NPD Manager (Hair and Beauty) 

Location: Hybrid – ideally based within reach of the North East (Stockton-on-Tees HQ), though we will consider candidates further afield with regular travel to site


Salary: £55,000 – £65,000 doe

IMPACT EVOLVE are supporting Additional Lengths, a UK leader in premium hair extensions and professional haircare, on the appointment of an NPD Manager. With significant recent growth, a passionate founder and an exciting roadmap ahead, this is a brand entering its next phase of scale — and looking for someone who can help shape the future of its product portfolio.

The Opportunity

This isn't stepping into a neat, established NPD function, this is about building, structuring and elevating how products are developed in a fast-moving, growth-focused environment. You'll own the full journey from concept to launch: formulation, packaging, compliance, supplier management, timelines and performance analysis. Alongside core hair extension and aftercare innovation, you'll also help shape complementary product ranges including tools, accessories, wet products and new category opportunities.

You'll be the person who brings clarity and organisation across multiple teams operations, marketing, commercial and suppliers, even when plans shift or curveballs land. It needs someone who can hold a plan but flex with confidence; someone calm, structured and credible who can influence in the right way. 

We're Looking For

A blend of creativity, logic and commercial instinct, someone strong, self-assured and resilient, without being abrasive.

You'll thrive here if you:

  • Have NPD or commercialisation experience within hair, beauty, cosmetics or premium consumer goods

  • Understand how to build products for professional or salon led environments

  • Have led complex, multi-stakeholder projects end-to-end

  • Enjoy creating order, but don't fall apart when plans inevitably change

  • Can influence busy teams and build alignment

  • Have managed suppliers, negotiated costs and upheld quality

  • Are energised by helping build a modern, scalable NPD function from the ground up

Why This Role?

Because this is a rare opportunity to shape a product portfolio with real reach and relevance. You'll work closely with senior leaders — including the founder — in a business that values innovation, moves quickly and actually brings ideas to life.

What's on Offer

You'll join a business that invests in its people and rewards contribution with a strong package: a competitive salary, hybrid working with regular HQ time, 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays, private health cover, a healthcare cash plan, enhanced pension, generous staff discount, a company-wide bonus scheme, enhanced family leave and sick pay, an employee assistance programme and paid volunteering days — all within a collaborative, creative, high-growth environment where you can do your best work.

At IMPACT EVOLVE and within our partner organisations, we're committed to building inclusive, equitable environments where people can thrive. If you need adjustments at any stage or want to talk confidentially about how we can support your application, we're here to help.
