It's Monday morning. With a cup of coffee on your desk, log in for the weekly team meeting. From Franeker, you sit at the helm, while three faces appear on your screen: your account manager in Germany, your colleague in the Benelux and the representative in the Nordics. Each one brings their own story. In Germany, opportunities lie with a new customer, a project is running above expectations in the Nordics, and a challenging negotiation is imminent in the Benelux. You are the one who connects the lines, gives direction and gives the team energy.
After the meeting, you drive to the office, where the General Manager Europe is already waiting for you. Together, you go through the numbers and the strategic priorities. But the conversation is also about you: how you see your role, what international projects you want to take on, and what career steps are waiting for you at Huhtamaki. You notice that you are not only delivering results, but you are also seen as someone who can grow within the multinational.
Later that week, you'll be sitting at a customer's table in Germany. With sharp questions and an ear for their challenges, you can steer the conversation towards growth. There is talk about expanding the product portfolio and sustainable innovations. On the way back in the car, call your representative in the Nordics. Together, you will brainstorm how a successful approach in Scandinavia can be translated to other markets.
That's exactly what makes this role so special: you combine customer visits with strategic discussions, lead an international team and build your own career at the same time. At Huhtamaki, you are in the middle of a dynamic environment, where you have the opportunity to take both your customers and your career to the next level.
