Arla Foods Ingredients (AFI) is an independent company within the Arla Foods Group and a global leader in natural whey ingredients for many different categories including bakery, beverages, dairy, infant and sport nutrition.

Take AFI’s dairy business to the next level

As part of Arla Foods Ingredients office in Viby Denmark, you will be responsible for value-added sales of ingredients to infant nutrition customers in selected European markets. Our customers are medium-sized to large infant formula manufacturers, and some with offices in China, Africa, and the United States. The customer portfolio will reach from smaller individual customers to big international players where Key Account Management experience will come in handy.

You will handle your own customer portfolio with a high degree of support from our very skilled Sales Development and Pediatric Science teams within pediatric nutrition. It is therefore important that you have a high degree of goal-oriented drive towards the customer, but also as team player with the rest of the organization.  Key responsibilities in the position will be to:

• encourage and develop strategic partnerships with key customers as well as internal stakeholders within the commercial organization.
• play a significant part in the implementation of the business unit strategy
• be responsible for making and executing customer plans as well as making sure that targets are met.
• use your business sense and analytical mind-set when you identify and pursue new opportunities to develop our business even further.

On top of your business area responsibility, it is expected that you contribute actively to developing the business unit, as well as developing AFI as a whole. You will be part of the European sales team to pediatric nutrition and report to the Head of Sales in Europe, and you will  also be a key part of the global sales team.

Expect about 60 travel days a year mainly to destinations in Europe, China and the USA, and mostly as customer visits but also participation in trade shows. You will be based in Viby Denmark.

Excellent sales skills and technical product knowledge combined with ambition and drive

You have a proven sales experience within the food industry, preferably within the ingredients industry for nutrition. Furthermore, you have a technical product understanding either from your educational background or your work experience, which will enable you to understand our offering to pediatric nutrition industry and use this actively to grow your business area.

You have a proven record of working systematically with both small and big customers in a long term strategic business and you must be able to handle varying workloads, keep calm when things are hectic and stand your ground when the going gets tough. You are driven by results and are capable of obtaining the best possible deals through professional and authoritative negotiations. Furthermore, you have a flair for numbers and work in a structured way with your assignments. As you will be operating in a truly international environment, you will need extraordinarily good communication skills to appreciate different cultures, as well as the ability to cooperate with people at all levels.
