We're 700+ people across Prague, Brno and London, already selling in 12+ markets across Europe, the UK, the US and beyond.
We're on a mission to change how people think about food, and we're growing fast to do it - expanding internationally and building a company where people have a real say in what we make and how we make it, not just a seat at the table.
You own Vilgain's pantry food category - the products people keep in their kitchen cupboard and use every day: nut butters and spreads, porridges and breakfast, baking and pancake mixes, syrups and sauces, and similar shelf-stable food.
You decide what we launch, what we improve and what we stop. You take a product from idea to shelf — and stay with it after launch until it performs.
What will you do?Category ownership: Know the pantry range inside out - sales, margins, ratings, returns, what customers say
Build and maintain the category roadmap: new launches, reformulations, line extensions, delistings
Track the market in CZ/SK, DACH, UK and our other markets — competitors, trends, price points, retail listings
New product development: Turn opportunities into clear product briefs: target customer, taste, nutrition, price, format, margin
Run development with our own production and contract manufacturers — samples, tastings, iterations
Lead sensory panels and make the call on when a product is good enough to launch
Work with regulatory on ingredients, nutrition and health claims, and labelling (EU FIC, local requirements)
Work with packaging on formats, materials and artwork
Keep launches on time and on cost
Commercial & launch: Own the business case for every product: COGS, pricing, margin, volume forecast
Brief marketing and e-commerce on positioning, claims and launch content
Support sales and key accounts with product information for retail listings
Review performance after launch and act on it — fix, extend or cut
