About the Role
At ADM Protexin, we’re redefining pet and human health through functional nutrition. We’re looking for a Product Development Operative to play a key role in our New Product Development (NPD) pipeline—supporting both Protexin branded innovations and client-led briefs.
This is a fast-paced, highly collaborative role where you’ll help translate concepts into commercially viable, high-performance products.
Working at the intersection of science, manufacturing, and customer needs, you’ll support the development of functional products across a range of formats.
Responsibilities
- Drive execution of NPD projects across Protexin and external client briefs (B2B2C & B2C)
- Coordinate activities required to deliver launch-ready, functional nutrition solutions
- Plan and run development and compatibility trials using lab-scale and pilot equipment
- Translate customer briefs into practical formulations and trial plans
- Collaborate with Development Scientists to optimise functional ingredient performance and stability
- Work closely with contract manufacturers to scale up and commercialise new products
- Troubleshoot formulation and process challenges, ensuring robust, manufacturable solutions
- Maintain detailed project records and manage workflows via ERP systems
