The Role

We are looking for a Global Product Specialist – Minerals to join our Global Creation, Design & Development (CD&D) Feed Additives Ingredients (FAI) team in Rolle, Switzerland. You will join a team of product specialists supporting the global Animal Nutrition business. As the expert for the Mineral additives portfolio dedicated to livestock animals, you will bring product expertise, drive portfolio development and support business growth worldwide.
The position operates within a matrix organization: you own your product line while working across functions and regions, coordinating closely with global and regional teams to deliver on shared objectives. 

Your Responsibilities

Reporting to the Global Minerals Team Leader (CD&D FAI), and as the recognized expert for your products, you will:

• Own your product portfolio — acting as the go-to technical and commercial reference for the Mineral additives range and its applications in animal feed.
• Ensure technical support to the worldwide sales force, regional CD&D teams and key accounts: deliver training, support trial design and analysis, answer technical questions, and facilitate the exchange of knowledge between regions.
• Participate in discussions with customers and the sales force to maximize the chances of success on new collaboration opportunities.
• Lead transversal projects across the portfolio in close collaboration with other functions — including new product development, innovation and product prioritization — applying structured project management to keep initiatives on scope, on time and on budget.
• Work hand-in-hand with cross-functional partners (R&D, QA&QC, Production, Supply, Registration and Marketing) within the matrix organization.
• Identify and analyse market needs and assess the competitive landscape to optimize and grow the portfolio.
• Develop technical and marketing materials to support the positioning of the portfolio, together with global and regional marketing leads.
• Manage the operational set-up of your products — including technical documentation, formula management and product set-up in ADM's ERP and software systems.

Your Profile

• MSc in Agriculture / Animal Nutrition, or equivalent.
• 3–5 years' experience in the Feed Additives business or Animal Nutrition, with a solid understanding of the animal feed industry and of customer priorities, needs and challenges in the field.
• Demonstrated project management skills, with the ability to run several projects in parallel within a matrix environment.
• Hands-on experience using ERP systems (product set-up, formula and documentation management).
• Background in Mineral nutrition is an advantage.
• Strong presentation skills, online and in person.
• Fluent in English (written and oral); other main languages are a plus.
• Flexible, proactive and customer-oriented team player, working goal-oriented; comfortable in a dynamic, international environment and open to change.
• Enthusiastic, with a strong desire for continuous learning.
• Able to travel worldwide (max 20% of the time).
