- 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.
- 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.
