If you enjoy seeing products go from idea → trial → supermarket shelf, this one's worth a look. I'm working with a large manufacturer looking to strengthen their Process Development team. This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys being in the factory, running trials, solving problems and making sure products actually work at scale… not just in the test kitchen when everyone's pretending the process is “straightforward”.
What you'll be doing:
- Taking products from concept through to launch
- Scaling products from test bakery to full production
- Running factory trials alongside Operations, Process and Technical teams
- Sourcing new raw materials and ingredients
- Managing projects across key retail accounts including Morrisons and Asda
- Supporting customer submissions when needed
- Conducting store visits and benchmarking competitor products
- Spotting opportunities for innovation and quality improvements
What they're looking for:
- Experience within food manufacturing
- Ideally recent bakery experience
- Someone who can manage projects independently
- Organised, proactive and comfortable working cross-functionally
- Food related qualification ideal, but not essential
Why consider it?
- Proper end-to-end NPD exposure
- Lots of factory and trial involvement
- Exposure to major retail customers
- Stable, growing manufacturer
- Clear opportunity to develop your career in Process/NPD
If you're happy where you are but open to hearing about a solid bakery process role, it's worth a conversation.
