Job Description:
We're Hiring: NPD Manager
? West Yorkshire | ? Full-Time, Permanent | ? Reports to: General Manager
Love creating delicious, high-performing products that customers genuinely enjoy?
Are you someone who thrives in a fast-paced, practical environment – where precision, process, and performance matter just as much as taste? If that sounds like you, this could be your next big move.
We're working with a well-established and growing food manufacturer in West Yorkshire to find an experienced New Product Development Manager – someone with a sharp commercial mind and a hands-on approach, ready to take the lead with a strong focus on Private Label.
? What You'll Be Doing
This isn’t just about creating new recipes – it’s about evolving products customers already love and making them even better. You’ll head up the Existing Product Development (EPD) function, driving improvements in taste, quality, efficiency, and cost, while keeping everything compliant and customer-focused.
Here’s a snapshot of your day-to-day:
* Take ownership of the EPD pipeline – from recipe refreshes to cost-saving projects
* Work directly with flavour houses to source and test exciting new ingredients
* Reformulate products in line with legislation, customer briefs, and internal goals
* Manage product set-ups, artwork changes, and documentation with precision
* Get hands-on in the kitchen – and support scale-ups on the factory floor
* Be the go-to technical link between internal teams and customers
* Collaborate with Commercial and Category teams to keep development on track and aligned with business strategy
? About You
We’re looking for someone with:
* A solid NPD background – ideally in sauces, dry mixes, or savoury foods
* Private Label experience – you know what retailers want and how to deliver it
* A sharp eye for detail and a structured, process-led approach
* Confidence in managing projects, reformulations, and technical documentation
? Sound Like a Match?
This is a brilliant opportunity to join a friendly, passionate, and professional team where your ideas, energy, and execution will truly make an impact.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your NPD career, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply now and let’s talk about your next big flavour adventure!
