We provide a challenging and developmental job with freedom under responsibility, dedicated colleagues, high-quality products, and a management approach that values eye-level communication.

The Position
You will be responsible for your customer portfolio within the Nutrition and Pharma industries, primarily in Sweden, but also in other Nordic countries, where you will sell ingredients used in pharmaceutical products and nutritional supplements. Your focus will be on both existing customers as well as identifying new relevant customers.
