About the job
Why We Exist
At Tony’s Chocolonely, our mission is to eradicate exploitation within the cocoa industry. We are more than just a chocolate brand; we are a movement that demonstrates how delicious chocolate can be made ethically. With our commitment to transparency and fairness, we’ve partnered with brands like Albert Heijn, Ben & Jerry's, Jokolade, and Aldi to promote a more responsible chocolate supply chain through Tony's Open Chain (TOC).
Your Role
We are on the lookout for a Senior Specialist in Product Strategy & Ideation to spearhead the future of a specific product segment in our expansive global portfolio. You will take ownership of a defined strategic area, such as seasonal offerings or snack products, and carve out its future trajectory. Your role will involve identifying key opportunities, anticipating consumer desires for the coming years, and translating these insights into a strategic roadmap that fuels Tony’s growth.
In this position, you will dive deep into insights, emerging trends, data, and cultural dynamics, transforming them into actionable ideas with genuine potential. You will refine these initial concepts into compelling product ideas that resonate with our consumers and align with our brand ethos. Acting as the bridge between strategic exploration and practical execution, you will ensure that all ideas are grounded in insights, commercially viable, and creatively compelling.
Collaboration is key; you will work closely with our R&D team to broaden our strategic thinking. Once a concept evolves into a project, you will partner with Project Managers who will lead the execution phase. Your oversight will ensure that the final product remains true to the original concept while accommodating practical constraints.
This role is pivotal in maintaining a forward-looking innovation pipeline. Your strategic foresight, consumer-centric approach, and talent for clarifying ambiguity will empower Tony’s to deliver exciting, trendy products and packaging that reinforce our brand and drive commercial success. You will be part of a dedicated sub-team of four and report directly to the Product Strategy & Ideation Manager.
