Job description

At Tetra Pak we commit to making food safe and available, everywhere; and we protect what’s good – protecting food, protecting people, and protecting the planet. By doing so we touch millions of people’s lives every day.

And we need people like you to make it happen.

We empower you to reach your potential with opportunities to make an impact to be proud of – for food, people and the planet.

Why this role matters

Business Transformation is critical to meeting customer and business needs and remaining competitive in the marketplace. Transformation is not an initiative for us; it’s a capability. Facility & Real Estate Management (FREM) plays a critical role, managing and transforming a global footprint that spans facilities, real estate, workplaces, capital investments, logistics assets, energy, fleet, and more.

We are now strengthening our transformation leadership by hiring a Transformation Portfolio & Programme Manager—a role designed for someone who thrives in complex environments where strategy meets execution.

This position is ideal for someone with both consulting and execution mindset who wants to apply rigorous transformation skills in a large‑scale industrial and enterprise context, driving tangible, operational change with long‑term impact.

This position is based in EMEA and reports to the Vice President Facility & Real Estate Management. Occasional travel is expected.

What You Will Do

You will operate as the change agent and catalyst of FREM’s transformation agenda—owning both the portfolio perspective and the hands‑on leadership of selected, high‑value global programmes.

Working closely with the FREM Leadership Team, you will shape priorities, orchestrate delivery, and ensure that change turns into sustainable business value.

Although this role has no formal people‑management responsibility, it demands strong leadership through credibility, influence, and clarity.

Transformation portfolio

• Manage the transformation portfolio and future pipeline, from demand shaping to prioritisation
• Design and apply portfolio prioritisation criteria that maximise strategic and financial value
• Lead portfolio governance, review cycles, and leadership “pulsing”
• Proactively identify dependencies, constraints, and resource conflicts—and drive resolution
• Strengthen benefit realisation, quality standards, and adoption of transformation best practices
• Leverage tools such as Planview to accelerate delivery with minimal disruption
• Capture learnings and continuously evolve FREM’s transformation ways of working

High‑impact programme leadership

• Lead complex, cross‑functional, global transformation programmes
• Anchor sustainable change across people, processes, systems, and data
• Apply a disciplined transformation approach while adapting to real‑world complexity
• Manage senior stakeholders and external partners with confidence and clarity
• Drive change communication that resonates across diverse operational environments
• Deliver outcomes through pace, structure, and execution excellence

You will operate in a high‑intensity, high‑visibility environment, where progress, judgement, and stakeholder trust matter as much as plans.

We believe you have

You combine analytical sharpness with pragmatic execution and are comfortable moving between executive‑level discussions and operational reality.

Typical Strengths You Bring

• A strong personal drive, ownership mindset, and bias for action
• Structured problem‑solving and the ability to simplify complexity
• Excellent stakeholder management and influencing skills at senior level
• Proven expertise in business transformation, change management, and portfolio/programme leadership
• A solid understanding of how large, asset‑heavy organisations operate
• A university degree and 5+ years’ experience in complex programmes and portfolios (background in transformation consulting and/or internal transformation roles is highly relevant)
• Excellent English communication skills, written and spoken

You will be part of a global leading company where our vision is to make food safe and available everywhere. We offer highly skilled and passionate colleagues, continuous training and development opportunities, a comfortable and activity‑based office environment, an attractive pension and insurance scheme, and health‑care arrangements.

A role that opens doors

This position offers exposure across the company. You will work closely with senior leaders, engage across multiple business units, and build a deep understanding of Tetra Pak’s global operations.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are everyday parts of how we work. We give people a place to belong and support to thrive, an environment where everyone can be comfortable being themselves and has equal opportunities to grow and succeed. We embrace difference, celebrate people for who they are, and for the diversity they bring that helps us better understand and connect with our customers and communities worldwide.
