As Shopper & Trade Marketeer Food & Fresh at Verstegen, you ensure that all marketing activities for the hospitality sector, catering, wholesalers, and fresh food specialists run smoothly. You maintain an overview of everything that's happening, from POS materials and recipe brochures to promotions, customer campaigns, and events. You ensure everything is ready on time and liaise with everyone necessary to achieve this.
You operate at the intersection of marketing, sales, and food. You don't need to be an experienced marketer yet. Quite the opposite. We are looking for someone who is curious, eager to learn, and energized by arranging, organizing, and collaborating. Someone who maintains an overview when many things are happening simultaneously and enjoys getting things done.
Would you like to take your first or second step in marketing within a well-known family business where delicious food is central? Then we'd love to meet you.
You will join the Strategic Marketing & Category Growth team in Rotterdam, consisting of 15 colleagues. You will report to the Channel & Category Development Lead for Food & Fresh.
The team atmosphere is open, direct, and informal. We work hard, but there's also room for humor. You will frequently interact with colleagues from different departments and will regularly be involved with clients, events, or inspiration sessions. No two days are the same.
You ensure that all activities within the Food & Fresh channel are well-organized and carried out on time. You maintain an overview, monitor deadlines, and collaborate with many different colleagues and external parties. Your main tasks:
Monitoring all shopper marketing
and promotional activities within the Food & Fresh channel.
Coordinating POS materials, promotions, flyers, recipes, campaigns, and other marketing communications.
Liaising with colleagues from marketing, sales, category management and external suppliers to ensure everything is arranged on time.
Collaborating on customer campaigns, product launches, inspiration sessions, and events.
Support with trade fairs, customer meetings, and other commercial activities.
Collaborating on which message, expression, or activation best suits a client or channel.
Analyzing sales and shopper data to identify what works and where opportunities lie.
Monitoring schedules, deadlines, and priorities, even when many things are happening simultaneously.
You don't need to have a lot of experience yet, but you are someone who likes to get things done. You enjoy organizing, are good at planning, and remain calm when a lot is happening at once. You like working with many different people and thrive in a dynamic environment.
Additionally:
● You have completed a higher professional education (hbo) degree, for example in marketing, commercial economics, or a similar field.

For generations, we have been delivering the very best quality herbs, spices, sauces, and marinades. But what truly makes us unique is our drive to add value.

Verstegen is a Rotterdam-based family business with over 550 colleagues.
You will be working in a social environment where everyone matters. From raw material to finished product, we make everything ourselves. We are known for our high quality and good working atmosphere. We roll up our sleeves and go for it.
