Århus, Århus Kommune, Denmark Copenhagen Merchants Full time 80,000 - 120,000 per year

Shape the future of food and feed

Why this role matters

Aarhus Protein is one of Denmark's largest processors of faba beans and legumes, turning them into sustainable, high-quality protein ingredients for food and feed. We're backed by Copenhagen Merchants, Danish Agro and Fredericia Shipping - and now we're ready to build our own commercial muscle.

That's where you come in.

We're looking for a Commercial Manager to establish and drive Aarhus Protein's go-to-market setup. You'll own sales and market development across human nutrition and animal feed, building relationships with international customers, securing long-term agreements, and making sure our production capacity is turned into real value.

What you'll be doing

  • Drive sales and take lead on Aarhus Protein's commercial agenda
  • Identify and develop opportunities across human nutrition and animal feed markets
  • Build and nurture partnerships with customers, distributors, and industry stakeholders
  • Negotiate and secure long-term contracts that balance growth and risk
  • Shape and execute go-to-market activities (pricing, positioning, account management, etc.)
  • Work closely with owners and internal stakeholders to align ambitions and execution
  • Contribute to Aarhus Protein's independence and long-term commercial growth

Who you are

You're a commercially driven professional with experience in food, feed, or agri – and you know how to turn ingredients into markets. You combine curiosity with structure and drive with patience, and you're comfortable being the first in a role that you'll help shape as you go.

We imagine you bring:

  • Solid experience in sales, market development or partnerships within ingredients aimed for food/agri/feed
  • A track record of building customer relationships and securing agreements
  • A holistic view on customer solutions – where logistics is naturally part of the equation
  • Familiarity with production-focused companies and supply chain realities
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to see both the detail and the bigger picture
  • Fluency in Danish and English (other European languages are a plus)
  • A personality characterized by tradesmanship, integrity and cooperation

What we offer

This is not just another commercial role. It's your chance to shape Aarhus Protein's market position from the ground up – with strong backing, real capacity, and ambitious owners behind you.

You'll join a small, entrepreneurial team in Aarhus, with a flat structure, plenty of trust, and direct access to decisions. At the same time, you'll have sparring and resources from our owner companies – but the commercial profile you build will be Aarhus Protein's own.

Interested?

If this sounds like your kind of role, we'd love to hear from you. Apply by uploading your CV, upload a short video if you dare (max. 60 seconds), and upload a short motivation if you like.
