Summary
Food Developer
£34k - £44k plus Package
Lancashire
Love food? Obsessed with trends?
This is your chance to turn creativity into tasty premium products with serious consumer reach.
This isn’t product development for a value brand that thinks “premium” just means “put it in a black tray.”
You’ll be developing innovative products for the most respected names on the high street. The kind of products people actually look forward to eating.
Here’s What You’ll Actually Be Doing:
Coming up with great ideas, mocking them up, and convincing people to back them
Working directly with UK & EU suppliers to develop new products (and taste-testing a lot of them)
Presenting new concepts to customers in a way that actually gets them excited
Running your own customer accounts with confidence
Spotting trends before they go mainstream and working them into your NPD pipeline
Travelling occasionally – not enough to ruin your life, just enough to feel like you’re in demand
This company?
Small enough that you’ll be in the room where things happen. Big enough that your products will be reaching a massive market of consumers and mass media too.
You’ll work alongside a switched-on team of technical, packaging and commercial folk – plus directly with customers.
About You
You’ve got at least a couple of years’ experience under your belt in food product development
You’ve got some experience working for or with retailers
You’ve got a driving licence and your own car (you’ll be out and about)
You know your way around social media
You can hold a room, host a meeting, or pitch a product without needing a script
You’ve got just enough creative energy to be dangerous – but still know how to fill out a spec sheet
What’s In It for You:
A genuinely collaborative team creating first-to-market high profile products
A chance to build your career without vanishing into a 12-layer hierarchy
A bonus scheme that actually pays out
Apply if you’re ready to shape the next best-seller.
Or get in touch if you want more info on the tasty work you’ll be doing
Visa sponsorship is not available for this position. You’ll need the permanent right to work in the UK
