Interested in something sweet? Join us as a Manager of Strategic Projects!
Delitzsch | Tradition Meets Growth | Full-time, permanent

If you're tired of mediocrity and want to influence decisions, come where real passion is — at Halloren, Germany's oldest chocolate factory.
Our mission: Make people happy — with chocolate and with you!

We are looking for a peer-level manager. A strategist with backbone. A professional who knows what they can do — and is ready to start with us.

Responsibilities

• You work directly with management — not as an assistant, but as an influencer
• You drive strategic topics, manage commercial projects, and keep the big picture in mind
• You analyze data — not just interpret it, defend it, and turn it into action
• You meet deadlines, achieve project goals, and keep all stakeholders on track
• You serve as a spokesperson, mediator, and doer — internally and externally

Profile

• A completed business administration degree or equivalent qualification
• At least 10-15 years of professional experience — you're no rookie, you know the game
• Clarity of mind, quality in actions, responsibility at heart
• Ideally, you have SAP skills
• Excellent English skills spoken and written (interview conducted in English with a native speaker)
• You can laugh in a team — and critically question when things go wrong
• You are open, communicative — and sometimes charmingly assertive

What we offer

• Freedom to shape your work instead of routine tasks
• Flat hierarchies, quick decisions, real responsibility
• Bonuses for good ideas — we listen!
• Relevant further training
• Central location, excellent connections, parking included
• Givve-Card with 44€ per month after 6 months of employment
• Employee discounts, friendly colleagues, open doors and ears
• And of course, CHOCOLATE
