The role

In this pivotal role, you will lead the charge across our NPD pipeline initiatives, rallying cross-functional teams toward a common goal: turning innovative ideas into market-ready products that challenge the status quo.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive the NPD process from concept through to commercialisation.
• Lead multiple project workstreams, ensuring they are in line with strategic objectives, and particularly focusing on the development of innovative food and beverage products.
• Take ownership of technical & retail workstreams, driving process innovation, technology integration, and vendor evaluations to deliver cutting-edge product solutions.
• Acknowledge the financial aspects of the NPD portfolio, ensuring projects are delivered within budget and scope, and provide a return on investment.
• Identify and manage risks across the project portfolio, implementing effective mitigation strategies to safeguard project outcomes.
• Ensure critical issues, conflicts, and dependencies across the NPD portfolio are resolved, maintaining clear communication channels with all stakeholders.
