Overview

New Innovation Operating Model as part of Pepsico’s Next Chapter

As we implement Pepsico’s ‘Next Chapter’ Organizational Transformation across the consumer / commercial teams, we are re-structuring the Business Units in Western Europe (WE) into one new operating unit (OU). The 3 key market units (MUs) of Spain, France and Netherlands are all classed as ‘Anchor Markets, in that they are all global priority markets to deliver against the innovation and commercial agenda within the Next Chapter.

Within Europe, we have defined a bold ambition for foods of $10B NR ($4B NR incremental) by 2030. Inorganic growth and whitespaces in the Foods Category in Western Europe will contribute $500MM of this across over the next 4 years, with this role being a key enabler in contributing the commercialization agenda to deliver the innovation required to meet this growth ambition.

This role is part of the WE Hub based in spain, who will support all MU’s depending on workload and priorities on multi market projects.

We are looking for a Commercialisation Assistant to join WE Commercialisation team hub in Barcelona. The role will be primarily focused on leading low complexity Commercial Change Projects, this is:
