THE OPPORTUNITY

We’re looking for a talented and driven Product Development Manager to lead end-to-end product development across branded and own-label categories.

This is a pivotal role where you’ll take ownership of innovation and development projects — working cross-functionally and directly with customers to bring high-quality, commercially successful products to market.

Influence and shape customer briefs through insight and ideas

Develop & Feasibility

Refine products to meet taste, quality, technical and commercial requirements
Lead or support customer presentations and submissions
Manage development cycles to ensure feasibility and alignment to brief
Ensure accurate costings in collaboration with Finance and Commercial teams
Coordinate cross-functional input to deliver robust product solutions

Verify & Launch

Support scale-up from kitchen to factory, ensuring product integrity is maintained
Attend factory trials and validate product quality and performance
Ensure packaging, specifications and artwork meet required standards
Support launch readiness and cross-functional delivery of product launches

Review & Improve

Lead and contribute to post-launch reviews
Monitor product performance, quality and commercial success
Drive continuous improvement and maintain high product standards

Desirable:
