(Junior) Product strategy & Market Intelligence specialist

Why we are here

Tony’s Chocolonely is committed to ending exploitation in cocoa. We are an impact company that makes chocolate, not a chocolate company that makes impact. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand in hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Albert Heijn, Ben & Jerry's, Jokolade, and Aldi have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate too.

What you will do

We are looking for a (Junior) Product Strategy & Market Intelligence Specialist to join our Product team and help us stay one step ahead of what consumers, retailers and the market are signaling. In this role, you are the team’s “radar”: the first to spot emerging trends, track category shifts, analyse our performance and uncover opportunities that shape where we focus next.

You will translate data into simple stories that guide our thinking, turning dashboards, sales results and trend reports into sharp insights that inspire the team. You will support the Manager and Senior Specialists by providing the proof points they need for bigger strategic decisions, and you will take ownership of smaller product segments such as Seasonals or Portfolio Renovations. This includes turning insights into early ideas and helping craft simple concepts that can enter our innovation funnel.

You’ll collaborate daily with the Product Strategy team, regularly with Markets to understand regional performance, and closely with the Delivery team when smaller projects move toward execution. This role is perfect for someone early in their career who is curious, analytical, eager to grow and excited to work in a fast-paced, impact-driven environment. You will be part of a sub‑team of four, with no direct reports, and report to the Product Strategy & Ideation Manager.

We are also hiring a Senior in this team: Tony's Chocolonely - Product Strategy & Ideation Senior Specialist

• Support the Product Strategy team in maintaining a strong, evidence-based innovation funnel.
