The Company
This well-established food business continues to set the standard in high-quality, consumer-first product innovation across a range of dynamic categories. With a strong pipeline of exciting projects, they are now looking for an experienced NPD Manager to join their talented product team on a 14 to 18 month fixed-term contract.
The Role
Reporting to the Senior Innovation Manager, you’ll play a pivotal role in bringing insight-led concepts to life, from early-stage development through to customer approval. This is a collaborative role that will see you working hands-on with products, using your expertise in flavour, ingredients, and emerging trends to drive commercially sound innovation.
You’ll lead multiple development projects across the business’s growing brand portfolio, maintaining momentum across each stage of the process. That means managing timelines, engaging cross-functional teams, presenting ideas to key retail partners, and supporting the creative direction of your category.
With a blend of site-based development, occasional travel to manufacturing sites and customer-facing presentations, this is a varied role with real scope to shape meaningful innovation.
The Candidate
You’ll be an experienced and commercially aware NPD Manager or Senior Product Developer, ideally with a strong grounding in food manufacturing. Confident in recipe development, ingredient sourcing, and managing projects at pace, you bring both creativity and structure to the table.
Your ability to translate trends into tangible, retailer-ready concepts sets you apart, along with your natural flair for collaboration and communication.
This is a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a values-led, fast-paced food business on a high-impact contract. If you're ready to step into a dynamic role with room to make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply now or call us on 07700 137 110.
