At JDE Professional we have big ambitions to expand our coffee presence with B2B customers around the world.  In the Professional GBD team we play a leading role in delivering this ambition: we create powerful relationships with distributor partners in markets where JDE has no presence and we maximize value creation by leveraging brands like Douwe Egberts, Jacobs, Maxwell House and L’Or.  We also drive the growth of our global customers through international key account management.

In short, we are the global ambassadors of JDE and our goal is to double the size of our business over the next 5 years.

To support this ambition, we are look for our new Global Partner Marketing Manager to join this dynamic and entrepreneurial team.  The role gives you ownership to define a powerful customer marketing vision for the distributor network and international key accounts.  From Iceland to South Africa to Japan, you will be responsible for creating a fit to win portfolio, owning and operating our growth driver program, and developing a Partner Capability program to drive world class distributor capabilities around the world.  In short, it’s a game changing role for a talented commercial marketer!

You will report to the Global Business Development Director and lead a team of 2 Partner Marketing Specialists and a Commercial Support Specialist. You will also collaborate closely with the Professional Global Marketing team. 

This role offers an exciting step into JDE and a fantastic opportunity to make a big impact in a very fast moving team. 

To succeed in this role you will need:

• 5+ years’ experience in marketing, ideally related to trade or customer marketing.

• Creative ideas combined with analytical competence and commercial acumen.

• Comfort with fast pace of change and entrepreneurial pragmatism.

• A proven track record of driving commercial growth within a FMCG company.

• An understanding (and enjoyment of) business development

• Sharp communication skills and English fluency.
