This role is for process-led NPD people, not concept designers.
If you’re strongest when:
- You’re in the factory
- Trials are running
- Launch dates matter
- And people are pulling you in different directions
…you’ll recognise this role instantly.
The job
You’ll take customer-approved concepts and own everything from factory trial to launch across multiple manufacturing sites.
That includes:
- Running and coordinating factory trials
- Managing critical paths (and adapting when they move)
- Working closely with Technical, Operations and central NPD
- Leading a small process NPD team
- Being the main site contact for customers
What you’ll need
- Strong process / scale-up experience in a large factory
- Confidence managing stakeholders and standing your ground
- Comfortable working site-based
Why consider it
- Salary: £50k
- Secure, well-invested food business
- Big NPD function with clear progression
- A role where things actually get launched
If you like NPD that’s practical, pressured, and rewarding - this one’s worth a look.
