Global Category Manager - Juice Concentrates & Derivatives H/F - 84

30% of global agricultural raw materials end up as wasted resources. In other words, 6% of our global carbon emissions are generated for nothing. That's IT. At Hubcycle, we are at war against that. We turn industrial waste into sexy B2B ingredients to make our food system more sober. We reinvent the industrial value chain by creating ingredients 100% made from unused resources. We purchase side-streams (byproducts) and turn them into competitive ingredients that we sell, with no compromise on quality.
- Side-streams - typical examples :

Fruit pomaces, seeds and akenes are obvious ones. But you might BE curious to know how we have found concentrated juices and fruit powder as a waste of some industries too. Wasting them is nonsense. We can't keep wasting thousands of tons of such resources.You will BE the Global Category Manager of Juices, Concentrates & Derivatives. We visited many manufacturing sites to confirm there is indeed something big to do. Now, IT's confirmed that IT is ready to grow, and grow big. We are now in the hunt for an expert to do IT way bigger, way faster, and way better than us as beginners. So we want you to develop sales, sourcing, product management, as well as your team knowledge in this category.

We feel that we are at the beginning of something huge. This is a unique opportunity to take responsibility from the beginning, and push IT with no limits.
