Commercial Pig Specialist
What are you going to do now?
For over 55 years, Duynie has been dedicated to one goal: creating new value from co-products in the food, beverage and biofuel industry.
Are you our new Commercial Pig Specialist?
This is not just another commercial role. It is a role for someone who understands pig farming from the inside out - and enjoys building real partnerships with farmers.
At Duynie division Feed, we work with liquid co‑products and turn them into smart, practical feed solutions. For our pig farmers, that means better performance, lower costs, and a more circular way of working. For you, it means a role where commercial success and technical expertise go hand in hand. You combine commercial drive with technical expertise to build long‑term partnerships with pig farmers, feed advisors, and key stakeholders, delivering nutritional solutions based on liquid co‑products.
What you’ll actually be doing
You’ll be the face of Duynie Feed in the swine sector of Northern France and Belgium. Someone swine farmers trust, call for advice, and want to work with long term.
In this role you will be responsible for the following tasks:
- Actively develop and manage customer relationships within the pig farming sector;
- Identify commercial opportunities and translate them into profitable solutions;
- Advise customers on nutritional strategies using Duynie division Feed products;
- Work closely with internal teams (logistics, nutrition, marketing);
- Monitor market developments, trends, and competitor activities and sharing insights internally;
- Be part of a larger swine team in Benelux to share knowledge and support each other.
Working at Duynie
Duynie is the largest European co-product processor. Annually, we process over 6,5 million tonnes of co-products. Our strong presence in 21 European countries helps us support international food, beverage, and biofuel producers - many of whom operate across borders. We help the world in the transition towards circularity by making optimal use of resources and reducing environmental impact. Together with partners, customers and stakeholders, we are constantly looking for new, creative ways to generate more value from co-products.
What are you taking with you?
This role is for you if…
- You have a commercial mindset and a genuine passion for pig farming;
- You feel comfortable talking about nutrition, feed, and farm economics;
- You enjoy working independently but value teamwork just as much;
- Circularity and co products make sense to you - not just as buzzwords;
- You communicate easily and naturally build trust with customers;
- You are fluent in French; English required. Dutch is an advantage;
- You are living in Northern France or Western Belgium or are willing to move there;
- You are willing to travel occasionally internationally within Europe about 1x per quarter – mainly to the Netherlands;
- Proactive, creative, and able to work independently are the description of your character;
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail are your style of working.
Nice to have (but not a dealbreaker)
- Hands-on nutritional experience or ration calculation skills for pigs;
- Experience working with CRM systems and data driven sales.
What do you get in return?
In this role you will have a significant impact on the growth of Duynie division Feed. You will join a talented and motivated team working toward a shared mission: transforming the feed industry by mainstreaming co‑products as sustainable alternatives to traditional feed sources.
