At yfood, we are aiming for a world that eats better. With 200 colleagues in Germany and doubling revenues every year, we are now conquering the Dutch market and we are looking for people that want to be at the forefront of copying this German success story to the Netherlands. With a brand new office in Amsterdam, ambitious colleagues and a proven business at Jumbo, Albert Heijn and online, this is the chance to join a start-up in a scale-up environment.
ABOUT THE ROLE
Since yfood is building a category that did not exist yet in the Netherlands, we are looking for somebody to lead our Dutch retail efforts. We want to cherish the relationship that we have with Albert Heijn and Jumbo and we believe that there are opportunities to grow more. However, we are hungry for more: we want to increase our retail distribution into new areas, both in the Netherlands and in Belgium. This means that the role is strategic in terms of expansion strategy and go-to market, but also operational in terms of relationship handling with existing retailers.
You are responsible for our total retail business, how a potential team should look like and ensure that Dutch people get to know the Smart Food category as well as our German neighbors do.
