NPD Manager | Beauty, Cosmetics & Wellness | Northwest
I’m currently recruiting for an exciting NPD Manager opportunity with a growing beauty, cosmetics and wellness company based in the Northwest of England.
Salary: £45,000 to £50,000
Location: Northwest of England
Working: Hybrid or Remote
We’re looking for an experienced NPD professional with ideally 2+ years of recent NPD experience, although strong candidates with relevant experience will also be considered. The ideal background would be within beauty, cosmetics, skincare, haircare, wellness or personal care, but we’re also happy to consider candidates from FMCG and food, particularly where there is strong end to end product development experience.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
