My client is a true category pioneer backed by a major international food group, giving you the stability of a big business alongside the creative freedom of a brand that thrives on thinking differently.

You'll own projects from concept to launch using stage gate methodology, turning consumer insight and sensory research into products that delight. With a little more experience under your belt you'll also act as a go-to expert within the team, sharing knowledge and supporting others to grow.
You will hold a degree in Food Science, Nutrition or a related subject and bring solid hands-on experience in an FMCG product development role, ideally with a track record of taking products from kitchen to shelf.
