About the Position

Lindt & Sprüngli is seeking a seasoned Senior Corporate Development Manager to lead strategic initiatives across global markets. This role involves managing complex projects, aligning stakeholders, and embedding project management capabilities within our organization.

You will oversee operational efficiency, digital, and growth initiatives, ensuring they stay on track and deliver measurable impact. A key aspect of your role will be to train local teams in project management methodologies, building long-term execution capability.

The ideal candidate should have over 10 years of experience in corporate project management and business development within a multinational company. They should possess a broad skill set that allows them to manage diverse projects effectively, rather than being an expert in just one area.

    • Establish project planning, governance, and alignment with long-term business priorities.
    • Implement structured project management methodologies to drive execution consistency.
    • Proactively identify risks, remove roadblocks, and ensure accountability across teams.
  • Stakeholder & Cross-Functional Coordination
    • Act as the central coordination point between countries and global functions including the global lead of the GenAI Task Force.
    • Ensure clear alignment on priorities, resources, and execution timelines.
    • Build strong relationships across the organization to foster collaboration and problem-solving.
  • Develop Project Management Capabilities
    • Coach local teams in project management best practices to ensure sustainable execution.
    • Lead 'train the trainer' programs to develop in-house project management champions.
    • Embed a culture of structured problem-solving and continuous improvement.
  • Communication Group Strategy
    • Provide clear, structured updates to key stakeholders on the long-term strategic choices and ensure strategic initiatives are well-communicated and understood across the entire group.
    • Lead change management efforts to drive adoption of new processes and initiatives.
