Vilgain makes high-quality food - clean, functional ingredients, no shortcuts, no filler additives.

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.

Your mission 🎯

You'll own specific product development projects from brief to launch, working directly with third-party suppliers and manufacturers. Working closely with the Category Manager, you'll make sure every project is aligned with the wider category goals and launch plan, and spot the commercial opportunities that will help the category grow.

What will you do?
  • Owning end-to-end new product development projects, from initial brief through development to market launch.

  • Running projects with third-party manufacturers – sourcing and selecting suppliers and managing those relationships day to day.

  • Reporting into the Category Manager and making sure your projects are aligned with the wider category goals and launch plan.

  • Building the commercial case for your projects – costings, margins and volumes – and prioritising the opportunities with the highest value.

  • Partnering with design, marketing, Regulatory and QA to bring products to market, including briefs, documentation and artwork sign-off.

  • Running existing product development (EPD) projects such as product improvements, packaging amends and label corrections.

  • Monitoring market trends and identifying new commercial opportunities for the category.

What do we expect from you?
  • At least 3 years' experience in NPD, project management or a similar role in the food industry – food experience is essential.

  • Experience with private label production and working with third-party manufacturers.

  • Highly numerate and financially aware, with the commercial sense to prioritise high-value opportunities.

  • Experience in a small business or startup environment – we move quickly, and you'll need to be happy with the fast pace of a rapidly growing business.

  • Highly organised, with strong attention to detail and the ability to juggle several projects at once.

  • A proactive problem-solver who takes initiative and can work independently.

  • A strong communicator who can build good relationships with colleagues, both internally and externally.

  • Confident with spreadsheets and project management tools, and actively uses AI tools to work smarter.

  • A love for food and a genuine interest in making a difference to the food system.

  • Fluent in English.

What we offer:
  • Fast-paced, growing team where your work has a visible impact on the products we launch.

  • 5 weeks of vacation, flexible hours, and remote work options, get monthly shopping credits.

  • Stay connected through team events, breakfasts, and group workouts.
