Sales and Marketing Assistant, APAC

We bring premium water from France to the four corners of the world. We bring to life our iconic global brands EVIAN, VOLVIC & plant-based brand ALPRO. You can rely on us to bring our waters to you, whether you're on holiday in exotic New Caledonia or shopping in Madrid.

We operate on a unique business model: Partnership with local distributors. We work with more than 120 distributors, operating in more than 110 countries. But we have to let you in on a little secret -- the team behind it is no more than 100 people, with employees strategically based around the world. In fact, we are probably one of the most culturally diverse Business Unit in Danone with 30 different nationalities in over 20 countries.

When you join us, you will be amongst like-minded individuals -- high-performing, autonomous & ambitious with a global mindset. Every individual makes a direct impact to our business results. We are a lean, mean, fighting machine, with a heavy-weight backing us from our corner -- Group Danone. We pick our fights carefully, always with an eye on the prize. Our consumers demand more than just water, and we fully intend to deliver on that.

We are all thirsty to prove that we are more than the sum of our parts. We are Evian Volvic Alpro International (EVAI).
