorkshire or Lancashire areas.

Fancy joining a well-invested, well-established company with exciting growth plans?
