Not every NPD role is worth moving for.
Some are the same job, just with a different logo on the building.
This isn't one of those.
If you're the sort of person who loves taking an idea scribbled on a whiteboard and turning it into a product sitting on supermarket shelves, keep reading.
You'll be joining a business that genuinely values innovation.
New ideas aren't buried under endless meetings or slowed down by layers of approval.
If you've got a great concept backed by solid thinking, you'll have the opportunity to make it happen.
You'll own the journey from concept through to launch, leading multiple development projects while working alongside commercial, technical and operational teams to bring products to life.
No two days will look the same, and that's exactly how you'll like it.
You'll also spend time in front of customers, presenting ideas, discussing developments and building relationships with some of the UK's biggest retailers.
So if you enjoy the buzz of seeing your work come together and influencing key stakeholders, you'll feel right at home.
What we're looking for
We're after someone who's already made their mark in NPD within food manufacturing or a similar FMCG environment.
You'll know how to juggle multiple projects without dropping the ball, understand what it takes to deliver successful product launches, and be just as comfortable talking to customers as you are working with factory teams.
Most importantly, you'll bring curiosity, commercial awareness and a genuine passion for creating products that people actually want to buy.
If you're looking for a role where your ideas will be listened to, your experience valued, and your work will have a visible impact, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.
