NPD Process Manager

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

If you’re strongest when:

You’re in the factory
Trials are running
Launch dates matter
And people are pulling you in different directions

…you’ll recognise this role instantly.

The job

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

What you’ll need

Strong process / scale-up experience in a large factory
Confidence managing stakeholders and standing your ground
Comfortable working site-based

Why consider it

Salary: £50k
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
