Your data-driven insights and proactive approach will improve decision-making and strengthen our market position. Success will be measured by the effective local activation of nutrition materials, stakeholder engagement, and the quality of nutrition guidance provided.

Care
This role reports to the global nutrition team and works closely with cross-functional teams including marketing, sales, communications, regulatory affairs, and product development.
