NPD Project Manager
This is a key role within a business that designs and delivers innovative, high-quality products used globally. You’ll lead cross-functional teams and projects from initial concept through to launch, driving delivery across design, engineering, quality, manufacturing, and supply chain teams to ensure every project meets time, cost, and performance goals.
If you are an experienced technical/NPD project leader ready to drive innovation and cross-functional collaboration in a fast-paced product development environment, wanting to lead complex new product initiatives from concept through to launch, then this could be an ideal opportunity for you.
Responsibilities
* Take ownership of complex product development projects from brief to completion, ensuring on-time, on-budget, and high-quality delivery.
* Lead multidisciplinary teams, coordinating activity across technical, quality, operations, finance, and commercial functions.
* Serve as the key link between internal stakeholders, suppliers, and senior leadership — ensuring visibility, communication, and alignment throughout the project lifecycle.
* Report on progress using clear, data-driven metrics and KPIs, identifying risks early and proposing effective mitigation plans.
* Continuously review and enhance project management processes to improve efficiency, visibility, and consistency across programmes.
* Support the development of team capability through coaching, mentoring, and strong leadership.
Experience / Skills
* Degree-qualified in engineering, science, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.
* Proven experience delivering complex NPD or technical programmes within a regulated or process-driven manufacturing environment.
* Formal project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2, Agile, or similar) would be beneficial but not essential.
* Strong organisational skills with the ability to influence, motivate, and drive cross functional collaboration.
* A proactive and solutions-focused mindset — confident in making decisions and driving continuous improvement.
You’ll be part of an organisation that values collaboration, innovation, and continuous development. This is a great opportunity to shape meaningful, end-to-end projects while contributing to a culture of operational excellence and improvement.
If you’re an experienced Technical/NPD Project Manager/Engineer who thrives on seeing ideas become real products, please apply for immediate consideration.
