Job description

Nestlé has 150 years of international experience, which is one of the reasons we are the world's largest FMCG Company. Our strategy is to be leading in nutrition, health and wellness, which is why we also make a lot of research in these areas.

We have a strong product portfolio in the Nordics with brands such as Nescafé, Nesquik, Cheerios, Fitness, Maggi, After Eight, Smarties, NAN etc. We have high standards and a Nestlé brand – regardless which one – is a promise to the consumer that the product is safe to use, of high quality, and is in compliance with the law and guidelines set for the product.

We are now looking for a Regulatory & Scientific Affairs Specialist (RSA) for label text development and food regulatory tasks. You will be part of a team of 10 people and report directly to our Nordic Regulatory Affairs Manager. Your workplace will be located in Copenhagen.

· Proposing and implementing action plans in response to regulatory changes in the Nordic market
· Contributing as key member to local Innovation & Renovation projects in assigned business areas
· Coordinating compliance work with RSA in Nordics.

Furthermore, you will work closely with internal stakeholders such as the quality department, applications groups, nutritionists and marketing teams.

Your qualifications
You have a university degree in Food Science or Nutrition and have at least 1-2 years of work experience preferably in regulatory affairs. You have a sound knowledge of EU food legislation.

You have demonstrated good results in difficult operational environments. You know how to create networks to collaborate in a proactive manner.

You dare to evaluate risks and opportunities for your specific area and are not afraid of asking questions – on the other hand, you also work very systematic and structured and like to work result oriented.

You are willing to work in an international environment with different cultural backgrounds hence you must be fluent in English – oral as well as written. You should also be fluent in one of the Nordic languages, where Finnish language skill is considered as a big plus.
