Food Scientist / Senior R&D Food Scientist – Bakery & Snacks

Salary: £50,000–£70,000, depending on experience
Type: Permanent, full-time, on site

Quorum Search Partners has partnered with an ambitious and growing food manufacturer that is investing heavily in innovation.

A new, state-of-the-art R&D laboratory and test bakery is being developed, creating an excellent opportunity for a hands-on Food Scientist to join at an exciting stage of the company’s growth.

This role can suit an experienced Food Scientist, Senior Food Scientist or Lead-level Product Developer with strong bakery, formulation and factory-trial experience.

The opportunity

You will develop and commercialise innovative gluten-free bakery and snacking products, taking projects from early concept through to launch.

Working closely with Innovation, Operations, Quality, Supply Chain, Procurement and Marketing, you will help create products that deliver great taste, texture, nutritional value and commercial performance.

Key responsibilities

  • Develop new gluten-free bakery and snack products from concept to launch
  • Design, formulate and optimise recipes to meet quality, nutritional and cost targets
  • Lead ingredient evaluations, laboratory work and factory trials
  • Improve dough, baking and processing systems to enhance texture, shelf life and manufacturing robustness
  • Support scale-up, troubleshooting and commercialisation projects
  • Explore new ingredients and technologies across starches, fibres, proteins, enzymes, hydrocolloids and fermentation
  • Help establish and continuously improve the new development laboratory and test bakery
  • Support sensory evaluation, consumer testing and competitor benchmarking
  • Work closely with production, quality and wider cross-functional teams

About you

You will ideally have:

  • A degree in Food Science, Food Technology, Food Innovation, Nutrition or a related discipline
  • At least five years’ experience in food product development
  • Experience within bakery, gluten free, snacks or cereal-based products
  • Strong recipe formulation and ingredient-functionality knowledge
  • Experience of factory trials, scale-up and commercial launch
  • A practical understanding of dough and baking systems

Experience of frozen dough, ambient bakery, baked snacks, sensory science or international manufacturing partners would also be an advantage.

Why consider this role?

This is a rare chance to play a central role in building a new R&D capability within an ambitious food business. You will have real scope to shape product development practices, work on meaningful innovation and grow with the function as it develops.

The role is fully site based, Monday to Friday. Relocation or accommodation support may be considered for the right person.
