This is a senior level position and we are looking for someone who has experience within the food manufacturing industry at a similar level as well as managing a team of development chefs.

Working as key member of the development team you will be responsible for all products developed from concept development through to product launch.

The successful Senior Development Chef will be expected to receive the product brief from the Commercial team or directly from the customer, and once the brief has been approved internally, you will be responsible for the creative development aspect of the project: ideation / menu creation, concept development, kitchen recipe creation, raw material sourcing and presentation to customers. Once approved, it is expected that you attend the factory trials to oversee the production of the products to aid with its translation into the factory environment, and also be present for the product launch.
