Senior Brand Manager DACH (BiFi)

Link Snacks , we show up hungry, roll up our sleeves, plaid or otherwise, and dive straight into the hard work.

We don't hide from challenges; we hunt them down.

We push harder, move faster, and take the kinds of big swings that built this business in the North Woods of Wisconsin four decades ago.

We're everyday people who deliver extraordinary results.

Innovation, creativity, and urgency aren't buzzwords, they're expectations.

And just like the real protein snacks we make across our global house of brands.

What you see is exactly what you get: humble, gritty, passionate people who show up every day ready to not just participate in the meat snack industry that the Link Family created, but to move faster, innovate harder and keep raising the bar.

As part of the

Link Snacks global enterprise, our team across EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) is focused on driving the growth of the real meat protein snack category with a strong emphasis on our brands: Jack Links®, Peperami®, Bi Fi®, and Minuets.

We operate through a network of regional offices and production sites across Europe in Germany, Netherlands and United Kingdom.

Dominating this space across the world takes a team.

A team that runs together, succeeds together, and celebrates together.

A team that’s full of relentless energy and spirit that can only be fueled by one thing: a fist full of our delicious meat snacks.

But we're not just about snacks; we're driven by our core values: We team up, we tell it like it is, we own our game and shoot for the moon!

Values we bring to life. Every. Single. Day.
