💰 $6,000 – $8,000 | 📍 Buona Vista | 🕘 Mon–Fri, 9AM–6PM

We’re looking for an experienced Food Research & Development Manager / Assistant Manager who doesn’t just want to develop another product — but wants to create what’s next in food, nutrition, and wellness.

🧪 From Lab Concept → Commercial Product

You will own and lead innovation projects across the full R&D journey:

IDEA 💡 → RECIPE 🧑‍🔬 → PROTOTYPE 🔬 → SCALE-UP 🏭 → COMMERCIALISATION 📈

You will:

• Lead and mentor a team of food technologists and junior researchers.
• Develop new and innovative food concepts driven by consumer needs, health, nutrition, and industry trends.
• Lead product development across bakery, confectionery, dairy, and culinary applications.
• Explore emerging concepts such as plant-based proteins, reduced-sugar, gluten-free, healthier formulations, and future food solutions.
• Take products from laboratory formulation through technology transfer and production scale-up.
• Lead multiple food innovation projects from concept, planning, development, testing, and commercialisation.
• Work closely with scientists, researchers, and industry partners to provide technical expertise.
• Leverage your knowledge of flour, oils & fats, proteins, and other food ingredients to solve formulation and product challenges.
• Identify emerging food technologies and trends and translate them into commercially viable opportunities.
• Contribute to strategic R&D direction and help strengthen the organisation’s food technology capabilities.
• Coach and develop researchers while building a culture of innovation and technical excellence.

🌱 We’re Looking for a Food Innovator, Not Just an R&D Manager

You could be a great fit if you have:

• A Bachelor’s Degree in Food Science, Food Technology, Nutrition, or a related field.
• 5–7 years of relevant food industry/R&D experience.
• At least 5 years in an R&D supervisory, leadership, or equivalent role.
• Strong experience taking products from conceptualization → lab development → scale-up → commercialisation.
• Hands-on experience across bakery, confectionery, dairy, and/or culinary applications.
• A strong understanding of ingredient functionality and applications.
• Experience leading cross-functional or cross-disciplinary R&D teams/projects.
• A creative mindset with the ability to turn consumer and industry trends into new product opportunities.
• Strong commercial awareness — you understand that a great product must be technically feasible AND commercially viable.
• The confidence to make science-based technical decisions and influence stakeholders.
• Strong leadership, communication, project management, and problem-solving skills.
