Job Description

Reporting into the founding leadership, the Head of NPD Sourcing and Supply Chain is owning end‑to‑end new product development, from concept to shelf. This is a hands‑on product builder role, not a formulation, strategy or program‑only position.

The role is:

Translating consumer insights into scalable, market‑ready products
Working closely with external formulators to arrive at final product decisions
Identifying, onboarding and managing contract manufacturers

Driving rapid iteration cycles (2-4 weeks), including batch trials, failures and improvements
Partnering with design and marketing to ensure strong product‑market fit
Owning product costing, margins and scale‑readiness
Building and improving NPD processes as the organisation scales

This Role is NOT

a pure R&D or lab‑only role
a project management role
a Strategy‑Only role

This is a hands‑on, builder‑led NPD ownership role.

The Successful Applicant

High‑ownership operator who has shipped real physical products end‑to‑end in fast‑paced environments.

6-10 years of experience in FMCG, nutraceuticals, food or consumer health
Proven track record of launching products from 0 to 1 and beyond
Strong experience working with contract manufacturers and suppliers
Ability to balance consumer experience, feasibility and cost
High execution bias with comfort in early‑stage, unstructured setups

Competitive compensation aligned with early‑stage growth potential
