Job Description
Want to be at the heart of delivering new delicious products from initial concept through to full-scale production?
This is a pivotal position driving innovation across branded, own-label and foodservice ranges. Acting as the vital link between the development kitchen and the factory floor, you will lead product and packaging development projects, working cross-functionally to ensure seamless launches while upholding the highest standards of food safety, quality and technical compliance.
You will be degree-qualified in Food Science or a related discipline, with a minimum of two years' experience within FMCG product development or process technology. Strong hands-on experience of factory trials, gated development processes and customer-facing projects is essential. We are looking for an organised, confident communicator who thrives in a fast-paced manufacturing environment and is comfortable collaborating across multiple functions. Experience within chilled foods would be highly advantageous.
In return, the business offers a competitive benefits package including private health insurance, an enhanced pension scheme and generous holiday entitlement, with an additional day purchasing scheme.
Please note: unfortunately, sponsorship is not available for this role.
This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing and ambitious business where you will have genuine influence over the innovation pipeline and play a key role in the successful launch of new products.
