Join an established Australian FMCG business with a diverse portfolio across food, beverage and consumer nutrition. With a significant pipeline of innovation and a strong focus on improving how new products are brought to market, the business is investing in its commercialisation capability to support continued growth. The culture is collaborative, fast-paced and down-to-earth, with strong connectivity across marketing, innovation, technical and operations teams.
About the Role
This is a newly created NPDProject Manager position sitting within the marketing function and acting as the critical link between NPD and operations. You will take ownership of multiple NPD projects, driving them through the Stage Gate process from concept through to successful commercialisation.
Working across a busy and varied innovation pipeline, you will:
Manage the end-to-end delivery of multiple NPD and commercialisation projects
Own project plans, timelines, milestones, dependencies and critical paths
Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders across marketing, NPD, technical, operations and commercial teams
Proactively identify risks and roadblocks, driving actions to keep projects on track
Facilitate technical and commercial conversations, ensuring clear ownership and communication across teams
Support and enhance existing Stage Gate processes and project management frameworks




Improve project visibility and ways of working through tools such as monday.com
Balance multiple priorities within a fast-moving and complex FMCG environment
About You
You will bring 5+ years' project management experience, ideally within FMCG, food or beverage, along with a strong understanding of NPD and commercialisation. You don't need to be a technical specialist, but you will be naturally curious, comfortable working with technical stakeholders and confident asking the right questions to move projects forward. You'll be organised, proactive and solutions-focused, with the relationship-building skills to bring different functions together and create momentum.
Why Apply?
This is an opportunity to join a business with a substantial active NPD pipeline where commercialisation is genuinely critical to the broader growth strategy. You'll have visibility across the full product development lifecycle and the chance to influence how projects and processes are managed across the organisation.
