Why Interfood?
Because Interfood’s purpose says it all: Together for better. Top quality staff will ensure top quality services. Therefore, Interfood invests in the development of its employees. There is a lot of room for personal growth. Besides that, there is a huge growth potential within the European business hub, but also on international level in one of our other global offices. You are always oriented internationally during a work week, which
includes traveling. What I never would have said in my previous job, I can now say proudly: I love going to work!

What do you expect from your new colleague?
Teamwork, ambition and professional & commercial skills. He or she should really have the drive to win every day. But also, and as important as the previous, good humor, easy going and positive mindset.

Why do you like to work for a global enterprise?
Apart from having to deal with multiple languages and cultures, which I love a lot, you get the opportunity to work abroad after a few years at Interfood. In a company with 14 offices globally, you can learn from your foreign colleagues every day. Learn about the global industry, about local habits, and more importantly, learn how to do business the best way in an ever-changing dairy industry.

A motivated and dedicated person, who is willing to explore the industry, to build relationships and really wants to learn about the ins-and-outs of the global dairy industry.

Why do you want to work for a global enterprise?
In a global company like Interfood, you have the opportunity to continuously learn from colleagues from all over the world. Cultural differences are very interesting to deal with while doing business but also in a more social way. On top of that, working with all global offices gives us a broader perspective of the global dairy industry, which helps us in both forecasting and decision making.
