apartmentRandstad placeAmsterdam calendar_month 

Do you believe innovation should be bold, insight-driven, and deliciously unexpected? Are you excited by the idea of working on breakthrough innovation platforms that don’t just follow trends but create them? If you're someone who loves to challenge the status quo, collaborates across borders, and wants to make a real impact in a playful yet purpose-driven category, then we’d love to meet you.

what we offer
  • salary up to €7500
  • 6 - 7 months
  • preferably 40 hours
  • location: Amsterdam
  • working for a large international organization

who are you

You are a passionate innovator with an entrepreneurial mindset and a desire to shape the future of consumer experiences. You’re not just creative—you’re also strategic, resilient, and always hungry for better (and yes, probably ice cream too).

You’re energized by solving complex problems, spotting big opportunities, and bringing people together to make ideas real.

  • You're a strategic thinker with a strong ability to spot future trends and translate them into opportunities
  • You combine curiosity with action—you’re as comfortable exploring white space as you are driving projects forward
  • You’re a collaborative communicator who can bring teams together around a shared vision
  • You embrace change and bring energy, resilience, and optimism to the journey
  • You are experienced in innovation and change management, ideally in FMCG or a related space

what will you do ...

In this role, you will lead long-term, game-changing innovation platforms for the Ice Cream category. You’ll turn trends, insights, and consumer needs into breakthrough ideas—and then work across teams to make them real. You'll also help embed new capabilities, tools, and models to speed up our innovation engine globally.

  • Design and lead strategic innovation platforms that feed into global brand and business unit plans
  • Identify future growth areas through trend mapping, insight mining, and adjacent category exploration
  • Bring in external expertise and drive collaboration across functions to build and scale bold innovation ideas
  • Champion new tools and agile ways of working (including AI) to accelerate and amplify impact
  • Inspire teams internally and externally to embrace change and unlock new sources of growth

where will you work

You’ll be part of a dynamic, international innovation ecosystem focused on shaping the future of Ice Cream. Working across global markets, you'll collaborate with talented colleagues from brand teams, R&D, consumer insights, and external partners.

You’ll report to the Ice Cream Innovation & Portfolio Transformation Lead and be empowered to think big and act boldly—while having fun along the way.

  • Work at the heart of a global innovation team with strong connections to local business units
  • Partner closely with R&D, marketing, insights, and external agencies to build breakthrough innovation
  • Operate in a high-energy, collaborative culture that values curiosity, inclusion, and impact
  • Get the freedom to explore new business models, platforms, and growth spaces
  • Be part of a team that celebrates creativity, loves learning—and really loves ice cream
