In addition, you’ll set up and maintain analytical methods to evaluate ingredient functionality and collaborate closely with the sales team to provide technical support and create customer-facing samples. You thrive in a dynamic and 100% customer centric environment, and get energy by being a key player in the selling process as a technical expert.

We would like you to have at least a Master’s degree in Food Science, and a background as a chef is considered a merit. Experience in a scale-up or fast-growing environment is a plus, especially if you’ve helped shape ways of working from the ground up.
