Supporting member dairy farmers: You will work closely with our member dairy farmers to support them in complying with quality and sustainability standards. You act as a point of contact for questions and advice from colleagues (field services, backoffice) so they can help dairy farmers implement improvements on their farms.

You coordinate with German certifying bodies and standard owners such as QM (Qualitätsmanagement Milch), VLOG (Verband Lebensmittel ohne Gentechnik) and ProWeideland.
