Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've led category or customer marketing strategies in foodservice/CPG with 5+ years in director-level roles
  • You thrive in matrix organizations and can influence peers without direct authority across Marketing, Sales, Innovation, and RGM
  • You combine strategic rigor (market analysis, portfolio architecture) with operator empathy and commercial acumen
  • You're fluent in English and at least one other European language (French a plus); comfortable leading across multi-country teams
Won't Work If
  • You need full decision-making autonomy and struggle with consensus-building in complex matrix structures
  • You lack hands-on foodservice or B2B channel marketing experience—this is for category strategists with operator/distributor credibility
  • You're not mission-driven; if plant-based food and sustainability aren't core to why you show up, the role won't stick

Interview Process

Final panel
