• You work closely with your communication colleagues to coordinate internal development and to broaden storytelling towards relevant themes such as climate change and making the food system more sustainable.
• You translate the results we have achieved into communication tools for relevant target groups.
• You monitor the process, time and quality of communication projects.
• You discuss substantive themes, trends and developments and translate this into concrete terms.
