- Communicate actively with applicants and certified customers, providing necessary information and addressing customer needs.
- Perform analysis of assessment reports and data sets to support evidence-based certification decisions.
- Handle certification applications and related processes as part of the overall Analyst responsibilities, depending on operational needs.
- Enter, maintain and ensure accuracy of data across relevant systems.
- Contribute to the continuous improvement of assurance processes and participate in cross-functional projects as required.
- Support identification and delivery of new assurance services where relevant.
Your qualifications, experience and skills
- University degree (B.A. or equivalent) or vocational education in Business, Agronomy, Economics, Food Science or related fields.
- At least two years of relevant professional experience in an office-based and customer-oriented environment.
- Fluency in English (written and spoken) and in at least two additional European languages relevant for Certification Europe operations.
- Additional European language skills are considered an asset.
- Strong analytical skills and structured working style.
- Excellent communication skills and intercultural competence.
- High reliability and team orientation.
