Job Details



Seeing your product on TV. Winning innovation awards. Record-breaking sales growth. If these things make your heart sing, in this role they are all within reach

Joining a business that really invests in innovation, you'll be developing first to market new concepts in categories enjoying significant growth.

You'll be part of a talented and supportive team of creative food professionals. In this senior role, you'll be leading NPD & EPD projects from initial brief through to launch. This will involve close working with the brand marketing team, hands-on recipe development, product testing and presentations through to factory trials and launch. You'll be involved in innovation days, meeting with suppliers and retailers and some travel to manufacturing sites. It's a varied role that would suit an experienced Product Developer with great food credentials who enjoys being hands-on.

With significant recent investment at site, you'll be joining at an ideal time to see the company through another period of successful growth. There are loads of exciting projects in the pipeline, working on brands that are leading in their categories. You'll be well supported by colleagues in Innovation, Process and Packaging to develop first to market new concepts and continuously improve the existing favourites.

People who succeed here are great at cross-functional working, able to forge positive working relationships across different business areas and manufacturing sites. You'll be confident and credible in presenting your ideas and work collaboratively to find solutions to project challenges. Happy in the development kitchen or on the factory floor, you'll have a proven track record in development within food manufacturing, ideally with experience on the branded side.
