Job Description

Role Summary

The Community Engagement Manager – FMCG-Daily Goods is a dynamic professional responsible for fostering collaborative relationships between Retail organisations, Industry Associations and GS1 Member Organisations with the goal of increasing the depth and breadth of GS1 Standards & Solutions usage to enable digital journeys and meet business needs in local markets and around the world.

Today, GS1 GTINs—more commonly known as barcodes—are widely used across the FMCG sector worldwide, enabling faster checkout, inventory management, supply chain visibility, and efficient ordering. Other GS1 standards and services, such as EDI, also play a critical role in companies' supply chain operations.

Building on this foundation, GS1 is strengthening its support to the FMCG community, which includes both retailers and brands within the FMCG sector. We are looking for a profile with retail experience to help drive the adoption and strategic use of GS1 standards across the sector through our GS1 Member Organisations around the world.

Working closely with GS1 Member Organisations, internal GS1 teams, and in collaboration with industry stakeholders, the successful candidate will act as a connector, enabler, and advocate—ensuring that GS1 standards are not only known, but also widely and meaningfully implemented to support digital transformation across the value chain.
