Curious by nature? Passionate about innovation? Love seeing your ideas become products on shelf?

We're partnering with an exciting and fast-growing business operating within the nutrition, health and wellness space, looking to appoint two NPD Technologists to shape their product development team.

You'll have exposure to the full development process across a diverse and innovative product portfolio, including:

• Nutritional supplements
• Functional beverages, syrups and liquid formulations
• Wellness and performance products
• New ingredient technologies
• Customer-led innovation projects

• Experience within food, nutrition, ingredients, supplements or a consumer goods environment
• A genuine passion for product innovation and development
• Strong problem-solving and technical skills
• The ability to manage multiple projects and priorities simultaneously
• A commercial mindset alongside technical expertise
• Most importantly, you'll be someone who is naturally inquisitive and constantly looking for ways to improve products, processes and consumer experiences.

Why Apply?

• End-to-end involvement in the NPD lifecycle
• A highly collaborative and supportive team environment
• Exposure to innovative ingredients and emerging market trends
• Opportunities for professional development and progression
• The chance to make a genuine impact on products sold to health-conscious consumers worldwide

If you're excited by innovation, ingredients and seeing concepts turn into commercial success, we'd love to hear from you!
