Description
Hello potential future Oatly employee.
We're the original oatmilk company that started in Sweden back 25 or so years ago and has since expanded to the U.S. where we've continued growing at a rate such that we need more brilliant minds to come work with us to keep the momentum going and the oatmilk flowing.
Sustainability, health, and transparency are the core values that guide everything we do. Basically, we exist to help people live a healthier life without recklessly taxing the planet's resources in the process, and to change the food system for the better. We drive that change through the power of oats and through a significant reduction in cow's milk consumption.
The Beverage Market Developer will be key in Oatly's mission to lead taste innovation within the specialty and out-of-home (OOH) beverage world. This role goes beyond coffee, encompassing a wide range of beverage applications, including mixology, tea-based drinks, and emerging beverage trends.
Key responsibilities include:
- Creating, leading, and executing Oatly’s beverage development strategy to advance the adoption of Oatly products to new customers
- Identifying and nurturing genuine and strong relationships that lead to mutually beneficial outcomes for Oatly and the top-tier businesses that are driving beverage culture
- Representing the brand with integrity in all interactions, commitment to our company values, positive energy, and deep product knowledge
- Initiating and executing local events; either Oatly-led or in partnership with external stakeholders
- Developing and testing innovative beverage application recipes using Oatly products for operators focused on coffee, tea, cocktails, smoothies, and beyond
- Proactively researching and anticipating beverage industry trends, consumer preferences, and flavor profiles
- Working closely with the commercial, retail, and beverage teams to gather insights and align with customer needs
- Presenting and pitching innovative drink concepts to customers and internal stakeholders
We're looking for someone who is highly creative, obsessed with emerging trends, and keen to push the boundaries of taste and experience in the drink sector. If you're passionate about building relationships and making connections in the specialty beverage world, this could be the perfect role for you.
Required qualifications include:
- Demonstrated passion for and experience in beverage development, whether through formal education, work experience, or personal projects
- Excellent presentation and communication skills to effectively pitch new concepts and share your vision
- Comfortable working in a small team with a high degree of autonomy and initiative
- Familiarity with food and beverage operations and their ways of working
- Must reside in a major metropolitan area in the Southeast due to business needs: Atlanta, Orlando, Miami
- Must be willing to travel up to 30% domestically, with the potential for 1-2 international trips annually
We offer a competitive salary and benefits package, including flexible vacation time, paid volunteer days off, and a generous 401(k) matching program. We're a nimble and agile company that values innovation and creativity, and we're excited to welcome a talented and motivated individual to our team.
