Product Data Coordinator, Arla Denmark - Aarhus (12-month maternity cover)

Are you ready to take up a role where you have the responsibly to make all ends meet, and where our customers’ success to a large degree depends on your efforts?

As Product Data Coordinator for the Arla Denmark Innovation team, you will be the key person who ensures that our master data is accurately maintained to ensure smooth launches of our new products. This means that the job will provide you with a unique opportunity to gain solid business understanding, understanding of Arla’s innovation processes and ways of working, and build a strong network across Arla’s large matrix organization. 

How you will make an impact

Arla has strong growth ambitions and last year, we launched or relaunched more than 160 products in Denmark. You will help all these launches become a success, and therefore you will be one of the key people who has the overview of our entire innovation pipeline, including everything from milk, yoghurt, chocolate milk, cheese, cream, butter, and soups. Perhaps you already know some of the recent launches which include the new Airy Skyr? Or the ‘Food to Go’ meal-in-a-bottle by Arla Protein?          

Our Product Data Coordinator is going on maternity leave start June, which means that you have a chance to join our team for a 12-month maternity cover. We recommend that you start in May to ensure that you get a thorough onboarding and that you are set up for success. In the role, you will work closely with our Product Data Manager, and the two of you will drive the master data agenda for Arla Denmark. You will have a broad range of contacts in Sales, Planning, Supply Chain and IT that you collaborate with to ensure correct product master data for our new launches.

Your primary stakeholders will be our local team of Product Managers that you support with guidance and continuous optimizations of master data processes. Furthermore, you will be the point of contact between Arla Denmark and GS1 (a worldwide standardization organization).

More specifically, you will be:

• Facilitating meetings with Product Managers to support on master data creation
• Lead meetings with Planning and Sales to ensure correct data and smooth launches 
• Guide users of our product system (‘Product Information Management’-system, PIM)
• Onboarding & go-to person for Master Data
• Help PIM users report system errors, create IT tickets, and be sparring partner between IT and Arla Denmark
• Support and guide student assistants/Product Managers in their daily work with GS1
• Challenge and optimize processes and ways of working in collaboration with the Product Data Manager
• Handling ad hoc administrative and follow-up tasks 

What will make you successful

We imagine that the right candidate for this position is a structured and detail-oriented person, who will take pride in owning the product data processes and the ongoing maintenance of the data. You may have experience with product data but could also bring experience from other coordinator or support roles. Regardless, it characterises your work that you never compromise on quality and timely delivery, even when the pace is high. Finally, you speak and write English fluently, and fluent Danish would be an advantage for this position.

What do we offer?  

We are committed to professional development and promoting from within. Our positive and collaborative culture will bring out the best in you. And you will join a market leader who produces nutritious favourite brands in a way that makes things better for our customers, the farmers who own us and the whole world.
