Senior Brand Product Development & Quality Manager (FTC)
Bring world-class creative ideas into the real world, and lead the team that makes it happen.
£75,000 | 12-Month FTC (Maternity Cover) | ASAP start
West London | Hybrid, 3 days in the office
A globally recognised premium consumer brand is looking for a senior product development lead to cover a 12-month maternity leave in its Brand & Activation team, reporting to the Global Director.
You'll partner with designers from the earliest stages of a project and own the full cycle of sourcing, development, and production for packaging, POS, retail displays, branded merchandise, and campaign activations across global markets. You'll lead the team that delivers this work, and you'll be the person accountable for making sure everything that ships is safe, compliant, and made to the standard the brand is known for.
The role has three equal parts: new product development, leading people, and owning quality and compliance.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.

- Manage global suppliers and manufacturing partners, from sourcing and sampling through negotiation, production planning, and delivery
- Work closely with design, marketing, logistics, and finance to make sure every physical touchpoint lands beautifully, on time, and compliantly
What you'll bring
- Significant experience leading branded product development and production within premium consumer products, branded goods, retail, or lifestyle brands
- Proven experience managing and developing a team, and the confidence to step into an established one and earn trust quickly
- Strong, current knowledge of quality assurance and compliance for consumer products sold globally

- Experience managing global supplier networks and delivering into multiple international markets

Why this role
Few roles sit this close to the creative process while owning so much of how a brand comes to life. You'll help shape ideas rather than simply execute them, lead a talented team, and influence how a globally recognised brand is experienced around the world.
