Research shows that while male candidates feel confident enough to apply when they meet about 60% of the requirements, female candidates only apply when they tick every box. So if this role has your name on it, but you’re not sure about the criteria, we still want to hear from you.
Within FrieslandCampina we value our culture. We stimulate win-win behavior. That means we look for people that are purpose driven and share our values. Who are commercially obsessed and want to move with speed and decisiveness. And people who display an owners mindset. Who act as if the company is theirs, focus on what's good for FrieslandCampina as a whole, drive impact and are mindful about the resources they spend.
The Director Strategy focuses on the strategic priorities of the Executive Board and the Supervisory Board. He/she works in a team of four other strategy professionals, mostly ex-consultants from top tier firms. Together they make up the core strategy team of FrieslandCampina. The team is the center of excellence in terms of strategic capabilities and sets the standard for the rest of the organization. When working on projects, the Director Strategy can leverage resources from the broader organization to create a dedicated team with the right mix of capabilities and expertise for that particular initiative. Other times he/she will have a more supporting and steering role, with the organization doing the work. The Director Strategy has the flexibility to manage different teams and different people, and to add value in a hands-on and hands-off way of working. The Director Strategy reports directly into the CEO and the Executive Board, and has significant exposure to the entire senior leadership, e.g. Business Group Presidents, Corporate Director R&D, Corporate Director HR and Corporate Director Supply Chain.
