Lead recipe development across brands, chair a knowledge-sharing committee and manage teams while shaping menus, costs and feedback-led improvements.
About this role
The development-lead candidate works in a team reporting directly to the president, creating food products and services intended to become future business pillars. The role defines requirements from customer interviews and data, takes ideas through prototypes and commercialization, then evaluates product-market fit and improvements after launch. It combines customer experience with profitability and partner collaboration.
Projects span consumer and business markets, with examples including Deli Oisix prepared meals and Genki Gohan small-portion, high-nutrition meals for senior facilities. Applicants need customer-led product or service planning and launch experience, specified as three to five years or more; practical marketing-led requirements definition, execution and improvement; and project management involving diverse internal and external stakeholders. The work requires action under uncertainty and commitment to challenging goals.
