Job Details



A Business Development Manager is needed for a major global dairy business in Denmark to manage health food customers in the Asian market.

This Business Development Manager role is with Arla Food Ingredients, an independent company within the Arla Foods Group and sits within the Health & Performance group. Arla Food Ingredients (AFI) markets specialised protein ingredients and is looking to become a leader in added value whey products for the clinical nutrition and health sectors.

You will be responsible for business development within Asian territories where AFI supplies an extensive range of products primarily to the Health Food sector. In addition there is a small amount of Clinical Nutrition and Sports Nutrition customers. AFI is developing new natural products with undiscovered applications and it is the job of the Business Development Manager to partner with new customers in these sectors and find new beneficial opportunities for its products.

The main responsibilities are to present new products, communicate scientific evidence and support customers with expert technical knowledge which will translate to increased international sales. You will use your exceptional interpersonal skills and cultural understanding of the commercial practices in Asian markets to build strong relationships within this expanding market

Requirements:

  • MSc in Human Nutrition, Biomedicine, Biochemistry or similar
  • Understanding of scientific concepts and how to translate them to commercial products
  • Sales & Marketing experience in the food, healthcare or clinical nutrition sectors
  • Cultural understanding of negotiations in different Asian countries
  • Ability to travel frequently - likely 50 -70 business days per year
  • Strong project management skills

 


Though this role is focusing on the Asian market it is based at Arla Food Ingredients Head Office in Aarhus, Denmark. As such you will be required to be based in Aarhus and should be happy to relocate when making you application. Arla also has its general Head Office in the area and is also in the process of constructing a new innovation centre so there is a huge amount of talent and opportunity within the group at present.

Please send your CV for consideration today if you have the relevant skills for this role.
