I'm recruiting on behalf of an ambitious food & beverage business that's investing in innovation and looking for someone who's genuinely obsessed with drinks, flavour and what's happening next. This isn't a lab-based NPD role. It's not sitting behind a desk all day either.

One day you could be experimenting with new flavour combinations. The next you'll be presenting concepts to customers, creating seasonal drinks, working with the marketing team on social content or supporting the sales team with new ideas.

What you'll be doing - Creating exciting hot and cold drinks, frappes, desserts and seasonal concepts. - Identifying emerging food, beverage and lifestyle trends before they hit the mainstream. - Turning trends into commercially viable drinks that customers can actually serve. - Supporting customer presentations, menu development and innovation sessions. - Working closely with marketing, sales and technical teams to bring new ideas to life. - Creating drinks that not only taste great but look incredible and generate engagement online. - Helping customers stay one step ahead of the competition. We'd love to hear from you if - You're genuinely passionate about drinks, flavour and innovation. - You have experience creating drinks or menus within coffee, hospitality, foodservice or beverages. - You naturally keep up with trends and understand why they're becoming popular. - You're creative but also commercially minded. - You're confident presenting ideas and enjoy working with people. - You're looking for a role where you can build something and make it your own. Ideal backgrounds - Development Barista - Beverage Developer - Coffee Trainer - Mixologist - Menu Development - Hospitality Innovation - Food & Beverage Most importantly, we're looking for curiosity, creativity and someone who brings energy to everything they do.
