You ideally hold a university degree in food law, food technology, chemistry, or a Master's or PhD in nutrition, food science or public health. You bring at least seven years of relevant professional experience in the food sector, with a good understanding of nutrition, food regulation and food safety.
You are at home with complexity. You can read a dense regulatory document, extract what matters, and turn it into a clear, decision-ready brief for a senior audience. You are as comfortable engaging policymakers as you are briefing a cross-functional internal team - and you bring the same intellectual rigour and diplomatic confidence to both.
You think strategically and act proactively. You stay ahead of regulatory trends not because you are asked to, but because you are curious about the link between science, policy, and business. You are energized by a dynamic, international environment and you thrive when your work has real-world impact.
You are a strong collaborator who understands how to navigate a matrix organization, build alignment across functions, and bring people along in complex debates.
Excellent English skills is mandatory. Knowledge of Italian is an asset, though not a requirement.
