The posting

Are you a hands-on food technologist with a passion for flavour? We are recruiting on behalf of a well-established manufacturer of food flavourings and seasonings, seeking a technically strong Product Development professional to join their team.

This is a formulation-focused role — not QA or QC. Only candidates with direct product development experience in flavour or seasoning environments will be considered.

Requirements

  • Diploma or Degree in Food Technology, Food Science, or a related discipline
  • 2–5 years' hands-on experience in flavour or seasoning product development (non-negotiable)
  • Proven ability to build and troubleshoot flavour profiles independently
  • Background in a flavour house, seasoning manufacturer, or similar production environment
  • Strong sensory and olfactory skills
  • Solid working knowledge of food and flavour regulatory requirements
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and Word
  • Good communication skills and the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously

What You'll Do

  • Develop new flavour and seasoning systems from scratch, based on customer briefs and market trends
  • Reformulate and improve existing products to enhance performance or meet new requirements
  • Create and adapt application formulations for both sweet and savoury categories
  • Prepare lab-scale samples and support scale-up to production
  • Participate in sensory evaluations and lead internal tasting panels
  • Source, assess, and approve new raw materials and ingredients
  • Produce and maintain product specs, formulation records, and processing documentation
  • Work closely with the sales team and clients to translate briefs into viable technical solutions
  • Ensure all formulations meet relevant food safety and regulatory standards

Please note: If you have not received a response within two weeks of applying, kindly consider your application unsuccessful. Only applicants with direct flavour development experience will be contacted.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
