Job Description

Location: Stoney Creek

The Company: Our client is a well-established commercial bakery headquartered in Hamilton, Ontario. They are a growth-oriented manufacturer with a strong market presence and an entrepreneurial culture that genuinely values innovation.

The Opportunity: This is a rare chance to own the entire product development mandate — not inherit it.

You will be the company's primary R&D resource, with full accountability for new product development, formulation, commercialization, and continuous improvement.

Over time, as the business scales, you will have the opportunity to build and lead a team beneath you. If you've been looking for a role where your fingerprints are on the innovation strategy from day one, this is it.

Job Duties & Responsibilities:

Lead end-to-end product development across the full bakery portfolio — cakes, pastries, sweet goods, and adjacent categories — from concept through commercial launch
