We are currently partnering with a leading food manufacturer to recruit a Product Developer to join their fast-paced and innovative NPD team. This is an excellent opportunity for a driven individual to play a key role in delivering new product concepts from initial brief through to successful launch.
Working closely with internal teams, you will support the end-to-end product development process, including concept creation, sample development, packaging input and factory trials. You will be responsible for managing projects through each stage, ensuring products meet customer expectations. The role will also involve preparing product documentation and presentations, supporting customer meetings and collaborating with technical, commercial and production teams to ensure smooth project delivery.
You will play an active role in pre-production and launch activities, as well as post-launch reviews, while contributing to continuous improvement across processes and ways of working. This position requires someone who can manage multiple priorities, communicate effectively across departments and thrive in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
The ideal candidate will have a degree in Food and previous experience within a food manufacturing NPD or product development role. Strong organisational and project management skills are essential, along with a good understanding of food safety standards and retailer requirements.
In return, our client offers a collaborative working environment, strong career development opportunities, and the chance to be part of a team focused on delivering high-quality, innovative products.
