Join a well-established, market-leading business with over 100 years of success behind it — and an exciting growth strategy ahead.

As the company continues to expand its own-label portfolio, they're looking for a commercially driven Own Label Product Manager to take ownership of the product journey from initial concept through to launch.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys combining product development, supplier management, commercial thinking and creativity to bring new products to market.

The Role

You'll play a key role in developing and growing the own-label portfolio, including:

  * Developing and delivering own-label product and brand strategies

  * Managing the full product lifecycle from concept to launch

  * Identifying new opportunities through market and competitor analysis

  * Working with Marketing to develop strong brand propositions and packaging

  * Managing suppliers and negotiating cost, quality and lead times

  * Developing and delivering the Own Label Development Plan

  * Ensuring products meet all legal, safety and quality requirements

  * Signing off samples, packaging and final production

  * Working closely with Product Management, Procurement, Purchasing and Marketing

About You

We're looking for someone with experience in product development, buying or category management, ideally within an own-label/private-label environment.

You'll bring:

  * Strong supplier management and negotiation skills

  * Commercial awareness and a genuine interest in product innovation

  * Understanding of manufacturing, sourcing and compliance

  * Excellent project management and organisational skills

  * A creative, commercially focused approach

  * The flexibility to travel occasionally, around 5%

Why This Role?

This isn't simply about managing a product range — it's about creating products, developing brands and spotting the next opportunity for growth.

If you're ready to take real ownership and make a visible impact within an ambitious business, this could be a great next move
