Food & Content Developer — ItsFood Ltd
📍 Fully hybrid (home-based, with flexibility to work at business and client locations) | Fixed-term, 6 months with a view to permanency | £35,000 p/a | Start: August 2026
About the Role
ItsFood is a growing food development agency based in London, working with clients ranging from founders and start-ups through to global FMCG brands on product development, innovation strategy, supplier sourcing, and menu development. We're looking for a Food & Content Developer to join our small, fast-moving team and support our two founders across product development, content, business development, and operations.
This is a broad, hands-on role for someone with culinary experience who's curious about food trends and consumer thinking, and confident creating content across multiple channels. Success in this role looks like someone who can move fluidly between the test kitchen and the laptop — developing recipes and costings one day, writing a blog post or building a pitch deck the next — while steadily taking on more ownership of projects and client relationships as they grow into the role.
