Associate Product Developer (Maternity cover), Yogurts - Arla Innovation Centre, Aarhus

Location: Aarhus N, DK

Is your mind set on innovation, and are you looking for a job where you combine theoretical know-how of food technology with hands-on product development in an exciting category?

This could be your chance to join a large global company that takes natural products seriously. Based in a state-of-the-art innovation center in Aarhus, you will work closely with our key production sites globally.

You will be part of the Innovation team in our Fermented Category and Stronghold NPD team, focusing on our Base business of Yogurts for the Danish market while also being involved in wider initiatives globally. If you are passionate about working in a fast-paced environment and creating the future of brands such as Cheasy, Yoggi, and Arla Organic, this could be the next career move for you.

The position is a one-year maternity cover starting from February/March 2025.

Develop Fermented dairy products of the future

Your main goal is to develop new fermented dairy products and line extensions across the Fermented category, including the Arla brand and other local strategic bets. You will lead a large number of development projects of varying sizes, and with a hands-on approach, you will drive the activities from start to finish. This position puts you in a unique position to have a major impact on the future success of the organization.

  • Turning concepts into innovative new products to give Arla a commercial advantage.
  • Optimizing the cost/value of new and existing products, working closely with global marketing, suppliers, our supply chain, and other stakeholders.
  • Leading product and process development projects, including recipe finalization, cost management, quality assurance, and legal assessment.
  • Working closely with Brand Managers and colleagues within Fermented dairy to act as a strong and credible technical sparring partner in discussions.
  • Participating in customer-related groups, e.g., product teams, plant meetings, sales, marketing, and application-related group meetings.
  • Project Management, including providing a clear status of a development project, opportunities, risks, and project timeline.

Inventive and innovative - and able to challenge the status quo

As an Associate Product Developer, you are good at communicating clearly and building personal relationships across organizational levels and externally. You possess a sound business understanding and are skilled at driving different projects from start to finish.

You can think outside the box to develop product solutions that meet the changing market and consumer landscape. Experience within the dairy industry or with fermented manufacturing, as well as flavor application and flavor house cooperation, will give you a head start.

Furthermore, we imagine that you:

  • Hold a degree in Food Science and Technology, Dairy Technology, or similar.
  • Have 1-2 years of experience in an FMCG environment (advantageous).
  • Are fluent in English (verbal and written) to navigate in an international environment (Danish is advantageous).
  • Have cross-functional project management experience and are hands-on.
