Zest is exclusively partnering with a growing, well-established food manufacturer in London to find a Senior NPD Technologist to take real ownership of their NPD pipeline.
This is a project management role at heart: you'll be running products from initial concept through to factory launch, pulling together technical, commercial, operations, purchasing, production and quality teams and keeping everyone moving toward the same deadline.
You'll be the one people come to for a project update, the one chasing progress when something's stalled, and the one in the room for every factory trial and first production making sure it goes the way it's meant to.
You'll manage customer samples end to end, keep specifications and product data current across the systems that need them, and give artwork a final look before it goes to print.
When something looks like it could become a risk, technical, commercial or otherwise, you'll flag it early and help sort it before it becomes a bigger problem.
And as you get settled, you'll start bringing junior NPD colleagues along with you too.
You'll bring proven experience running NPD projects or products through development, strong organisational and coordination skills, the confidence to manage multiple stakeholders at once and a genuine interest in food and how it gets made.
Factory experience is a must.
