Product Development Manager (Food Manufacturing / Innovation Leadership)

Lead. Innovate. Build Products That Actually Hit the Market.

• Drive new product innovation AND improvement of existing products
  
• Partner with leadership to shape product strategy and execution
  
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (operations, QA, marketing, co-manufacturers)
  
• Conduct and support consumer research + product testing
  
• Troubleshoot, optimize, and refine processes for scalability and efficiency
  

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• 7+ years of product development experience in food manufacturing
  
• Proven track record of launching and commercializing products
  
• Strong background in process development, testing, and optimization
  
• Experience working with meat products (kosher experience is a PLUS)
  
• Ability to lead projects at a commercial/production scale
  
• Comfortable managing multiple projects at once without missing deadlines
  

Must-Have Skills

• Strong analytical + problem-solving mindset
  
• Excellent project management and organization
  
• Ability to work independently AND lead cross-functional teams
  
• Deep understanding of food safety, QA, and regulatory standards
