We're working with an ambitious and growing business, with a range of innovative products and a science–led approach.

This is a brand–new role, giving you the chance to really take ownership. You'll lead on product development and quality, from the first sketch of an idea through to launch day and beyond.

• Driving product development projects from concept to launch
• Enhancing existing products and ensuring they meet high performance standards
• Managing supplier relationships and contracts, plus leading on testing and compliance

• Running quality control processes and responding to any product concerns
• Using data, insight, and a little bit of gut instinct to guide improvements
• Looking at packaging innovation, especially in terms of sustainability and efficiency

What we're looking for:

• Previous experience in a product or quality–focused role, ideally in food, drink, or supplements
• Strong understanding of labelling laws and allergen regulations
• Confident project manager who can juggle multiple tasks with ease
• Excellent communicator who can work with teams across the globe
• Analytical mindset, with a creative streak when it comes to solving problems
• A natural curiosity for product trends and what's happening in the market
• Experience in a fast–paced, entrepreneurial or e–commerce environment would be a bonus

What's on offer:

• A supportive and passionate team that values innovation and collaboration
• Plenty of autonomy and room to grow within a fast–scaling business
• All the product perks you'd expect, and then some
• A genuine opportunity to help shape the direction of a brand on the rise
