NPD Manager - Food Manufacturing
NPD Manager – Food Manufacturing
Location: Greater London / Hertfordshire area
Salary: £45,000 – £55,000 + benefits
We’re working with a well-established food manufacturer, specialising in premium meat products supplied to major retailers, foodservice, and wholesale customers. This is a small but ambitious company where your work will have real visibility and impact.
The Opportunity
- Take full ownership of the NPD process, from idea to launch.
- Lead a capable, hands-on team and make your mark on how NPD is run.
- Work closely with customers – shaping products to suit their needs and building long-term relationships.
- Collaborate across the business to deliver successful product launches.
- Enjoy the freedom of a smaller company environment: more autonomy, quicker decisions, and the chance to see the results of your work straight away.
About You
We’re looking for someone with:
- A background in food manufacturing (meat experience a bonus).
- Experience managing the NPD process and projects from concept to launch.
- The ability to lead a team while still being involved in the day-to-day detail.
- Creativity and passion for food development, backed up by a practical and organised approach.
- A valid driving licence, as occasional travel may be required.
Why Apply?
This isn’t a role buried in layers of hierarchy – you’ll have visibility across the whole business, influence in key decisions, and the chance to develop your own team. It’s a place where good ideas get heard and acted on quickly.
