Job Details
Delivering great new ideas in food innovation
Here you'll be part of a talented & creative team creating sublime products for a much-loved food brand.
As Innovation Manager, you'll be scoping out the latest opportunities in the market for new product development. Using your knowledge of consumer trends and identifying customer needs, you'll create a strong innovation pipeline that keeps this business ahead of the competition.
You'll have responsibility for ensuring all product launches run smoothly on time and to budget. This will involve close working with your development chef, technical, marketing and operations colleagues. They already have well-structured processes in place, so you won't be starting from scratch. But you will need experience managing multiple projects to challenging deadlines.
Super-passionate about food, you'll already be immersed in the latest trends and understand where new opportunities lie. You won't be afraid to take risks and push the boundaries to create genuinely exciting new concepts.
Experience-wise, we are looking for someone who has worked in chilled food manufacturing with knowledge of developing both product and packaging. Someone who's had a real focus on consumer insight, benchmarking, competitor analysis and reviewing market trends.
You'll be joining a brand rated for its delicious, high quality products. It's well-invested with an exciting further growth strategy that you'll play a key part in delivering. We are looking for someone who is keen to grow with the business and will fit in well with the friendly, ambitious team.
There's a flexible mix of office and home-working in this role, working around the needs of your projects.
Roles like this don't come around that often.
