Our solutions go beyond nutrition – we provide best-in-class advice and technology to help our customers produce more sustainable food to feed the world's growing population.

- Lead key projects end-to-end with Marketing, Operations, Quality, Procurement, and Legal; track milestones, risks, and ROI.
- Build and execute go-to-market plans (claims strategy, pricing guidance, launch toolkits, sales enablement).
- Create compelling technical content (datasheets, guidelines, training modules) that simplifies complex science.
- Capture voice-of-customer and market intelligence; benchmark competitors and shape proactive responses.
- Deliver product promotion, training, and customer engagement globally; ensure post-launch performance tracking.
Job Requirements:
- MSc/PhD (or equivalent experience) in Animal Nutrition, Veterinary Science, Microbiology or related, with strong gut physiology and antimicrobial/antibiotic-alternative understanding.
- Must-have experience in poultry & swine within animal nutrition/feed or gut-health solutions.
- 8 - 10+ years’ experience combining technical and commercial responsibilities
- Proven project management skills leading cross-functional teams and delivering measurable outcomes.
- Strong communicator with customer-ready narratives and effective training.
- Comfortable operating globally with diverse stakeholders
- Willing and able to travel up to 40% of the time
- Fluent in English (additional languages a plus).
Global Benefits:
- A full-time position in an international, dynamic environment.
- Competitive remuneration package, good pension scheme, and 30 vacation days with flexibility.
- Opportunities for professional growth within Nutreco and the broader SHV group.
- A flexible work environment with the option to work from home max 2 days per week.
