You love creativity, brands, and engaging narratives to the extent your passion becomes a beacon and inspiration for your team and Arla’s partners in their daily execution as well as long-term vision for their branded position.

You are structured in your approach and capable of managing multiple agendas simultaneously with your team and various stakeholders. You can navigate easily international and multicultural environments where social and cultural standards are inherent.
