Commercial Project Manager DS EMEA

Job title: Commercial Project Manager Dietary Supplements EMEA (HNC)

Location: Copenhagen, Denmark / Sofia, Bulgaria / Barcelona, Spain.

Introduction

A brand owner has an idea. The terms get agreed, and then nothing happens, unless someone makes it happen. That is you, the Commercial Project Manager, holding customer, project manager, formulation, regulatory and supply together until the product hits the shelf (and a happy customer).

In this role, you will help bring dietary supplement solutions to market within our Health, Nutrition & Care (HNC) business, playing a key role in turning commercial opportunities into successful product launches.

Your key responsibilities

• Own the commercial outcome. Once a brief, price, timeline and volume are agreed, the opportunity is yours to convert through to first commercial shipment.
• Take the customer relationship over from the Business Development Manager and represent dsm-firmenich in every conversation that follows.
• Hold both sides together when things move. Customers change their minds, teams hit constraints, questions surface late. You re-set expectations in both directions and keep the opportunity standing.
• Mobilise the technical, quality, formulation, regulatory and supply people you need, without line authority over any of them, and keep every live opportunity current in CRM and ERP.
• Lead the improvements you can see. You sit where customer expectation meets our process, so you meet the friction first and you are expected to fix & improve it, not report it.
• Sharpen what we offer. You learn what customers actually need on the way to launch, so you shape where our value proposition, our next innovations and services should go.

We offer

• Unique career paths across health, nutrition and beauty - explore what drives you and get the support to make it happen.
• A chance to impact millions of consumers every day – sustainability embedded in all we do.
• A science led company, cutting edge research and creativity everywhere – from biotech breakthroughs to sustainability game-changers, you’ll work on what’s next.
• Growth that keeps up with you – you join an industry leader that will develop your expertise and leadership.
• A culture that lifts you up – with collaborative teams, shared wins, and people who cheer each other on.
• A community where your voice matters – it is essential to serve our customers well.

You bring

• Minimum 5 years of experience owning projects or accounts in supplements, nutrition, food or pharma, ideally alongside brand owners, tollers or CDMOs. A degree in life sciences, food science, pharmacy or a related field is preferred.
• You have taken at least two products all the way to market, and at least one of them changed shape along the way.
• A strong sense of accountability. You take initiative, speak up, and see things through. You are responsible and focus on what matters.
• Curiosity and an open mind, because you believe progress starts with asking, “Is there a better way?”
• A collaborative spirit. You are at your best when working across teams, functions and countries.
• An AI driven way of working. You already use AI to work faster and sharper, and you look for where it can lift the whole team.
