We're hiring for a full-time Product Development Manager role in South London. We require a deep understanding of the UK demographic and specifically the London food scene. Overseas applicants will not be considered.
At Good Food Studio, we help ambitious food businesses create products and menus that rock the world. Our projects span hospitality, foodservice, retail, and manufacturing, partnering with everyone from ambitious start-ups to nationally recognised brands.
We're looking for a Product Development Manager to join our growing team and play a key role in shaping the next chapter of the studio. This isn't a traditional product development role. We're looking for someone who can combine creativity, technical expertise, and commercial thinking to lead projects from the very first client conversation through to successful launch.
You will:
- Lead end-to-end product development across hospitality, retail, and big corporate food clients.
- Develop innovative food products, menus, and concepts.
- Manage recipe development, technical documentation, and factory trials.
- Lead projects, budgets, and timelines across multiple live clients.
- Lead client tastings, workshops, and presentations.
- Support new client enquiries, help shape proposals, and contribute to winning exciting new projects.
- Mentor our development team while continually raising technical standards.
Requirements:
- Strong product development experience.
- Commercial awareness and project ownership.
- Experience leading projects and developing others.
- Knowledge of food trends, flavours, and great taste buds.
Experience in hospitality and food service at any level is a big bonus. Consultancy experience would be a bonus, but it's not essential.
We care deeply about quality, and attention to detail is our religion. You'll have genuine ownership from day one, working directly with founders, clients, and manufacturers on projects that make a real impact. If you're looking for somewhere you can help shape the company and contribute to gold standard innovation – not just deliver someone else's process – you'll fit right in!
Send us your CV together with a short introduction telling us why you'd be a great fit for one of the UK's most exciting food innovation consultancies.
