New Product Development Manager - EMEA

About this role

WHO WE ARE

We’re not in the wing business. We’re in the flavor business. It’s been our mission to Serve the World Flavor since we first opened in 1994, and we’re just getting started. 1997 saw the opening of our first brand partner operated Wingstop location, and by 2002 we had served the world one billion wings. It’s flavor that defines us and has made Wingstop one of the fastest growing brands in the restaurant industry.

Above all else – our success is largely due to our people and our core values, or what we call The Wingstop Way of being entrepreneurial, service-minded, fun, and authentic. We believe having a strong people foundation centered on these collective values creates a crave-worthy culture and talented team, as well as ensures our brand is poised for accelerated growth. We all win together.

WHAT WE’LL NEED

At Wingstop, flavor is at the heart of everything we do. As our EMEA business continues to grow, we're looking for an experienced New Product Development & SC (NPD) Manager to lead the development and the supply-chain delivery of new menu items, ingredients, packaging and product innovation across the region.

Sitting within the Supply Chain team, this is a highly cross-functional role that acts as the bridge between Marketing, Operations, Development, Quality, Procurement, Global Innovation Teams and our supplier partners. You'll take ideas from concept through to launch, ensuring every innovation is operationally executable, commercially viable and unmistakably Wingstop.

You'll be responsible for building a robust innovation pipeline that supports market growth while protecting the consistency and quality of our core menu.

In addition, you will play a critical role in establishing, scaling, and optimizing our supply chain infrastructure within key categories that not only deliver NPD but support the core category and management too, this will complement the total category management supporting both top & bottom line.
