The Company

Are you a budding food graduate brimming with passion and looking to gain experience with a highly innovative chilled food and frozen food manufacturer?

With a goal to delight customers and consumers, this continually growing food business works closely with the major retailers and is now seeking a Product Developer to join their dedicated team.

Please note this role requires a full UK driving licence.

The Role

This is an excellent opportunity for a Product Developer to join a vibrant business where you’ll work closely with the Development Chef and Process teams on key projects, contributing to the development of new concepts and updating existing products in line with customer briefs.

This multifaceted role will involve working closely with suppliers, building strong rapport with key contacts and managing resources to ensure the consistently flawless creation of product ranges. You will ensure the highest quality at all stages of the process, calculating nutritional data and product feasibility, as well as being mindful of costings and technical requirements. You'll enjoy the challenge of keeping one step ahead of your competitors, researching seasonal food trends and undertaking competitor analysis whilst benchmarking in order to bring a high level of innovation to fast-moving categories.

The Person

We are seeking an ambitious and creative Product Developer looking for a dynamic and fast-paced role within the challenging world of the chilled food arena.

We’re looking for a graduate with a food science or related degree, who also possesses an exceptional understanding of food trends, ingredients, and seasonality. A bonus will be if you’ve previously gained exposure to key aspects of the NPD process within a food manufacturing environment.

You must have excellent communication and organisation skills coupled with the ability and enthusiasm to learn quickly and get started on new projects. You’ll also have a real passion for food, be happy to get hands-on in the development kitchen, and thrive on the hustle and bustle of a busy environment.
