Reports to: Head of Culinary and Process Development

Are you the organised powerhouse behind every successful product launch? We’re looking for an NPD Systems Admin Manager to join our fast-paced innovation team and help turn culinary ideas into commercially viable products.

What You’ll Be Doing:

You’ll be the go-to person linking our NPD, Technical, and Operations teams — making sure every new and evolving product is accurately documented, costed, and ready to fly off the production line. From recipes to raw materials to packaging specs, your attention to detail keeps the whole launch process running like clockwork.

You’ll Own:

• Capturing and managing detailed recipe info for seamless handovers
• Spotting and solving potential production challenges before they hit the line
• Managing new raw materials and packaging spec requirements
• Coordinating cross-functional input to ensure on-time, spec-perfect launches
• Keeping development records watertight so trials and specs are right first time

What You’ll Bring:

• 2–3 years' experience in development, project management or process in the Food Manufacturing Industry
• A sharp eye for detail and strong admin skills (Excel is your second language)
• Laser focus on quality, timelines, and collaboration
• Proactive mindset with the confidence to flag issues and drive solutions

This is your chance to play a pivotal role in shaping the products of tomorrow — from concept to launch, and everything in between.
