We are looking for a Junior Project Manager to support product and improvement projects across the FMCG value chain (NPD, relaunches, recipe/pack changes, product discontinuation). The role focuses on project coordination, documentation quality and execution consistency using established methodologies and tools. The successful candidate will work with cross‑functional teams (R&D, QA, Supply Chain, Marketing, Procurement, IT/SAP) and receive mentoring from the PM/PMO with opportunities to grow into a Project Manager role.
- Coordinate NPD / saving / relaunch projects (launches, recipe, or pack changes) from kick‑off to handover: organize meetings, track timelines, monitor tasks and milestones.
- Prepare and maintain key project documentation: scope, timelines, status reports, risk registers, test plans, acceptance criteria.
- Identify, assess, and mitigate project risks; proactively resolve bottlenecks and escalate when needed.
- Coordinate communication flow and stakeholder updates across functions.
- Ensure high quality of documentation in the project management system/tools and support compliance with internal quality processes.
- Coordinate product discontinuation activities and related process steps.
- Coordinate the process of creating EPN/product codes in the local MDG system; act as MDG local super‑user / first point of contact (with training).
- Support preparation of documents for the internal quality system.
- Support simple SAP/MDG configuration requests or coordinate requirements with ABAP/development teams.
Recipe for Success: Apply if it sounds like you!
- University degree (project management, logistics, engineering, economics, or related).
- 1–3 years’ experience supporting projects (FMCG experience is a plus).
