Product Developer – Food Cheshire/North Wales £40,000 - £45,000 Site-based You know when you buy something from a supermarket and it looks great on the box but disappoints on the plate? Your job here is to stop that from happening. This role is about taking food ideas from “sketch on a napkin” to “on the shelf and flying into people’s trolleys.” That means working with chefs, suppliers, buyers and technical folk to make sure the products not only taste good – but taste consistently good. You’ll be part of a busy operation where the pace is quick. Some days you’ll be running benchmarking sessions, pulling apart competitor products and deciding what “good” should look like. Other days you’ll be in the kitchen, tweaking recipes, giving feedback, and making sure suppliers get it right. You’ll also be prepping samples for gate meetings, range reviews and showcases – basically making sure what’s in front of stakeholders is top drawer. This is not a role for someone who dithers. You’ll need to switch gears quickly, juggle multiple projects at once, and stay calm under pressure. The deadlines aren’t suggestions – they’re real, and the pace can be relentless. But if you thrive in an environment where new ideas are constantly flying, and you get a kick out of spotting food trends before everyone else, this will suit you. What you’ll need: • Food development experience in retail, manufacturing or FMCG, • Culinary or food prep skills – you’ll be hands-on in the kitchen, • The ability to prioritise, pivot and keep up when things change fast, • A sharp eye for detail, and the confidence to give suppliers clear feedback, • Curiosity about food trends and the confidence to share ideas In return, you’ll get to shape the next wave of products millions of people will eat every week. You’ll work with talented chefs and commercial teams, in an environment that values speed, innovation and collaboration. Interested? Apply below.

In return, we offer a competitive salary, 27 days holidays rising to 32 days, a friendly and supportive work environment, comprehensive training and development opportunities, and the chance to work with like-minded professionals in the field of education recruitment. We'll provide the environment,
