Product Development Jobs

The New Product Development discipline is key to any business, setting the innovation strategy, delivering uniqueness of product offer and competitive advantage.

Equally, the function will drive value benefit through effective delivery of cost improvements.

Individuals in the function, at all levels, need to have real foodie credentials, being passionate and having a view on food in every guise.
There is a need for creative thought, but also an ability to assimilate facts and trends to deliver practical, costs effective product solutions.
There surely can be no better feeling than seeing a product you have developed appearing on the shelf of Marks & Spencer, Tesco, Sainsbury, Asda, Morrison Co-op or behind the counter of McDonald's, KFC, Pizza Hut Pizza Express or etc.

NPD or New Product Development is increasing looking at process improvements to aid cost reduction and improve product quality. Process management is frequently the responsibility of engineering, but more and more often there is a need to secure Process Development NPD specialists.

NPD or New Product Development or Innovation is and should always be the bedrock of any organisation. However during the recession NPD became far more focused on cost reduction and value engineering activity rather than on true blue sky activity. This trend looks likely to be reversed as we move into the next decade. Many of our clients started to ramp up their NPD teams as early as the first quarter of 2010 to be ready for consumer demand for difference.
