Got a passion for food innovation and love seeing your ideas land on shelf? We're on the hunt for a Senior NPD Technologist to join a fast-moving, creative NPD team based in Leeds.

This is your chance to take real ownership of exciting new product development, driving concepts from first idea through to launch across both retailer and own-brand ranges. You'll be right at the heart of the action, developing standout recipes, improving existing products. The position is 4 days on site and 1 day WFH.

You'll get stuck into everything from kitchen trials and supplier innovation to artwork sign-off, nutritional and shelf-life testing, customer samples and retailer briefs. Alongside the hands-on work, you'll step up as a senior voice in the team, mentoring a Junior NPD Technologist, sharing your know-how and deputising for the NPD Manager when needed.

If you thrive in a busy food manufacturing environment, love collaborating and enjoy turning trends and briefs into brilliant products consumers want to buy, this could be the role for you.
