Join Nestlé Nordics – We are looking for the Power of YOU!

Are you commercially savvy? Passionate about working with iconic brands? If YES, then come join us as our new Nordic Brand & Innovation Manager at Nestlé Nordics, working with favorites like KitKat, Lion, and After Eight!

Working at Nestlé: As the largest food and beverage company in the world, Nestlé offers a diverse range of products with a primary focus on nutrition, health, and wellness. Nestlé Nordics is not just a workplace; it is a community where your uniqueness matters. We celebrate diversity and value every aspect of you, creating a culture that encourages growth, celebrates differences, and offers endless opportunities.

Your Job:
As our new Nordic Brand & Innovation Manager , you will join a dynamic team of eight and report to the Nordic Marketing Manager for Confectionery & Food. Based at Nestlé’s Nordic headquarters in Ørestad, Copenhagen, you will take ownership of key projects that drive brand activations, innovation, and renovation across our Confectionery portfolio. You will work closely with local Commercial Development Managers (CDMs), cross-functional teams, and factory counterparts across Europe. Your mission is to leverage Nordic synergies and ensure we have the right plans in place to meet our targets – always aligned with our overall strategy and objectives.

Key responsibilities:

• Lead projects end-to-end for product innovation and renovation.
• Drive brand activations across Nordic markets in collaboration with local teams.
• Prepare business cases and trade presentations with an outside-in perspective, aligned with category strategies and omni-channel targets.

• Lead the annual business planning process for your brands, including market analysis, category insights, and consumer proposition development.
• Ensure alignment with key stakeholders, such as CDMs and shopper marketing teams.
• Collaborate with supporting functions (supply chain, logistics, factories, regulatory affairs, etc.) to deliver projects smoothly.
• Act as brand guardian, ensuring all materials – including POS – follow brand guidelines.

Please note that this is a Parental Leave Cover and thus a temporary position, limited to a year, but with the possibility of a permanent role within the company for the right candidate at the end of the one-year contract.
