Burger Urge – New Product Development (NPD) Specialist

We're taking it back.

Back to the days when food wasn’t fast and burgers weren’t processed plastic.

To when the local burger joint was an experience, a celebration of bold flavours, loud music, laughter, and good times.

At Burger Urge, we’re not just flipping patties. We’re reclaiming the burger.

What We Value

We’re a tribe of ambitious creators.

We work with passion, chase quality, and stay authentic in everything we do.

About the Role – NPD Specialist:

This hands-on role will see you own the entire new product journey from spicy brainstorms and messy test kitchens to market-ready rollouts.

You’ll work closely with our founders, ops team, marketing legends, and supply chain pros to launch game-changing, drool-worthy creations.

This role is all about innovation with purpose. We’re not here to follow trends, we’re here to set them.

  • Develop & launch new, premium food products
  • Drive creative concepts that match our bold brand & customer cravings
  • Ensure compliance with food safety & regulatory standards
  • Lead projects through our Stage-Gate innovation process
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Ops, Marketing, IT, Sales & Supply Chain
  • Use data & market insight to guide flavour direction & trends
  • Support national operations, refurbishments, and new venue rollouts

What You Bring to the Table

  • Degree in Food Science, Technology (not mandatory but preferable), or a related field.
  • Proven experience from concept to commercialisation
  • Hands-on skills in meat and smallgoods development
  • A flair for project management and a love for spreadsheets (hello Excel)
  • Exceptional communication and problem-solving chops
  • Autonomy, adaptability, and a little creative chaos
