People Lead Digitalization

**ERBACHER the food family** is a pioneer when it comes to sustainable nutrition. We are already working on recipes for the nutrition of tomorrow. For 80 years, our family business has always been a step ahead when it comes to innovative food for farm animals, pets, and high-quality food. Pioneering for the future and leaving outdated strategies behind have always been part of our company tradition and the reason for our success Our strong brands are known in Germany and all over the world. The success of our products depends on the fact that we enjoy working together. Our family spirit is more than just a word; we live it.

Our new Digitalization Area is one of our change driving units in the food family. As thought leaders and pioneers we have to recognize changes in customer expectations, market conditions, technical possibilities and external influences at a very early stage and find a response to them.
Our mission is to deliver the best possible user experience to our customers 24/7 across all digital touchpoints to generate reach, brand awareness and revenue.
This requires first-class digital marketing skills, an excellent understanding of data, and a keen sense of relevant trends. We consistently question how we can ensure greater efficiency and effectiveness with digitalized and automated processes in the food family.

Within our new area we will also take new paths when it comes to leadership. We will the leave the classical way, where personal and professional/functional leadership are thought together. Instead we will separate these two responsibilities from each other, which means that the People Lead will be responsible for the personal leading and development of 20 up to 30 people.
