Global nutrition company with dairy heritage spanning performance, consumer, and ingredient brands
Glanbia is a 5,000+ person public nutrition company headquartered in Ireland with brands and ingredient platforms spanning sports nutrition, dairy, and specialty micronutrients. The tech stack is enterprise-heavy (SAP, Oracle, Hyperion, Tableau, ServiceNow) with heavy reliance on spreadsheet workflows (Excel dominates), signaling operational complexity across manufacturing, supply chain, and finance that outpaces digital automation. Active hiring skews toward sales (17 open roles), finance (14), and marketing (11)—a commercial-led velocity—while manufacturing (4) and engineering (5) roles remain constrained, typical of asset-heavy food and beverage operations.

Glanbia manufactures and distributes nutrition products globally across three main segments: performance nutrition (sports, recovery, strength), consumer lifestyle brands, and dairy and specialty ingredients (whey proteins, milk protein isolates, micronutrient premixes). The company operates manufacturing sites, supply chains, and go-to-market operations across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and emerging markets. Active projects center on product innovation, commercial scaling in continental Europe, trade architecture, and operational transformation (GPS implementation, GES programs). Current pain points reflect manufacturing and regulatory complexity: demand forecasting accuracy, cost reduction, sustainability reporting (EPR/DRS), packaging compliance, and FP&A automation across multiple jurisdictions.
Core systems include SAP (ERP), Oracle, Hyperion (planning), Tableau and Power BI (analytics), and ServiceNow (ITSM). Supply chain uses JDA and TMS. Ecommerce runs on Shopify with Google Analytics 4. Excel and PowerPoint remain heavily used.
Active hiring presence in 11 countries spanning North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Africa: US, Ireland, India, UK, Australia, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Italy, South Korea, Egypt.
