  • Ensure all development activity is completed in line with NPD Procedures and Processes and information is correctly and accurately recorded.
  • Work in conjunction with technical & operations to organise and execute production trials and manage subsequent shelf-life assessments, organoleptic testing, cooking instruction verification, and nutritional sample analysis.
  • Occasional weekend working will be required to complete Organoleptic Assessments.
  • Use production trials to update information to validate the product costing.
  • Liaise with the site-based Operations and Technical teams to plan the Product launch.
  • Manage launches to ensure the product complies with the specification and meets the agreed quality parameters.

What we are looking for:
