About the role

Sensient Technologies Corporation is seeking a Product Development Chef to turn culinary ideas into commercially viable food and beverage applications. You will lead hands-on development, collaborate with marketing and technical teams, and work closely with customer chefs to deliver prototypes and tailored solutions. The role emphasizes a strong culinary background, food science insight, and the ability to operate in a fast-paced research setting with travel to customers and industry events.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
