Tasks that grow you.

The development of new products and product innovations in our successful core business - that will be your next marketing challenge. You will help us to identify the right issues within our core portfolio and develop new product concepts together with our international teams.

At our headquarters in Laufen, you will lead interdisciplinary project teams consisting of international marketing and innovation specialists, R&D, Insights and Operations. Together, you will guide new product ideas through our stage-gate process and ensure that only the best products with the typical Ricola flavor are launched on the shelves of potentially over 50 international markets.

As Global Product Manager, you will analyze consumer wants and needs, plan specific market research studies and derive innovation or renovation concepts. In doing so, you take into account our efforts to achieve greater sustainability. You monitor business cases, have innovation budgets under control and advise the markets on optimal positioning. You play a cross-functional role in the validation of product ideas and concepts. Developing and designing a product together with various internal departments is an exciting challenge for you. You will also accompany product tests in our plants. You will also work with design agencies to create an eye-catching design that will impress our customers.

Together we are even more diverse.

You have the expertise we need: After completing your education in marketing or business, you have at least two years of experience and a track record as a (junior) product or brand manager in an international environment - ideally in the FMCG sector. Your in-depth knowledge and passion for product and innovation management make you a competent and tangible sparring partner. In addition, you have already proven several times that you can successfully manage and coordinate projects in German and English.

Discovering a topic from scratch does not make you nervous, but rather arouses your curiosity and excites you, as you love to be creative and explore new things with your sense of aesthetics.

Your mind-set is characterized by joy, curiosity and flexibility. You like to think analytically and question critically in order to find new, innovative solutions. You also enjoy working with external stakeholders as well as administrative tasks in the office.

Many good reasons.

At Ricola, though work is not your whole life, it is a large part of it, we want to make a contribution to a world where people enjoy living - and working. That's why you should like to do what you do for a living, and the working conditions should be fair. More about what makes us as an employer under ricola.com/employer.
