So, what The Barn?

Arla’s in-house agency – The Barn – was established in 2019 to help our global and local brands win in a world of increasing media complexity. Today, we have strong teams specializing in everything from campaign development to production. We work interdisciplinary and we are curious, data-driven, and result-oriented.

Here's the essence of your new job

In this role, you will create compelling, trusted and visually inspiring food content that puts Arla products at the centre of people’s everyday lives. That’s the essence.

Furthermore, your tasks will be:

• Develop and create recipes featuring Arla products that are easy to follow and loved by consumers.


• Tailor recipe concepts to reflect local tastes, traditions, ingredients and seasonal moments in DE, UK, NL and FI.


• Produce on-brand  food photography and short-form video content for Arla websites and social platforms that brings recipes to life.


• Collaborate closely with our digital food, brand and market teams to localise content and make food content assets fit for campaigns.


• Help define trend-led editorial calendars and seasonal themes that resonate with our audiences.

Then there’s all the non-work-related fun, the fantastic vibes, and being part of an ambitious agency.

Who are you

You will thrive in this role if you bring a mix of culinary expertise, creative energy and cultural insight. To excel, you should have hands-on experience in recipe development, gained through education in food and nutrition or a related field. You should also have experience in food content creation, including photography, video, and styling. Familiarity with digital publishing workflows and content calendars is essential, as is experience working with cross-market or cross-functional teams.

We imagine that you have:

• Understanding of nutritional based recipe development and calculation.


• Understanding of SEO-optimised recipe writing.


• Culinary content creation for various social media (trends, formats, audiences and more)


• Strong hands-on cooking skills and confidence in testing and refining original recipes from data insights.


• A creative eye for food styling, photography and video content made for digital channels.


• Understanding of consumer food trends and cultural nuances across our focus markets.


• Excellent communication and collaboration skills and the ability to work across multifunctional teams.

What do we offer you?

This is your shot at joining an agency with an entrepreneurial mindset. An agency with full in-house capabilities covering everything from strategy to on-site production.

Our clients are our colleagues. This means we partner up and focus our energy on building the best solutions for our wonderful range of global brands such as Lurpak, Castello, Starbucks, Cocio, and obviously Arla.

We are fiercely ambitious, international and have hired from global hubs like London, New York and Singapore. But, unlike most agencies, we also offer a healthy and sustainable work/life balance and real flexible working. Some say The Barn is one of the best places they’ve ever worked. Must be the informal atmosphere. Or the people. Or both.

• The opportunity to work with beloved dairy products and share culinary inspiration across markets.


• A flexible role with colleagues across marketing, digital and local teams.


• A culture where learning and collaboration are core to our success.

Application and contact

If this sounds like the opportunity you’ve been waiting for, we’d love to hear from you! We process applications on a continuous basis and close the job opening once the right candidate is landed. Please apply with a short CV, and your motivation for joining our team.

• Full-time or Part-Time (minimum 20 hours pr. Week) available.


• Location: Based at the Barn, Arla Food Global Headquarters, Aarhus, Denmark
