The Product Management team drives the development, market launches, and continuous improvement of Koppert’s portfolio to meet market needs. As part of this dynamic and collaborative team, you will work closely with various departments to ensure successful product launches and portfolio optimization.
- An MSc in Plant Sciences, Agronomy, Agribusiness, or an MBA with a specialization in strategic marketing. Education in a field of agriculture and agronomical background is required.
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in the crop protection industry, with an affinity for macro-biology and bio-insecticides.
- Proven experience in new business and product development, as well as innovation marketing processes.
- Strong ability to conduct market research, develop branding and pricing strategies, and implement product roadmaps.
- Experience in steering interdepartmental project teams and collaborating in a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment.
- A proven track record of developing and implementing strategies to maximize product value.
- Excellent communication and networking skills, with the ability to inspire and lead.
- Energetic, driven, ambitious, and persuasive, with a willingness to travel up to 25% of the time.
- Ability to build networks and maintain good relationships.
- Result-driven, creative, and solution-oriented mindset.
- Customer-focused approach.
- Excellent communication skills in English; knowledge of other languages (e.g., Spanish, Italian, Dutch, or French) is a plus.
You will receive:
- A competitive salary ranging from € 5.131,48 to € 6.841,97 depending on your knowledge and experience.
- An annual variable bonus scheme of 15%.
- 28 days of annual leave, consisting of 25 vacation days and 3 additional leave days.
- The option to purchase up to 10 extra vacation days (based on a 40-hour workweek).
- Flexible working hours and up to 2 days of remote work per week.
- An excellent pension scheme, with Koppert covering 70% of contributions.
- Options to participate in a bicycle plan and discounts on gym memberships.
- Development opportunities through the Koppert Academy, as well as training and conferences.
At Koppert, we contribute to better health for people and the planet by working with nature to make agriculture healthier, safer, more productive, and resilient. We use natural enemies to combat pests, bumblebees for pollination, and microorganisms and biostimulants to support, protect, and strengthen crops.
As a family-owned business, we value respect, care, and a strong belief in biological solutions. We work together as a family to drive sustainable cultivation practices forward.
