Strategy & Revenue Growth Manager

We have a great opportunity to join our newly created in-house strategy team, which was set up by the Northern Europe President to define our BU Strategy and drive implementation. In a nutshell, the Strategy team is responsible for two main things.

• First, the creation of the long term BU strategy across all levers (eg marketing, innovation, commercial, revenue growth management, operations), in collaboration with the Business units (eg category commercial, marketing, operations).
• Second, the delivery of strategic projects (management consultancy style), that will enable us to deliver our BU strategy (selected by the NE president and CFO).
The Strategy Manager will be a core part of this agile Strategy team (of 6 headcounts). This role will expose you to a wide variety of functions and departments and provide you with a strong understanding of the total business. We may also sell our work externally to retailers and key partners. Examples of projects could include the Away from Home Go to Market Strategy, Category Development work on our latest adjacencies (eg Pasta Sauces), Revenue Growth Management work on our core business (eg Soup), and building the strategy and framework to derive and execute our Must Stock list.,
• Drive the annual strategic process, in line with our brand growth framework - including the facilitation of key stakeholder workshops

• Bring best-in-class practices and perspectives based on external and internal observations

• Analytical: We're a very data oriented company and strive to translate complex data into a simple solution with an analytical approach.
• Results driven: We don't only focus on individual results, but always do what's best for the team and company, taking true ownership to go above and beyond to make it happen
• Empathy: you are clear how your actions impact others and conscious of their context and environment
• Teamwork: Achieving results is nice, but achieving results with the team is simply the best. As a great teammate, you will sometimes be the leader, sometimes a follower but always working towards the same common goal together with your teammates, with a we not me mindset
