This role is for process‑led NPD people, not concept designers.

If you’re strongest when:

• You’re in the factory
• Trials are running
• And people are pulling you in different directions

…you’ll recognise this role instantly.

You’ll take customer‑approved concepts and own everything from factory trial to launch across multiple manufacturing sites.

That includes:

• Running and coordinating factory trials
• Managing critical paths (and adapting when they move)
• Working closely with Technical, Operations and central NPD
• Leading a small process NPD team
• Being the main site contact for customers

• Strong process / scale‑up experience in a large factory
• Confidence managing stakeholders and standing your ground

• Secure, well‑invested food business
• Big NPD function with clear progression
• A role where things actually get launched

If you like NPD that’s practical, pressured, and rewarding - this one’s worth a look.
