  • Supplier Collaboration: Working with suppliers is a key part of this role, involving sourcing new raw materials and processes. You'll also need to handle paperwork related to these supplier interactions.
  • Recipe Formulation: You'll be responsible for formulating recipes and preparing product samples to meet the specified briefs. This involves creativity and culinary expertise.
  • Factory Trials: Coordinating and possibly attending factory trials to ensure that production processes are effective and meet quality standards.

  • Benchmarking and Tasting Sessions: Running benchmarking and tasting sessions to evaluate product quality and create action plans to address any issues.
  • Post-Launch Reviews: Attending post-launch reviews to assess how products are performing in the market and making necessary adjustments.


There are several key qualifications and attributes that are essential for success in this role at site. We're looking for someone with a genuine passion for the meat industry and a dedication to delivering high-quality meat products to our customers is fundamental. You will also have:


  • Exceptional Communication Skills: You should possess the ability to inspire and engage with stakeholders at all levels and across various functions within the organisation.
  • Strong Project Management Experience: Demonstrated experience in New Product Development (NPD) is crucial for this role. You should have a track record of successfully managing NPD projects, from concept to launch.
  • Relationship Building Skills: Building and maintaining strong relationships with colleagues, suppliers, and other stakeholders is a vital part of this role. Your ability to connect with and influence others will be important.
  • Enthusiasm and Drive: A proactive and results-oriented mind-set is necessary to drive projects forward and deliver on objectives.
  • Organisational Skills: Strong organisational skills are essential for managing complex projects with multiple tasks and deadlines. Prioritisation is key to ensuring that all aspects of the product development process run smoothly.


In return for your hard work we will offer you:


  • Six weeks holiday (including bank holidays)
  • 15% discount in our stores available from the day you join us
  • Additional 10% discount card for a friend or family member
  • Career progression and development opportunities
