Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) / Member of the Executive Board (d/w/m)

TENZ is a Swiss food & drinks company with Tibetan roots. What began as a donation project is today a growing family business with over 200 employees. With our own production, gastronomy operations, festivals & events, delivery, as well as a growing B2B and retail business, we combine a strong brand with different distribution channels and business models.

For our next development phase, we are bundling the commercial organization under a single leadership. As Chief Commercial Officer and member of the Executive Board, you will take overall responsibility for F&B, B2B, Delivery and Festivals & Events as well as Brand & Marketing. You combine commercial strategy, P&L responsibility, brand and leadership, and steer the areas consistently from the perspective of the entire company.
