Together, we bring delicious food to life. Our products cover every meal occasion from breakfast through to dinner and dessert, with lunch and snacking in between.

In FY25, our shared passion helped us achieve combined revenues of approximately £4bn. Our extensive direct to store (DTS) network, with 17 depots across the UK, allows us to deliver fresh and frozen food both our own and from trusted partners to thousands of stores every day, ensuring consumers enjoy the very best, whenever and wherever they shop.

We have an excellent opportunity for a Product Development Controller to join our innovation team based out of either London Park Royal. This role will lead the team across deli, side of plate, quiche and dips for our Tesco business.

Utilise food trends and insights to shape product concepts, working in collaboration with the marketing and portfolio teams.
Set high standards for the Product Development team, ensuring excellence in food quality, customer communication, and operational processes.
Take responsibility for margin delivery by overseeing accurate product costing from concept to implementation, ensuring target costs are met or exceeded.
Provide strong leadership, ensuring your team is safe, engaged, and fully equipped to deliver outstanding results, with the right training and resources.
Ensure full compliance with Product Development procedures and policies, guaranteeing that products are developed correctly from the outset.

What We're Looking For:

Proven track record of delivering high-quality, sustainable commercial products.
Strong leadership and people management skills, with the ability to plan workloads effectively and focus teams to meet objectives.
In-depth knowledge of food and customer needs, along with the ability to engage and build strong relationships with clients.
Passion for great food, with a deep understanding of current and emerging trends in the food industry.
Excellent organisational skills to ensure smooth project execution and team alignment.

We’re proud to be recognised in the Gender Equity Measure Top 100 for our commitment to gender equality.
